Skiving leather for bellows?


Recommended Posts

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?

The edges of a gusset will be very visible indeed if you don't skive them - 0.5mm will look like a doorstep. 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
