// WHY_LEARN_THIS?

Because leather smells great and lasts forever.

The Experiment: I asked ChatGPT to design a strict 24-hour crash course to learn Leathercraft. I stripped away the fluff. This is the raw data on how to go from Zero to Glitch in one day.

// THE_FIRST_HOUR

Most people quit in the first 45 minutes. Here is the exact starting instruction to survive:

"Saddle Stitch. Two needles, one thread. The strongest stitch."

// THE_AI_PROMPT

"Act as a world-class expert in Leathercraft. Create a strict, hour-by-hour schedule for a complete beginner to learn the basics in exactly 24 hours. Focus on practical application over theory. My constraint is Leather Scraps + Needles."

// THE_SCHEDULE

Timeframe Module Objective
Hour 0-2
Setup		 Foundation & Mechanics Saddle Stitch. Two needles, one thread. The strongest stitch.
Hour 2-6
The Grind		 Material Handling Learning how the material bends, breaks, or cuts.
Hour 6-12
Application		 Prototype Making a rough, ugly version first.
Hour 12-18
Debug		 Troubleshooting Pitfall Avoidance: Punching holes crooked. Measure twice, hammer once.
Hour 18-24
Mastery		 The Final Project Execute: Make a wallet that lasts 100 years
⚠️ HUMAN WARNING
Punching holes crooked. Measure twice, hammer once.
💡 PRO TIP
Burnish the edges. Slick wood + water makes raw edges look glass smooth.

// THE_GLITCH_TASK

To prove completion, I must execute this specific anomaly:

"Make a wallet that lasts 100 years"

// CONCLUSION

Can AI teach Leathercraft? It provided the map, but the Punching holes crooked. Measure twice, hammer once. was a real human struggle. The result? Learned enough to be dangerous.
