Wow, what an awesome concept! The dinosaurs look so much more authentic when made from leather vs wood. It would be interesting to see this concept extended to other items (leather flowers? Clothing? Purses?)
probably not, but i honestly don’t see the appeal. most of those things can be shipped relatively flat. also, we can already go buy them in most stores, unlike a cool leather t-rex (which, additionally, couldn’t be flat packed).
like, i guess it would be cool to do it just to say you did it, but i think the final product would be of limited utility.
maybe i’m wrong though and this is the future of custom footwear!
Haha–you are probably right. But I suspect most of the things I make are going to be done just to say I did it! At least, the things that fall outside the core usages I have for the machine.
That is too cool. I love the fact that it teaches some basics of leather working for the build, especially the wet forming. Yea, it not on vogue right now, but it will come back.
