@@mprleatherworks Hi Boet did Eskom just switch your lights on, you must live in a really shitty " Load Shedding" zone. The rest of us are only having 2 Hour blackouts 2 to 4 times a day. Cheers brother 😉😉😉😉Oops let me go make coffee before our zone is flipped off.

Esto también puede hacerse para llevar el portátil, también puedes hacer una cosa más con unas estructuras para mantener la forma puede sumergirlo en agua caliente sobre 80 grados para que el cuero se vuelva más duro y rígido.
