rhinez0r Report post Posted March 24, 2013 Hey everyone, first post here. I've been lurking for a while now, taking in all the wonderful information. I was hoping I could ask a rather silly question in the hopes that someone else has worked with the Springfield Wallet Interiors. I think I know how to put them together, but I need some clarification.. from what I understand: 1) Glue the top liner to the top of the tooling leather back 2) Glue the tab and sides of the divider 3) Glue the interior bottom & sides to the tooling back This should give 2 cavities for bills? Or should the divider be glued to the back of the interior? The back of the interior looks unfinished and rough.. Sorry for such a silly question Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Chief31794 Report post Posted March 24, 2013 (edited) The divider should not be glued to the back of the interior. I use these liners, they are inexpensive but they work well. If you want a more finished look inside, then cut a piece of pigskin the same color (brown or black) that's what they come in. It should cover the entire back of the wallet and then the other pieces are assembled on top of that, you can glue it as well, however, I don't glue any of the pieces. I assemble it with hand sewing cutoffs by putting a piece of thread through all of the holes at critical alignment locations and then lacing the wallet together. That requires me to punch the slits separately but I've never liked glue, rubber glue is just temporary and doesn't accomplish anything the threads won't and it is messy, you have to be very careful with it. If you're using contact cement, I've not had the greatest success getting all the pieces lined up perfectly before the contact cement locks on. If I sew a wallet (not very often, I like the laced look), then I glue the pieces and use contact cement so that the edges bond well. Hope that helps. Springfield also sells Chaylor Fenelli interiors that are really well made and require no assembly other than attaching them to the wallet back, they are made of calf skin and very nice but also somewhat pricey.

rhinez0r Report post Posted March 24, 2013 Chief - thanks for such a quick reply! I have some pigskin that I can use for the back, so I'll try that Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
