Tinker, Thanks for the insight. Patterns are easy no that big of a deal. But you did confirm to me my thoughts on Tandy. But, you did give me a good idea on the different sizes of bills and pull out some various kinds and lay it on the pattern. simple but effective. Thanks for the youtube and ideas on leather supplier. Mike PS: you gave me some other ideas, I will take the tandy kits apart and measure the liner parts, I guess I was upset that the dimensions were so variable within the same kit. I also understand what you mean about the leather changing dimensions after being tooled for example.

Hello, new to the forum. I inherited from my father all his leather working tools, some date to the very early 1960's. So to put it nicely I'm starting from square 1. My question to the forum is about the quality of basic wallet or billfold kits from Tandy Leather. I purchase 4 kits with the idea that I could use them to make patterns. It seems like the measurements are all over the place, by as much as 1/16" . I'm a tool and die guy by trade. Do I need to relax or ??? Thanks Semo Ps the material that lining is made of seems to be mystery material not lining leather.
