Master Craftsman, Josef Chow, a very patient knowledgeable man help me choose the type of leather which I am seeking , with his advise . Choose this piece of Vegetable Tanned Leather .



Armed with my home-made template , borrowed some tools from him . Within minutes , Josef helped me cut to size 23cm x 58cm . Marked all the hole punch locations and slots for my fountain pens.

Started punching 2mm holes and slicing slots for the fountain pen . Can you see the dark red line marked on my pointing finger ? It is the result of cutting the tough leather slowly in precision .



Taking occasional 10 minutes Coffee Break to relief my painful finger. Took almost 45 minutes just cutting up 20 little slots . Resulting in this .



My top 4 favourite Fountain Pens ~
~ Omas Ogiva Alba Teal #6 EF nib
~ Pilot Custom 742 #10 FA nib
~ Danitrio Cum Laude Mixed Brown Black Marbled Celluloid #6 EF nib
~ Noodlers' Konrad Flex nib

All slot in their rightful place.

I proceed to adding 5 personal customised DIY inserts A5 ~
~ Calendar Yearly with Month and daily journals
~ Bullet Journal
~ Dotted Training Schedule Planner
~ Expenses Account
~ 6 pockets folder together with credit card slots and a zip pocket





I would highly recommend this place for sourcing of Leather Pieces as Master Craftsman , Josef Chow , knowledgeable and yet there is no airs about him . Humble , friendly and approachable guy .
