    +1 on the double loops...works great with the design. A square lock would have been my choice though

    www.sima-prague.com. Try to contact him through his web-site . I follow him on instagram ( simaprague) and i saw the post few days ago...then i remember you asking about that style on the forum.

    Get yourself a set of round corner punches like this one and you'll save a lot of time .

    Here is a picture of the pocket open and the flap that secures the small items inside it...instead of the zipper

    I can probably mail you a plastic template that i can cut with my clicker dies as i don't have a pdf file ...or any kind of file that i can email you

    It's a flap that covers the pocket and secure change or smaller items when the wallet is closed . In the past i used to put a zipper on that pocket. I will take a picture from a better angle if you want

    If you are looking for diamond chisels take a look at this guys...under $200 shipped http://www.crimsonhides.com/craft-tools.html Here is a review of those particular irons too

    You might want to reconsider the name , as this particular style is not called "zulu" . The buckle ,on the other hand ,is used for "Nato" or "Zulu" straps . Nice straps regardless...what's the spi and the thread you used ?

    I use 9-10 oz for both the top and the bottom... so it's easier to burnish the edges after bevel them . There are few treads here regarding burnishing edges. If you want to fold the edges in , use some softer 4oz leather , cut it twice the needed width and fold the edges all the way to the center ...this way you'll and up with a 6oz strip as a top accent . I use this technique to make the padding for my padded collars...posted some picture in "Other Specialties" Bellow is pictured a collar made out of 9-10 oz ...top and bottom strap. I beveled the edges using a cheap #2 beveler from Tandy, dyed them in black , burnished using a felt pad in a dremmel at medium/high speed and then applied some bees wax followed by some more burnishing

    Those are called "boot eyelethooks" ...as far as i remember i bought them on-line long time ago for a different project , but it works great as a chain attachment on wallets

    Haven't made one of these in a long time. 1.75in wide , 9-10oz black bridle , white crock print inlay , #277 bonded nylon thread , sewn with a Cowboy CB4500. As always, any comments or critiques are more than welcome

    Nice and clean!! What;s the spi and thread thickness you used?

    I used a 200 watts heating element in my unit and it worked without any issues. I am using 100 watts now and it does the job. You don't want to burn the leather . It doesn't take a lot of heat to leave a nice impression...at least from my experience

    Inside and outside is 4oz leather Here is a 7in version

    I have a friend of mine , machinist, that does a lot of work for me.same guy that makes my small hot stamping units. There are few other guys interested in the plate , so i might get few of them done at once and offer them for sale

    The wallet is made out 4-5oz veg-tan....both outside and inside. I am only using the "S" point needle for everything i make . Thanks !!!!

    I am using a left presser foot for most of my work...if not for everything i made so far . I had to "shave" off the feed dog a bit to work with a custom made plate that has a narrower slot. This way the lighter materials don't "sink" as much in it. Also the new plate doesn't hang over the edge of the arm like the original one ...that allows me a bit more clearance when working on wallets .There are few pics in my gallery here showing that

    I am using 794S , size #23 needles for #138 thread with my CB4500 . Works great on my wallets ...you can see it bellow.
