Jewish Leprechaun Posted April 17, 2009 Share Posted April 17, 2009 I'm trying to successfully make bellows. Now, I have skived leather (0.025in or 0.5mm thick) . Is it necessary to skive further for the gussets and other parts or can I go ahead and just glue at this thickness? -Lep Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know it's dark and lonely work, but there's no option if you want it to look like a proper job - so no skiving off! Regards, David Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
