Cutting |

As mentioned before leather is very expensive. So be very careful when
cutting your pieces. First of all mark all the useless parts of your hide on
the back of it (e.g. the wrinkled parts, scratches ...). Now put all the
templates of the parts you will need on the back of the hide and try to put
them in a pattern to use as little leather as possible. To mark them put
something heavy on the template to keep it straight. Best are metal weights. I
used books. Sounds simple but works. Now mark around the template. If the
distance between the edge and the seam is standard you don't have to mark the
seam, if it is somehow different from the rest mark it as well. The marking of
the flutes works somehow different. See further down.
To avoid any confusion keep the template and the leather piece together till you have used it. |
