and it melts under direct sunlight on hot summer day ;P
I usually only buy thing that have customer pictures, but that was the only one of the type I wanted.
didn't know Tervy is the resident Leatherman
but yeah 150cm long 2-3cm wide and 3-5mm thick leather strips can be upwards to 15-50d ollaroos depending on quality,thickness etc
so indeed 35 from "ready" product is quite nice even for bonded stuff
@Cole im not professional nor even hobbyist but have handled some and made some stuff
make me a leather gag
i wanted to start it as hobby but never found time
D-daddy
>leather >gag, please just get jawbreaker like normal children
They do advertise it as real leather cut from cowhide with an identification chart for blemishes one would only see on real leather
But you can tell it’s bonded, even from the product photos
tbh from punisheds photos it cant be 100% sure its bonded
without tear test
I’m aware that “real leather made from cowhide” means dickall.
and that would ruin the product
heres some example of chinese leather prices https://www.aliexpress.com/item/WUTA-High-Quality-Full-Grain-Veg-Tanned-Leather-Picece-Handmade-DIY-Genuine-Leather-Fabric-Cowhide-Tooling/32837037293.html?
to give perspective
Kek, the reviews
Someone busted out the calipers and got chinked.
probly people being dumb as fuck
as leather is not uniform on animals its hard to promise that uniform 2mm on non-split leather
specialy if you buy whole side and start going tru it with micrometer to find thinnest spot
But look how they advertise it
2mm is probly the delta
(1.8-2.4mm)
indeed
“We gowantee it be 2 mirrimetah! See cariper!”
considering that huge ass disclaimer there
The real thickness of the items may be slightly different from different batch productions.Even with a piece of leather, different parts, the thickness may also have differences.
those complainers were just trying to chink the chinks :P
But with the wide range, though.
If you’re selling me 1.8-2.4mm leather, I’ll get butthurt if it’s thinner than that.
i love those chinks tho " Material: First Layer Cow Skin "
its not split as its first layer (what is true in terms of craft)
but yeah your point still stays tho
NEVER believe random micrometer,caliper pictures from sellers or from reviews
who the fuck knows how often they drop and throw those instruments
or if its intentionaly tuned to show litlebit above or under
i have bought 1 doublebut and 2 shoulders from china and some other parts for random seller tests
Fuck it, gave them one star.
It's not even the leather quality, it's the lies.
