Excellent video as always James! Learning French as i go along!

Very nice. I like both diamond and French pricking irons. Too many leather people on KZread using round hole irons with 4, 5, or 6mm spacing. On things like wallets and watch straps it looks silly, but I think that even larger pieces like bags or briefcases look better with tighter, slanted stitching. And that ghost leather is beautiful. Ahhhh, so much leather and so little time.

Your leathercrafting itself is a wonderful think to watch, but you also add some exemplary parenting in action! Thank you so much, you gives u hope that even after being father we can still responsibly pursue this hobby/career 😂

It turned out good 👍🏻 i gues you hade some help from the princess

Princess was very generous in providing tips and constructive feedback throughout the process ;) Glad you like the end result!

I may be wrong with this one but usually water based glue should be used like contact cement. Apply on both faces, allow to dry a few minutes until barely tacky then press parts together. And yes too much of it obviously. That's probably why you find it to work not as good as neoprene glue. Les commentaires de Jeanne m'ont bien fait rigoler aussi ! 😁

Not all water based, no. For example, Renia Aquilim 315 requires only one surface to be treated and can be applied and put together wet or treated as a contact cement with both sides, leaving to tack.

@@recif77 You're welcome. I switched to 315 years ago because it's the only water based adhesive that holds like a regular contact cement. Also helps that it doesn't have VOCs in it, so you can use it in an enclosed room without damaging your brain.
