France isn’t exactly timely here. It’s on the market for 3 years?! Now they ban it?

Mine were fairly recent and needed to be deleted several times to stay deleted. Seemed really random.
Keep your account for a while after deleting
Mine are staying delete now after initially a few popping back up. What’s more concerning is that I requested my data a few weeks after I deleted my content. I was fully expecting to get empty files but nope ALL of my content. Dating back 10 years is still there! It’s not on my Reddit profile but they clearly kept it somewhere and can recall it whenever they want to. They do not delete the data.
Ah it’s a tight race with the Twitter blue check mark
I’ll have to reconsider what I want. I thought the Mac mini would be just a good use for it and I already have it.
Thanks. Sounds manageable but now I hear that my mini might not be as simple … oh well I guess I’ll have to look for some hardware.
Ugh. I guess I abandon that project.
It’s a 2011ish mac mini (2.3 ghz dual core intel core i5)?! I have seen several tutorials but I really need something easy to follow. I haven’t seen one that makes sense to me yet.
Amazing! Let’s keep this going!!!
I am in Canada. I still ordered some stuff (they’re chisels!) from them. But I am sure you’ll find some supplier in your country as well. It depends a bit what you want to make. I am more of a jack of all trades as well but Leathercraft really got me hooked. Start out with some smaller projects while you figure out where you want to go. I started with earrings and luggage tags etc. You don’t need much for this. But when I discovered handbags are actually doable … boy oh boy lol. I bought some tools I don’t use much but I call that investment in my learning. One thing I won’t do again is buy hardware (snaps, buckles, rivets etc) just to have them. It’s much better to design, plan and then go shopping for that specific item. I have a bunch of hardware that I might never use or not in a long time. I started buying exactly what I need now and that’s much better. Even when you typically have some leftovers. At least you might use more to fix something later because you have already used it. And I also know for example what strap width I like. Now I buy that size of hardware.
Thank you!
You know what? I think I can help you a bit here. I just started in October and I started making earrings. Small items, just playing around with a cheap cut of leather.
I can highly highly recommend Weaver’s YT channel, especially Chuck’s Leather Element videos. He is a fantastic teacher and he literally will teach you about anything you need to know. If you are in the US it’s also the best place to buy some leather and their tools. They aren’t in your face advertising, it’s really helpful. The quality is good if not great and their prices are ok. They link a lot of their stuff.

Try some of their free patterns if you like or you can buy some on Etsy etc. I made a couple and then started designing my own.
It’s the trickiest part for me but again Chuck explains well how to go about making pattern etc. It’s incredibly freeing.
Join us in the Leathercraft (just follow the link in the post) community if you want. I am hoping we get a good discussion going for beginners to experts.
Just got their email. That was it for me. I had kept my account to make sure they aren’t bringing back my deleted posts. Time to get rid of the account and tell them they suck.
