Measurements For This Wallet

[ozhank]

I have been looking for a replacement wallet for some time, and this one seems to be suitable. However I am having problems getting the dimensions correct when printing onto A4 paper not Letter (11 x 14).

If someone has made one or knows dimensions or even of a better wallet, I would be most appreciative.

In the bottom right hand corner of the blueprint it gives the dimensions as 3.5" x4.5". It would seem to be the closed dimensions so you're looking at 3.5" tall x 9" wide for part D, where the 3.5" is measured from the top to the cutaway part (if that makes sense.

If you can't get the printout to scale right and don't want to redraw/rescale it yourself you might want to check out the Patterns and Templates section of this forum: http://leatherworker.net/forum/index.php?showforum=9

There are a few wallet patterns there. This one has instructions, pattern, and isn't too far off from what you're looking at: http://leatherworker.net/forum/index.php?showtopic=54776&page=1

Thanks for those pointers. Returning to leatherwork after a long time away raising family and surviving. Taking it pretty easy after some operations, and another enforced layoff coming, so will be able to sit and make some things.

Figured out a way to get the cutting templates. Using Gimp, scaled images to the suggested width, then printed out, which gave me the correct width and all the marking and cutting lines. I will do a test, and if it all works out exactly, I will share the correctly scaled images back here.
