Ha love the idea! I'm currently looking into buying/making a stamp to put some kind of logo on my creations!

I used 2mm Veg tanned leather from Ebay! (this one) And yes, I did bevel and burnish it, it did wonders to the final piece!

Thanks everyone for the tips & comments! Will try them out next time! Made a small version as well this evening haha, I think I'm addicted already.

Hi! Made my first SD case yesterday. But I was wondering, is it possible to hide the stitching on the outside? I'm not sure if I like seeing it when the case is closed. Maybe it's just me idk. Thanks!

Haha, bought the tools I needed to complete my first little project. If it turns out I wanna keep doing this, I'll upgrade soon enough

Definitely! Thanks

Hey, again, thanks for all the info Hardrada/battlemunky! Just wanted to let everyone know that I've bought everything that I need (leather and tools)! Going on a vacation now and everything should arrive next month. Can't wait! Thanks for all the info everyone! Big help!

Ahhh I see! Thanks for all the info, gonna have a look later this evening! Holland is much more close to me, so that would be a great option indeed! I see! Did some more research myself and 2-3oz gets recommended a lot for wallets, so probably gonna go with the 3oz one as it doesn't need splitting. And thanks for the recommendation! Watching the video right now

Hey thanks a ton! Thats actually not a bad idea. Definitely gonna look into this. Brussels isn't that far away! Thanks for all the links! Still not sure where I'm going to buy from haha, choices choices choices One more question (Asked @Battlemunky too, but can't hurt to get some more opinions!), do you think this a good leather to start with (I've read that Buttero is popular), for SD cases and/or wallets? https://www.rmleathersupply.com/collections/vegetable-tanned/products/buttero-veg-tanned-leather-3oz-1-2mm-made-in-italy?variant=13786028867693 I was thinking of buying 2Square feet as I should be able to get a couple of cases/wallets out of that I think? Or should I go for a single shoulder? Also, should I split this leather or can I just keep the 1,2mm thickness? In other words, what is the most used thickness for projects like cases and wallets? Thanks again for all the info!

Thanks! One more question (SORRAY), do you think this a good leather to start with (I've read that Buttero is popular), for SD cases and/or wallets? https://www.rmleathersupply.com/collections/vegetable-tanned/products/buttero-veg-tanned-leather-3oz-1-2mm-made-in-italy?variant=13786028867693 I was thinking of buying 2Square feet as I should be able to get a couple of cases/wallets out of that I think?

Ahhh okay I see! Well guess I'll see how much my basket's value is after adding the most important tools, then I'll decide if I need a Scratch Awl haha And damn lol. That looks sick even with the tools that he used haha!

Thanks for the tips! I saw your comment and was just about to get rid of on old journal when I realized that the cover is from leather lol. So I took a nail, fork and some stuff I had laying around and tried to make one, just to see if I liked it. Well, I'm hooked!! lol. Doesn't look like much but loved every minute of it! Love your story, hope it works all out! Sounds like an awesome idea Thanks again!

Thank you so much for all the links! Very handy as I'm new to all of this and there is so much to choose from! About the Scratch Awl; can't I use the wing divider for this? Or am I seeing it wrong? Thanks again!!

Hey thanks! I feel welcome here already! Definitely gonna watch some more video's. Beside being very informative, they are also very relaxing to look at haha! Thank you so much for all the information! I'm probably gonna buy my tools in the next couple of days, can't wait! I'm from Belgium btw haha But don't really mind buying from RML, as it looks like everyone loves their stuff. And I can't seem to find good stores in Belgium anyway. Thanks again!!

Hi! So for months I've been debating if I would make the step to buy some leather-craft tools. I always wanted to make some SD memory cases for my friends and family but never really knew if it was something for me. Anyway, I'm gonna try it! I've made a list of tools that I think (Please correct me) are necessary/handy to complete this project. I don't want to buy too much, as I don't know if this will be something I'm gonna keep doing, but I also don't want to buy some crappy tools. Just some decent tools that get the job done. This is the SD case that I want to make: https://www.instagram.com/p/B0QpK3vnXRK/ These are the tools I think I need for this project: Edger tool/beveller Rotary cutter (Can I use a Utility knife?) Burnishing Slicker Leather Sewing Thread Sewing Needle Leather (??) Stitching awl My questions: Is this list complete or do I need to add/remove/change something? I want the same 'look' (aka thickness/color etc) as the example above. Can you recommend me some (decent) leather? Thanks a ton!
