I've been looking around on unrelated interests and looking into leather traveller notebook covers and other leather based stationery products. On reddit I saw a photo of a few made by one guy. Simple cut pieces with holes punched in certain places and curved corners cut. Very basic.
My curiosity was aroused so I saw leather scraps A2 sized on amazon and got wondering. What do I need to know?
I'm guessing since the TN covers are just rectangular leather pieces with holes for elastic that holds the insert notebooks that is only need a few tools. Cutting mat, sharp knife / craft knife and an awl for making holes. What leather to use? I own two such covers from two different companies, they have different leathers, one thicker and stiffer than the other by a little margin.
Any suggestions? Tools, leather grade/weight, sources of leather, etc.
