How to make a miter joint on a turned edge wallet.

Recommended Posts

I am trying to upgrade my wallet making from cut edges to turned edge, I am having difficulty making the miter cuts. I can NOT find any videos on You Tube or leather working sites. I have searched every book I can find. You guys are my last hope, HELP PLEASE.

Hope this helps!

There is a simple technique for this, cutting both miters at the same time to make the seam perfect.
