This is a new weekly challenge designed to help us all elevate our skills to a more professional level. week 1: The 5 Straight Cuts Challenge Skill Focus: Blade control Challenge: Cut 5 straight lines on scrap leather, each 3–4 inches long. Share: Post a photo of your lines. Goal: Consistency, not perfection. Note: they don't need to be parallel just the cut it self needs to be straight Get your favorite straight edge, this should only take a couple minutes

Lets see those lines people, post a picture of one of your most recent projects and lets how everyone is progressing with their practice

Which leathercraft technique fought you the most? Everyone has that one technique that was just a bit harder to grasp then the rest. For me it was the seam allowance, I would always put my stitching holes too close to the edge and end up pulling the thread through the leather. Probably cost me a good $300 in materials Your turn, tell your tales

For any of you who are interested in learning how AI and Leatherworking can go together, I'm thinking about putting together a Video or a Course on it. Would this be something you all are interested in?

I finished editing Lesson 3. Lesson 4 may take a little longer since there are a lot of demos and walkthroughs in that one. I'm working for you though. Enjoy
