I haven't yet, but still thinking I will. It's next to impossible in Canada to find a single creaser and an adjustable creaser, so if I go with the Summit + tips, I'll have all my bases covered. Hoping too that the smaller heads will help around tight curves as well, where I struggle a bit with using the Wuta creasers. I will report back after I've ordered and had a chance to use them for a while!

oh my goodness, dropping it and chipping it is my worst fear! Thank you for the advise on how to best strop it.

@Leathercraft Masterclass ahh good, that's what I was thinking, so I'm glad I'm not going to need to polish each facet. I'll plan to just regularly strop it on each side then. I've been using it just on a simple wallet, and I'm pleased with how easy the awl makes it to get good consistent stitches on the back side.

@nnelums thanks! I could see that it might not be the best fit for really small stitches.

@lawetterau haha, my tool collection has definitely grown since subscribing! I don't have the Wuta pricking irons but I do have their edge creasers and like them. I went with the 4Z 3.38mm pricking irons and they've been great. I see you're a dressage rider! I rode H/J and evented for years, and I'm looking forward to getting back into horses when my daughters are a little older. I think being an equestrian definitely gives you an appreciation for fine leather goods. Looking forward to seeing what you create!

@lawetterau thank you! You won't regret subscribing to the classes, they are fantastic. It was the best decision I've made for progressing my bagmaking skills 🙂

Thanks Angelo!

Thank you David!

Thanks for the kind comments! That's exciting to hear that you are planning on releasing more separate patterns 😊. Hoping one day you'll do a course on the Buckram Weekender bag. I swooned when I saw it, the saddle silhouette it has is just 👌. Also, thanks for the push to get my business going on Instagram, I've been procrastinating with that. I've posted my Turenne and tagged you, I'd love it if you shared it!

Thank you very much, Judit!

Thank you! I quite like the purple. Next version of this bag though I'd really like to do a black leather with a red suede for a bit of a Louboutin vibe.

Thank you! Yes, it's a backpack. Not my favorite style in terms of functionality, but it does have a unique look to it.

We are pretty spoiled over on Vancouver Island, that's for sure. Not too many places in the world where you can ski, hike, and boat all in one day.
