Members zzrguy Posted April 15, 2022 Members Report Posted April 15, 2022 (edited) So like it says this wallet was made in 3hr. Cut Stamped Dyed top coated and assembled. a close friend of our had a wallet failure and was leaving for vaction that day so i told her i could wipe up a wallet for her quick so she didnt have to deal with it allong with getting her family ready for a flite to Florida. Stamping came out nice as a little accent and her Dad was a NYC firefighter so the red accent was for Red lives matter for him. I need to learn the skive not shiving made it a little chunky and messed up my stitch line.Ill remake it when I got time and take time to skive and fit it better..

It's for making your boots black after you strip them and then wax polish is applied. Atleast that's what we did when I shined my boots everyday. Quote

I buffed it up and there were areas that you could see the leather as if no dye soaked in. I didn't see that till I sealed it. Quote
Members Resurgam3191 Posted April 25, 2022 Members Report Posted April 25, 2022 Really like the stitching iron pouch too. Nice Quote
Members JayEhl Posted April 28, 2022 Members Report Posted April 28, 2022 One of the other guys on the forum suggested how he rubs his projects with oil before applying dye. I can tell you it's made a difference for me and my projects. But I'm sure your gift is very pleasing, because you personally hand made it for them. Quote
