I bought the Vevor press and 100% recommend. If anyone was on the fence, like I was, I’m glad I bought it.

I was using the Harbor Freight press for years, but I am so glad I bought this Vevor. I use it to press big stamps into 4-5oz leather and to cut coasters with a clicker die. It works perfectly.

I have an ARE truck topper and I can’t remember how to flip down or open the window.

My truck topper has the flip down window that is toward the front and it has a small sliding window. I haven’t opened them in awhile and I can’t figure out if I’m sliding the window in the right direction or if I’m operating the flip down latches correctly. I feel like I might break something because everything is stuck. Can someone send me a picture of theirs?

Is there any reason I can’t rebind a Bible, in leather, with flush edges?

I always see people folding over the edges around the liner and pleating corners, but is that necessary? It would be much easier to flush cut everything and sew the edges like a leather journal.

Apparently I am doing something wrong regarding double kettlebells. Please help.

I tried ABF and I am now doing Maximorum. I use 18kg for single work, then I just grab another 18kg for double work. Am I not supposed to do that? I have to admit, the swings are much harder with two 18s, but there doesn’t seem to be any guidance on what weight to use. Am I supposed to use less weight?

How come Ghizas Wheel doesn’t have the normal running two-hand move of a colossal weapon?

When Raider runs with a colossal weapon in two hands, he normally slides it along the ground as he runs toward the enemy. The ghizas wheel doesn’t do that, and it seems like the perfect weapon to do it with.

How do I get the best deal on a bell skiver? Or when is the best time to buy?

I’m interested in just getting a brand name skiver. I know people get skivers from Amazon, but I’m not interested in that. The problem is I don’t really know where to buy a bell skiver besides Tandy or Maker Leather Supply. Also, if there are other reputable sites, do they ever offer discounts or free shipping?

I really wish that when Raider did his Ult, his first jumping hit from the top of it did massive damage.

It would be so cool to hit the Ult and then just jump off with double colossal weapons and deal huge damage.

I’ve seen wood workers that have a nice two door cabinets that seem to hold all their stuff. Is there anything similar for leather crafters? I’m just looking for something that has drawers or somewhere to hand tools that I frequently use.
