🍺 Alright. Resolved that hands-on leather work is not meant to be for today. Will need to do some later tonight and early tomorrow morning. Beer outside in the sun and the computer end of things for the rest of the work day.

⛔ Day is not going to plan, but that's ok. Will just shift accordingly. Is what it is.

The handles cut into the ends of each leather bin are marked and cut by hand. I could have a die made to cut these out on my clicker press, and probably will in the future, but for now by hand it is :-)
⏱️ Getting my timesheet up to date for the day then prepping for a large leather dye job.

Once I move I’d like to add more physical media [back] into my life (records, photo albums, CDs, DVDs, etc). When it comes to a blue ray player (or equivalent), what should I be looking for? I jumped from DVD to streaming way back when, skipping Blue Ray completely.

I’m looking forward to empty space
😶🌫️ Feeling overwhelmed by all the ideas, the things, what I want to do, what needs to be done. Frozen, foggy, befuddled. Eating ice cream now, then...unsure.

Prototype 1c - suede cigar case. A success! I’ll use this one as my case. The final version for my client will be a lovely gray suede with black accents and his company logo hand painted and stitched into the top.
35 total panels marked and cut and ready to be dyed. Will be transformed into 7 12x12x12 leather bins over the course of the next few days.
So far pretty happy with this.
Bought a pair of scissors a while ago to use for this suede and now can’t find them…not many places for them to hide…
Raw material.
