both are from the same company and seems to be the same...not sure what the technical difference is. Would beed to ask them directly. Im using Vildona.

I forgot.. Exist also a vegan product made with apple waste. appleleather.com But... I'm not sure, but I think it's possible that are made with plastic materials too.

Hi Justin, thank you very much, these suppliers we are aware about 🙂 Actually, we are searching for something more - really high quality hardware (YKK, Riri, MM Colombo...), for buttons and studs in small quantities.. Thank you

I think It's better to be able to control the speed of the knife and the speed of the feed roller separately. I don't think there is as much benefit to having a third motor for the grinding stone, even though it would be nice to have.

Hi Peter, where can I get salamander? Also what is Vildona. I is Bontex and bonded leather amongst a few other products as reinforcements.

Hello Anthony, I'm not experienced, but regarding the zip slider question, I would say that the slider should be on the left side (next to your handle), allowing it to open from left to right...

My question instead it would be about the protections (copyright) in case you find your personal unique pattern. how can you protect it if you are at the begin and of course you are not Hèrmes and you have not a lot of money to invest? Exist a way to do it? To proof that's it's your model in case of copy?

I think if the lining you use is very thin your only option would be to glue the sides instead of the entire surface

Hi Shannon, I was able to purchase Vildona from Matthias Jung at E. Jung. He can be reached by email at Jung.muehlheim@t-online.de. I hope this helps!

You're welcome 😊
