Members LeatherLegion Posted May 21, 2013 Author Members Report Posted May 21, 2013 Lovely, can i ask what you use yo cut such clean straight lines and curves ?, this is my major problem . I just had some cutting dies made few months ago for the main pannels...some 6in /8in ,8in/8in rectangulars with round corners. The inside slits for the pockets , zipper and so on are done by hand. .For the add-on pieces i use regular round punches, end-strap punches and few "home-made" ones to achive whatever design . Sometimes it's just "free-hand"cutting...lol... For the tab you see on the long wallet, i used a 1.75in english point punch for the tips Thanks ! Quote

Ambassador abn Posted May 24, 2013 Ambassador Report Posted May 24, 2013 Great designs and fabulous attention to detail. Really, really nice. Quote
Members Basically Bob Posted May 24, 2013 Members Report Posted May 24, 2013 I really like the designs and your attention to detail. Curious about a couple of things .... are the slits, simply slits with no separate liners for each of them? Also is the stitching for decorative purposes only? Quote

Curious about a couple of things .... are the slits, simply slits with no separate liners for each of them? Also is the stitching for decorative purposes only? Each slit has it's own pocket ("bag") to stop the card from sliding all the way down...hence the stitching...and are made out of linning fabric . The only slit that doesn;t have that is the bottom one.I also used pig skin as liner to cover the card pockets on the back so the large pocket can be properly used Somebody posted here a drawing of how the pockets are put together.

Members cloverpatch Posted May 25, 2013 Members Report Posted May 25, 2013 Very clean work! If you have had dies made, does that mean that you have something like a 3-ton press for punching out the pieces? Your stitching is so clean, do you also have a sewing machine? Quote

I rent a 25 ton press by the hour and i do have few sewing machines. I think i mentioned in my previous posts the machines i am using for sewing and also the thread used. Quote
Members LeatherLegion Posted May 29, 2013 Author Members Report Posted May 29, 2013 Same design ..no zippered pocket Quote
Members David8386 Posted May 29, 2013 Members Report Posted May 29, 2013 Nice work, very clean looking. Thanks for posting them. David Quote
Members Char Posted May 31, 2013 Members Report Posted May 31, 2013 i love these.. They are absolutely perfect. Your perfectionism definitely shows, in a good way! Quote
Members LeatherLegion Posted June 13, 2013 Author Members Report Posted June 13, 2013 This is a 7in long biker wallet I just finished today. A bit different than my other wallets but pretty much same idea. There are 11 card pockets, 2 large bill pockets and a change zippered pocket. The wallets is made out on natural veg-tan, 4-5oz and air brushed...I still need some more practice but I am happy with the outcome. Pockets are stitched with #138 and the outside with #207 . Any suggestions and comments are more then welcome . Thanks ! Quote

Members LeatherLegion Posted June 15, 2013 Author Members Report Posted June 15, 2013 Nice looking wallets! Where did you get your cutting dies made? They were done here in a local shop "Economy Dies" Quote
Members LeatherLegion Posted June 22, 2013 Author Members Report Posted June 22, 2013 Here is another 7in long wallet. I just use mink oil on this one and left it out in the sun for few good hours and it darken more then I was expecting. The outside stitching is done with the Cowboy CB4500 using #135 bonded nylon .
