To help it keep the air in, we massage the leather inside with seasoning, a kind of oily product that seeps into the pores (the outside of the skin, the epiderm, is on the inside of the pouch) and plugs the holes.
Now letting it the excedent seasoning flow out

Checking how air tight it is right now. By default the bagpipes pouch is not air tight, it does not really want you to play it

I'll add "Seeing like a state" to the book list. A bit long, and simplistic in its explanations, but asks some good questions on standardisation and planning
