Made some leather coasters / hot pads with all that spare time I have hahaha

cowhides? i love those ol' school scissors, i have a few of them - do you work around a lot with leathers?
great thing about hk is you can get all the tools you want to go pro for cheap :) made some things enough to understand leather manufacturing
ahh nice - i've done dongguan several times, and rows of retail hides - the challenge is that is lacks audit compared to premier hides, so i still end up paying a lot more money to get that farm trail from Italy - but i like working with good leather. Lots of work though, shaving, thinning, specific adhesives, types of stitches..
