😬 The #artificial #human Imagine a future that's already well advanced, where we're not far from artificial humans with replicated artificial muscle fibers. Extremely interesting, and the technology isn't even that complex. What do you think about it? https://youtu.be/E1theCfcFsA?si=syeBjVE8PHkXhAtQ

Title: Leathercraft for Beginners – How to Work with One of Humanity’s Oldest Materials Leathercraft connects us with millennia of tradition – from ancient armor and saddles to wallets, sheaths, and belts. With just a few tools and some patience, you can shape, stamp, and dye leather into something uniquely yours. Here’s how to get started: 1. Choose the right leather. Start with vegetable-tanned leather – it’s firm, cuts cleanly, and takes tooling and dye beautifully. Thickness is measured in ounces: 4–5 oz is great for wallets, 7–9 oz for sheaths or belts. 2. Basic tools to begin with: - Sharp utility knife or rotary cutter - Swivel knife (for carving) - Edge beveler - Mallet and stamping tools - Burnisher (wood or bone) - Hole punch - Ruler and scratch awl You don’t need a full workshop – just a good workspace and solid lighting. 3. Cutting and patterning. Always trace your pattern on the flesh side with a scratch awl. Cut slowly with firm pressure. Use grid mats for accuracy and safety. 4. Tooling and stamping. Dampen the leather with a sponge before carving. Use your swivel knife to outline designs, then stamp textures or patterns with specialized tools and a mallet. Practice on scraps first! 5. Edge finishing makes the difference. Bevel the edge, wet slightly, and rub vigorously with a burnisher using gum tragacanth, beeswax, or saddle soap. A smooth edge feels pro. 6. Dyeing & sealing. Use water-based or alcohol dyes in multiple thin layers. Always test first. Seal with acrylic finish or natural oils for a lasting surface. 7. Stitching like a pro. Use two needles and waxed thread for a classic saddle stitch. Punch holes with a pricking iron or awl – keep spacing even. Don’t rush. Clean stitching makes the piece. 🎯 Pro Tip: Share your leatherwork on net-twin.de – from hand-tooled belts to engraved sheaths.

This is #Germany after 1945 – we've learned from the mistakes of the past and remembered the true nature of #humanity. The world can now take our example, and that makes me very happy. 😍🤩😍 https://youtube.com/shorts/CXqVZXwHz6g?si=C_1shec8m3BlWmvn
