Hi, thank you very much. IMHO This is definitely not the best project to strike up an acquaintance with leatherworking. There are couple of videos in youtube from japan leatherworker describing procedure step-by step. Let me know if you fail to find them, I'll search them for you. The keyitem all this - a mould for gluing the round zipper. Like this: http://www.lzpattern.com/Leather-tools/leathercraft-tools-zipper-installing-mold-mould It is a bit costly here, that is why I made such mould myself.

Here is another project: vintage-looking long zipper wallet. The most unpleasant and depressing part of the work is gluing in the round zipper. I use handmade mould from plywood to attach a zipper. To those who can attach zipper without any additional fittings - my respect! and envy...

Hi Tom, thank you. like this: 2 rows from top but not till the bottom

Hi, plinkercases, thank you. Yesterday I finished another tester of cardholder/front pocket wallet. in next revisions will make some changes in sizing so money could fit in pockets - now it's only for cards.

Thank you so much for givving me direction! I've givven up in despair to get to the bottom of this technique myself. *went to study french binding/rolled edge*

Good day to everyone. Does anyone know or have ideas how to build this? I mean how to get this edge. I've got an idea that this should look like as follows this (cut avay side view) am I digging in right direction? will appreciate your ideas

Wallet from saffiano leather. Built as tester. So far see the following pros: no need to finish this leather, surface is not exposed to scraches - very rugged, does not absorb water. Cons: a bit more difficult in work (cutting, splitting...), looks kinda as artificial leather... Regarding dificulty of work: I use skiving machine to split leather pieces. This machine uses ordinary razor blades for safety rasors. So I needed to replaced blades 4 times more frequently in comparisson with splitting veg tanned leather.

Thank you very much. Let's keep going: passport/driving licence / card holder. leather - 4oz (1.5-1.6mm) Thread - 0.5mm Edge - Kenda Farben Orly

Keep on sharing my works with you. This one is also from horse leather - avancorpo. this time black, with pocket for coins.

thanks to all for appreciation of my work. I've stollen peeped this design from one of true masters. this is all 100% hand stiching.

Agree on all points with bikermutt07. just one small remark: bracelets, collars and keychains in 99% might require hardware stuff like buckles, chains, rivets etc. I started with passport covers: here you need a square piece of leather and thread.

Here is my another project. Wallet from horse leather (Full grain) - avancorpo. Very pleasant leather to work with.

Hi Danne, thanks. Here is my instagramm account. Please follow https://www.instagram.com/alexanderandreev7963/

I've got this one. not from this seller but this type. https://www.ebay.com/itm/Craft-Leather-Paring-Machine-Edge-Skiving-Machine-Leather-Splitter-Skiver-Blade/292145007695?hash=item4405330c4f:g:RocAAOSwOkFZisiF for this price it does it's job. with this device I fully splitted 12mm*20mm leather pieces.

Thanks for your kind words. This inspires optimism and motivation for further development!

Hi dear friends, Recently I've finished my backpack. So I just want to share it with you. It took me almost one month to do this project. I used to do this after my day work. Best regards, Alex
