A carpenter friend of mine asked me to make him a wallet for his hand scrapers similar to this.

He needed the wallet to hold 4 large scrapers, and one small one. I drew up the template, and cut out the pieces from a piece of veg tan, and dyed it with Fiebing's Saddle Tan oil dye.

While that was drying, I made 3 separator sleeves to go inside the wallet, to protect the individual scrapers from scratching against each other. I made the sleeves from canvas.

Once everything was dry, I finished the edges, installed all the hardware, stitched on the small rear pocket for the small scraper, and stitched the sleeves in/wallet together.

Great job doing this yourself, a fine project!

When I ordered some cabinet scrapers from Lie-Nielsen, they came in a fantastic, thick leather pouch.

It was one of the things that started my interest in leatherworking

Ohh I missed the link in your first sentence oops

My pouch is a bit darker and flatter, but that is it

Great job! Nice touch putting in the canvas sleeves. Those scrapers will be well protected.
