I used pig skin from Tandy. I thought it's gonna be an easy job making the pockets that way...well, it wasn't ...lol...Once the cards are in, the wallet gets bulkier then i though (especially the second one).I might have to use a lighter leather for the inside .For both wallets i used same leather weight for the outside and the inside...5-6oz for the first one and 4-5oz for the second one. I just got a template made out of acrylic so now it's gonna be a bit easier to cut them and try few different pocket style without spending too much time on them

First you have to make sure that the prongs are parallel with each other(as immiketoo also mentioned)...most of te time they are spread out...so you end up marking the holes to far from each other. As far as the tool for making the holes goes, i use a small flat head screwdriver...similar in size with the width of the prongs. I have few of them for different prong sizes...some of them i had to file down to the size i wanted

These are 2 new wallets i made...pretty much same design but different sizes. First one is 7/4in closed and the second one is 6/3.5in closed. The bag is made out of 6-7oz nubuk leather that i had hanging around...it was more of an experiment but i am pretty happy with the outcome Any comments and critiques are more then welcomed !Thanks !

This is the same wallet design but only 6in long and 3.5in wide when folded...the leather used is a 5oz nubuck..For the next one i will probably change the pockets displacement (4 pockets on top of each other) and add a large zipper pocket on the other side.

No , it's just brown pig skin as lining...

The use of a center bar buckle is ideal in this set-up because eliminates the use of a belt keeper and the extra stitcing that comes with it.

8in x 8in when open, 2 large bill pockets and only 4 small card pockets. Initialy it was gonna be a "trucker wallet" with few large pockets, zipper and the whole 9 yards...but i got lazy again...lol...maybe next time. I used a 5oz chap leather for outside and inside so the wallet came out way to soft . One of these days i'll get it right !!!

Look up Kwikprint as far as machine goes..there are few more names out there but this seems to be very popular. It comes in 2 different base models, 25 and 86 i believe....plenty of clips on youtube demonstrating the process too. You can find the press on Ebay once in a while...same goes for the letter sets

Here is another wallet i made today ..again something simple and easy to put together(so i thought when i start making it). ..I only made one mistake on this one...the snaps(bought from Tandy ) took a bit more space then i tought and the cards don't fit as i want them to fit..apparrently size matters... The pockets are lined with pig skin, the leather used for the outside and the inside is 4-5oz .The wallet was stitched with the Cowboy CB4500 using #277 thread Critiques are more then welcomed

Wanted to make this simple wallet for some time now...I got my hands on some clips from OTB and here it is.Holds about 6 cards...3 in each pocket and ofcourse bills in the center. The line 24 skull snap is from Tandy I am working on another one, tri-fold type that will have an ID window. Oppinions and critiques are more then welcomed Thanks !

Is this "rope stitch" done with just one needle?...i've seen somebody else doing a similar stitch using raw hide thread and one needle but i didn't know what was called. It looks very nice !!!

I have a small clip on youtube making a padded collar...not the best quality pictures but it will give you an idea(just look up "mollossmaster". I will have to come up with a better video showing what goes into making one of these collars.

9-10 oz in double ply...at least . I make collars for larger dogs most of the time...80lb and over. Rarely use latigo...mostly bridle, double backs. Bellow is a youtube link of what i call "double" collar...some close -up shot

That is the fanciest agitation collar i've seen do far ... nice work !!!

Made of of 9oz leather(one 1.75in strap folded in two), solid brass hardware, cobra skin inlay, red 2-3oz upholstery leather trim.

Leather sheath made for a Strider SMF mimicking the large jimping characteristic to these knives...Even though is not posted in "Critique my work" critiques are more then welcome. The sheath is made out of 5-6oz leather and machine stitched A short video clip is posted on YouTube too for those of you interested in seeing more pics Thanks !

+1...lol...i got 3 of them and still look for another even though i don't need it...lol..but it might come in handy one day...lol...

Still learning for now but here is my best so far... i also posted a picture in "Critique my work" too .I don't have the courage yet to hand stitch anything else but left-overs...1 ply pieces of leather...lol...This one here is 5 stitches/inch and i am using #415 thread . I tried a straight line and also a curve...which i thought it's gonna be a bit more harder. I just got my hands on some linen and that's gonna be my next project . Any oppinions are more then welcome..especially critiques. Thank you !

Good eyes !!! That edge is actually the only one that's not finish..that's because i decided to trim it a bit more just before i took the picture. The wallet has bigger flaws then that...lol...I focused more on the pockets then anything else...i watched Kevin King's wallet tutorial , i went bought some pig skin and gave it a shot. There be more wallets coming ...lol...Thanks !

Thanks ! it's just a croc print...i wasn't that confident..lol...

First and second shot at wallets...second one was made after watching Kevin King's tutorial...Thanks Kevin !!! Not as easy as i thought...lol...messed up the corners on the black one...came out bulkier then i was hoping...but still happy with the result...lol...Oppinions and critiques are more then welcome Thank you !

I ask my customers to measure the dog's neck in the smallest part of it...tight ! ...never the old collar !!! The thickness of the collar plays an important role in sizing too . A 1ply collar , 20in from buckle to the hole has a different inside circumference than a 2ply collar measured the same way . The right size of the collar is measured when the collar is buckled up...not flat out on the table. If you have standard designs and use the same leather weight most of the time you can make yourself few collars(in one ply , 2 ply ....) from 15in all the way up to 27in and used them as guide. A custom collar should not have more then 3 holes for adjustment, 3/4in apart. Sometime i ask for pics of the dog and its weight ...i can pretty much guess the neck size within 1 or 2in..lol... Hope it helps

Just make one and see how it holds up ! that's the best way probably to find out. Put the DEE ring at the end of the collar and the the buckle..this way you might eliminate the need of a belt keeper.If you make it , just post the picture here and let us know if it works... Good luck !
