      ^ why have you actually shorten to the wrong length before?

          Yes.  I used to write the inside leg length on the order, take it to the cutting bench and then occasionally I would cut to that length, forgetting I had to add an inch on for the folded over hem.

          Now Paula writes in very big letters, the cut length and in small letters the finished inseam length…....

            Ah I see. You already have your system but what I do is chalk both finish length and cut length that way your never second guessing yourself just before you cut.

            If there is no two lines then don't cut and always cut the longer length. = measured twice cut once

                                Finally managed to squeeze some time to post these photos. Went to Sarawak last week, imo, great place if you are keen about their culture and heritage..

                                I will end this post with the 2 fooodie photos. The stingray and the bbq chicken is really damn good, and cheap! Although I went Sarawak for projects, and was really dragging myself tere before the trip, I can say that I enjoyed myself a lot, and I kind of love the place for its strong heritage.

                                    Max, you're making me blush.. 🙂 No, it's just a hobby of mine. I started by making watch straps two and a half years ago. Since I couldn't find the kind of strap that I wanted (or afford the ones that were available) I decided to make my own - I mean, how hard can it be right? Well it turned out that there was indeed a learning curve and every time I got something done I thought of a million things or details that could be improved - and still do.

                                    Here's a picture of my first watch strap (it hurts and embarrasses me to show it but I have to prove a point here guys)

                                    .. and here are some of the straps I've made that look a lot nicer:

                                    Here's a wallet I made earlier this year that gets a lot of use:

                                    And a belt I made:

                                    I encourage everyone that have an interest in the subject to try it out, it's a lot of fun and you really start to appreciate the effort (and hence the price) that goes into everything that's crafted with a high attention to detail - just like Iron Heart  😉

                                        Thanks! I've thought about it and done some planning as well around the subject but since I'm starting a new job in a couple of weeks and it's going to take up a lot of time from me I think I'm pretty much going to keep leatherworking as a hobby, at least in the near future until things settle down a bit. I've done and will do custom stuff for sale but I'd like to keep it small scale for the time being.

                                          Hi Ron,
                                          Glad you had a good time in Sarawak and get to know part of the culture and heritage.
                                          Kolo mee is a local favourite and  a longhouse is really a must to experience.

                                          I bet if you stay a bit longer there you might have a tattoo.  😉
