I have redone the leather on my EDs arms a while back - truly scary, but not so bad once you get going! The only thing I did differently was to cut the leather as ring shapes, rather than strips. I did this to avoid having any edges that could get caught in the joint when in motion. I cut the leather pieces as circles the same diameter as the joint opening and then used a belt-hole puncher to punch out the middle, to create a ring that could be inserted as one piece.

Yes, it's definitely better to have a pattern for each part.

What an excellent idea! I will try this for my next one. Fawkes, you are so right!
