Question
Hi, I am going to attempt to make my own bellows. What kind of material do you use? I know it has to be thin enough to fold and ,at the same time, be sturdy. Can you please advise me? Thank you..

Answer
Special materials are required for this purpose.  Leather is the best, but certain paper products are very satisfactory.  You can buy the products you need from any clock materials house, (Merritt's, Timesavers, Empire Clock, Ronell Clocks, etc.).  Regards WJP
