Well you Americans might measure it in ounces, but here in the real world, we use an actual measure of thickness, mm :D
1 SQF of leather in different thicknesses have different weights, if you put them on a scale. That is where the "oz" measurement for thickness comes from. But I agree.. it feels backwards. I like the "mm" measurement better.
As for differing measurement systems throughout the world a little math helps.
We will use anything to measure, long as it's not Metric. 😂
The metric makes so much more sense.
Yes we don’t understand oz , if he talk in mm I would easily understand the thickness in my head.
This would’ve been a lot easier if you would’ve just shown us the thickness of each one
Love the videos man. What type of skiving tools do you use. I'm looking for some new ones 😂
Palo Santo Factory French skiver!
Excellent information! Was wondering where you got your leather thanks brother! Keep up the great content 👏 👌 👍
It's the sewing machine I would like to know about. I bought a heavy duty singer to hope to sew learher I salvaged off off couches.
A heavy duty singer may do the trick for thinner leathers (especially garment leather) but typically a more industrial leather sewing machine is needed for thicker leather projects!
Just make sure to get a sturdy sharp and thick shanked needle.
Thanks for the details explanation.
