Wow, very nice. Didn't even know there was such a thing as 5 mm leather. Did you have to use a leather gauge on the inside to fold it?

 

[HillBill]

Sweet that mate.

Niels, i have some 6mm leather

I got some about 9mm chrome tanned.

Great work.

hi niels....it required quite a bit of internal 'skiving' yes and then bent into shape whilst damp....

You need an adjustable V groove tool ( if you havent already.) i find them much quicker and simpler

yo....i have one....i just didnt want to start going into all that kit stuff and complicating everything lol!....i thought i'd just stick with skiving as it pretty much covers the same thing.

now look what youve done.....''whats an adjustable v groove tool?''.....

answer:

'google it' lolol!
