Thank you! Navy Blue is beautiful! The skills you have shared in this course are truly inspiring!

[@LeathercraftMasterclass]

Thank you Ceder! Yes, I had a hard time choosing this option over Havana brown, but navy provides something different whilst also being timeless.

The Navy blue ended up looking very very choice! Excellent video as always💪

[@LeathercraftMasterclass]

Absolutely! Appreciate the feedback 👍

What are the silver weights on your left in this video and where can we find them?

[@LeathercraftMasterclass]

They're actually doorstops. I got mine at Aldi 👍

[@briang3598]

I don't suppose you could tell non-students what the tool is that you use to thin the lesther for the gussets? 😅

[@LeathercraftMasterclass]

French edger, but more so to allow almost anyone to create this bag even without machinery. But for those that can use one, a manual splitter or crank splitter is far superior.
