I made some modifications to the pattern to make it more how I like it. I used Veg-tanned Bellies 5oz leather for this project. The steps The laser machine is not involved at all in this project.

I'm not really into shaving at all, but I want something that works and safety razors does both work and is cheap in the long run. For those interested, I bought a AL13 razor from Henson Shaving [1].

Leather is so general purpose and is both robust and nice looking. So far I've made myself a wizard hat, dice bags, mug pads, bookmarks.. The majority of all leather projects involves a sewing, which is quite entertaining but really time consuming so I invested in a $60 leader sewing machine which make the whole process a lot smoother. https://www.marcusfolkesson.se/projects/leather-penguin/ Fri, 16 Oct 2020 17:39:34 +0200 https://www.marcusfolkesson.se/projects/leather-penguin/ Leather penguin A Linux guy needs his penguin, right? I found this pattern [1] on etsy and thought it would be a fun project to make a little companion. The leather I'm using for this is a 2-3oz veg-tanned goat skin. It is a little too thin to make a robust penguin, but I rather want it soft and squeeze-friendly than robust. That's how I prefer to have my companions.
