Bi-fold prototype
I thought I better post something as I've been very vocal on everyone else's posts of late π¬π
So the outer is Walpier Dollaro in whiskey and the lining and internals is Bakers of Colyton oak bark tan in russet.... or if you fancy and stuffs au naturale π. It was good to work through a few new processes I came up with and also exploring thicknesses for the lined pieces. I am going to remake with my modification on the pattern and a drop in thickness as low as I/others who have given advice dare to go and then give it a good old abuse test to see how it holds up.
That's about it really π

Thanks Phil, yeah it's funny that's exactly what I said to Andy earlier that I didnt like the contrast stitch and will be going more subtle from now on. This wasnt bad for a prototype and I'm going to refine it for the real thing. On the next prototype (as we discussed on a previous post) I'm gonna drop the thickness of the T-slots to .8ish and skive the life out of certain areas to see how elegant I can get it. I've also seen people not stitching the top section of the t slot part and the internal long part which gives the illusion of two thin parts rather than one slightly thicker so I may try that.
