Hey! I’m fairly new to leathercrafting but with the help of Peter’s Tutorials and help of the community I managed to get my first projects done and now I started an IG Channel (@lovatovienna) to share my work. Maybe you have a minute to check it out: https://Instagram.com/lovatovienna Let me know what you think! Here is one of my last posts:

Hi Peter, would it be possible please, at the end of your tutorials (or somewhere ) to list tools used and suppliers e.g electric creaser , thread supplier - thickness etc ? Thank you. Loving them so far - so helpful - thank you !

Hi everyone. I'm wondering, if you sell your work, how do you price it? There are so few hand-stitched bag makers I can find online to compare my prices against. On the one hand, I know I don't have the brand caché to benchmark against a heritage company like Hermes. But on the other, my work is 100% saddle stitched and uses top-level luxury materials, so I don't want to benchmark against a lesser-quality brand. And, of course, I want my pricing to be in line with you, my fellow bag-makers, so I'm not accidentally undervaluing everyone's work. Thoughts?

Hi I’m Shannon. I design and make leather handbags and accessories. I sew all of my products on my industrial sewing machines. Now I am wanting to hand stitch some of my handbags. I’m new to this and am looking to get the tools I need to get started. I live in the metro Atlanta area of the USA. Where can I find the tools suggested by Peter? Thank you.

from the influence of @atelierpeternitz i am retiring all my VB irons and switching to KS, i realize not only the strength of the metal but the length of the teeth matters alot especially punching through thick layers without using awl, I have a question though, considered giving up the 1 teeth iron, switching to round dent suggested from the video, do I really need both 1 tooth round dent in size #8 and #9? do they have any significant differences? I inboxed KS but hasnt gotten any reply

Hi all, can someone tell me what the names of these specific boards are & where i can purchase them. That would be a great help! Thank you Malik

Hello guys, I’ve been wondering as per topic. got my self ostrich from KK couple months back, it surprises me how loose and inconsistent the fiber layers can be even though they were sold at a not too cheap price tag. Similar experience with snake skin.. I tried using my bell skiver but it’ll end up seperating the scales because it went too deep. As for ostrich, it happened again.. it’ll go deeper under the follicle as they are slightly thicker due to the pearl (which ive already tapped them down) and which will also give pressure going into the feed of the bell skiver (i guess?) thus, i am wondering, how do I do this?
