Wow, love the silver foil: so clean! It looks like you blind emboss it first, then heat foil it twice?

[@WillHodges]

Thank you! Yes, the blind emboss is to flatten the grain/scale, then the first emboss is lighter to lay in the foil and the second is harder for a shorter time to push the foil down into the emboss

[@slpceline]

Amazing! Thanks for the explanation! I always struggle to get a clean foil on alligator@@WillHodges

I have been having some issues with edge paint. It seems that I should not be using an edge beveling tool before painting but after I sand them even I have a thicker edge than when I started. So I bevel the worked up leather off but it seems to be very difficult to get an even edge coating after.

Hi nice work - what is the purple tear-off material you sue to protect the workbench when gluing?

[@WillHodges]

Thank you! It’s just a massive roll of craft paper I use

[@alandrewgibson]

@@WillHodges ah I see and where do you get your bonded leather and Italian veg tan from? Thanks.
