    Don't know how I missed this thread. I placed an order Dec 12 for a skiving knife.

    Price reduced to $165.

    Nice work. It has a great shape. Any interior shots?

    Bump for the new year. Everything in post #4 is still available. The 10 Craftool USA stamps are a set. The Clay Miller is also still available by itself.

    Set of two Vergez Blanchard pricking irons. Used, approximately 4 years old. Good condition, may need to be touched up. 9/10 - 10 teeth, 9 teeth per inch 9/2 - 2 teeth, 9 per inch Asking $175 shipped in the USA.

    Nice tooling and stitching. I wouldn't go any thicker on the interior. Otherwise you may end up with it being too thick.

    Nice job for a first wallet. Getting the stitching to look right around the corners is always tough, try to tighten that up. Stitching is a little close to the edge. If you're going to burnish your edges try Hidepounder's tutorial.

    His site is down now. Here's a few more pics he sent me.

    Exactly what I want for a bench mounted stitching clam. This is a Moreau Clam. Do you own one? I tried to order one but he retired due to health problems.

    Awesome work.

    YinTx had a lot of good points there. Something catching my thread while stitching is about the most annoying thing on the planet. Or the object you're stitching moves or falls out of the clam because it's not tight enough.

    Thank you. For the pockets turned top edge I make a mark 1/2" and skive very thin, then use a straight edge and bone folder to fold 1/4" over and glue in place. The pockets top edge is then creased with an electric creasing iron. The interior is 2.5 oz Alran goatskin from France. I purchased it from Rocky Mountain Leather Supply.

    Thank you. The texture is cool, unlike any other leather I've used. I bought 1 sq ft of elephant for $60 but it looks like they don't currently offer 1 sq ft. http://store.rojeleather.com/elephant-leather-skins-and-hides/

    Thanks. No, just the posterboard as the background and the lights in my bathroom and an iPhone 7.

    I shot a couple photos using some posterboard to get some studio quality pics. Worked pretty good.
  18. thefanninator
    Nice.

    The finished bifold doesn't have a standard bill pocket but has plenty of room for bills behind the card panels. All the pockets have turned edges.
  20. thefanninator
    Elephant bifold in the works.
  21. thefanninator
    I'd go with colors in the style of Dia de los Muertos.
  22. thefanninator
    Really nice work.

    I've been tinkering with my Landis splitter trying to get it to split soft French goat. It's hit or miss but it worked well enough yesterday to do a fully lined 3 pocket cardholder. I hand skived the alligator to thin it down some and lined them with the .5mm blue goat. The larger blue goat pieces are split and lined with gray Split French goat from Talas Online. It's saddle stitched with Lin Cable, pricked with a Blanchard 9 iron. Edges are painted with Fenice. It measures 4.25 x 2.75.

    Fil au Chinois is the expensive stuff size 532 or 632. A little more affordable is Amy Roke L55 or L45 Tandy is now selling some thinner hemp thread. It's .55 mm. I haven't used this.
  25. thefanninator
    Nice work. I can't quite tell but on the exterior there appears to be a stitching groove. I'd go without the groove (if there is one) and a little thinner thread.
