@chakotay - I did find them on Amazon, Tandy and SLC. I was just hoping maybe to find them locally as well. This way if I was in a pinch, maybe I could go down to the local hardware store. @TomE - Thanks for sharing the video. I found it super informative. Maybe someday I will get a draw guage but for now I’ll probably be sticking with a wooden block version. @Fredk and @chipster99 - Ill have to give those a try. Thanks for chiming in everyone. I think, I just need to get one and try a few options to see what works best.

I’m looking for a strap cutter tool but I would like to get one where the blades are easily available. Or at least where I have some options. I know many of you have recommended the Tandy strap cutter (wooden block) but in searching for the blades online, the only place I find them is at Tandy. Nothing wrong with Tandy, I just want to be able to source replacements quickly. Are there other blade options for that tool? Part number? Ive also seen other wooden block style cutters that use SDI style blades. These blades are easily available but curious if anyone has used one of these?

I've been admiring everyone's work for a long time but i have never posted anything. Today is the day though. I've done a few iterations of this design and finally settle on this. Its not perfect but I'm happy with the results and I know it will only get better from here. So i thought i share.

So I decided to start making my own wallet after finishing my starter kit I bought a while back. Right now I'm just piecing together what I believe I'm going to need. If any of you can shed some wisdom on how to do this that would be great. I bought some veg tan leather for my exterior (3-4oz) and I'm looking for a good interior leather to use. I was thinking a haircell lining leather. Also Im curious as to what kind of thread to use. What Im hoping to create is a three section wallet that has two sections for credit card slots and and an area for an ID card. I want to hand stitch the backing to the interior leather but not where it wraps around the edges. I'm thinking a straight stitch. I know I dont have it all figured out yet but this is where I'm at on my project. Thanks for any help you can give.
