Contributing Member JLSleather Posted August 11, 2012 Contributing Member Report Posted August 11, 2012 Sorry this is taking me so long folks At one time, I had a .pdf file in the computer that showed the pieces full size and also how to go about it. No longer in there. &$%&@#%@ Not a problem, just re-write, and once it's all in there anyone that wants it can have a copy. Just print it out, cut out the paper patterns (or make longer lasting ones). THEORY is that if the pattern ever wears out, you just print another one. I say "THEORY" because that only works if you make sure it's been kept on the computer Fortunately, I got my nose rubbed in it early enough to avoid an issue! Working on it ... not so very far ott.

Contributing Member JLSleather Posted August 12, 2012 Contributing Member Report Posted August 12, 2012 No time to photo today, but this is pretty simple anyway. I may have mentioned, this takes some lining leather, a shears, a knife, some type of punch, and contact cement (you could use rubber cement, preference). And all the pattern pieces. So, I usually dig the stuff out, make (at least) 10 liners, and set them off to the side for when I need them. Course, that doesn't help when you get somebody who wants ONE wallet lined with some other color ... Quote "Observation is 9/10 of the law."

Members GlenH Posted August 12, 2012 Members Report Posted August 12, 2012 I can tool wallet backs for practice for months, but there's nothing to put in them. I don't have a sweing machine so the Chaylor Finielli inserts are not a possibility. Idealy, I'd like to make my own from calfskin. So, does anyone know of a book that covers the making of the insides, or a source for "Tandy-like" insides that have encough room for hand sewing or lacing. Chan Geer will be teaching a class on how to make your own wallet and billfold liners at the upcoming IFoLG Conference and Trade Show here in Nashville. Details are here.
