Members Jimbob Posted February 8, 2011 Members Report Posted February 8, 2011 Hello James, Sorry for the slow reply - didn't see this until just now, and the lack of explanation about that. The tutorial mainly focused on making the interior of the wallet. Yes, that is the liner for the cover. It's slightly smaller, because it is attached to the cover on the inside while it is folded. The smaller turning radius for the lining at the spine of the cover results in a smaller piece required to cover the inside. Hope this makes sense... if not, fire one back and we'll figger it out. Kate Here is a second wallet I made with your PDF/tutorial....it is for a friend in Germany, he is a pro airbrusher and will put all his money he makes with his great art work. Hope you like it! If you ever need anything, let me know....I have some "connections" to Germany, haha....

Members flynscot Posted February 10, 2011 Members Report Posted February 10, 2011 Hi Kate-- Question: Whay type of adhesive/glue do you use on these? Quote
Members Jimbob Posted February 11, 2011 Members Report Posted February 11, 2011 Hi Kate-- Question: Whay type of adhesive/glue do you use on these? Flyscot... Since Kate must be busy I let you know what I did use...as a adhesive/glue.... Barge leather cement works best, it will be still flexible but also lets you attach the liner to the outside part permanently!! There are people using the almighty 3M spray glue out of the can....there are different numbers, I think what you need is 44, 74 or 77 is for foam....this stuff is expensive too. If you order from STleather, you get the Barger fairly cheap!! Good to know that there are people out there liking Italien bikes....me tooo!!!! Bella Italia!! I can just picture these Laverda's, Ducati's, Moto Guzzi's and all the MV Augustas...ohhhhh these Italiens....!!! haha....had some of them and still dream of most of them.....!! And of course an old Beemer been in my garage several times too....I guess I like em all!! I'll drink a dark beer to you....a Bavarian dark beer!!! Ok, back to the leather work.....if you need any help, info or just plain BS....shoot me a mail!

Members CitizenKate Posted February 11, 2011 Author Members Report Posted February 11, 2011 Heheh! Sorry, I was on the site yesterday doing admin stuff but didn't see your question until just now... I use either rubber cement or contact cement (which is what Barge's is). Kate Quote

Members McJeep Posted December 6, 2011 Members Report Posted December 6, 2011 Quick question Kate - what's your preferred leather weight for the outer cover to allow for some decent tooling? Quote "I gotta have more cowbell!" Cristopher Walken - SNL
