Members Stetson912 Posted January 28, 2018 Members Report Posted January 28, 2018 It's cool seeing what people classify as wallets. All the different designs n such. Quote

Do you put heavier leather under the 3 oz when stamping? I put a layer of 1 oz on the back of the tooled section after I was done dyeing, antiquing, etc. It still has come out a lot thicker than I wanted, so a bit much to carry around in the front pocket for my tastes. "T" pocket design might help here for the future, but wanted to try one with a full pocket design.

Quote I'm not paying 80 bucks for a belt!!! It's a strip of leather. How hard could it be? 4 years and 3 grand later.... I have a belt I can finally live with. Stitching is like gravy, it's only great if you make it every day. From Texas but in Bossier City, Louisiana.

Oh, it looks just like the ocean blue I got from NStarleather. My mistake. Quote I'm not paying 80 bucks for a belt!!! It's a strip of leather. How hard could it be? 4 years and 3 grand later....

Members thefanninator Posted January 30, 2018 Members Report Posted January 30, 2018 I'm carrying this right now. Marine French goat with navy alligator pockets. It's fully lined with goat split to .5mm. Fenice painted edges and I restitched it with Yellow Lin Cable. Quote http://www.instagram.com/fannintexas/

Members Dun Posted January 30, 2018 Members Report Posted January 30, 2018 Well...we'll see how this turns out It's inspired by rare&sundry's bifold style Quote
Members Deryk Posted January 30, 2018 Members Report Posted January 30, 2018 I have only made maybe 6 wallets in my life...made 2 this weekend. The green one needs the new right sized snaps i ordered yesterday re set and burnished. Quote

The green one needs the new right sized snaps i ordered yesterday re set and burnished. The long wallet looks good but one thing I noticed is the middle section of pockets needs to be trimmed a little to make the edges even. The second pocket from the top is really sticking out. I would then burnish the edges as well. Quote Every day you learn something is a good day. If you don't learn something every day, was it worth waking up for?

Then after I attach to the center section I can get them cut nice and flush so you can get a good edge and burnish. 44 minutes ago, Deryk said: I have only made maybe 6 wallets in my life...made 2 this weekend.

Members Petewon Posted January 31, 2018 Members Report Posted January 31, 2018 (edited) Here's a couple of mine from a while back. I've not had the chance to do anything for a good while now and hoping to get back into it soon. Edited January 31, 2018 by Petewon Quote

I am so new to this Quote

How do you make that snap ? I am so new to this Hi, the edge creaser I used is the Wuta one shown in the first image. Its 1.5mm which i find works for most of my stuff. The snap is just a really thin skived piece of leather glued around a brass snap. Quite tricky that one. Quote
Members Stetson912 Posted January 31, 2018 Members Report Posted January 31, 2018 @Petewon very nice work. I'd like to see your construction methods on those. Watch straps are beyond me at the moment haha. Also, when setting that snap with the leather covering, does the setter damage the leather? Or do you put something over it to protect it? Quote
Members Brown64 Posted February 2, 2018 Members Report Posted February 2, 2018 One of the last wallets I did. Quote

Thanks I've been through a few different processes with watch straps and finally settled on one I'm happy with..... for now :). I used to construct the back, padding and front of the strap before cutting the shape. I find it much easier to cut the shape for the bottom, then add the padding and top and use the shape of the pre cut bottom as a guide to cut around. Very tricky to explain. And yes, for the snaps I use a thick bit of leather over the setter so it doesn't damage the leather covered snap. Quote

Members alienman32 Posted February 2, 2018 Members Report Posted February 2, 2018 here's my version of the sketch wallet. i saw the sketch wallet on Instagram and decided to make myself one. It's a hassle to carry a full sized sketchbook everywhere so i made this one to for quick doodles or notes when I'm out and about. Quote
Members OLDNSLOW Posted February 2, 2018 Members Report Posted February 2, 2018 Petewon, I am interested in knowing what type of cutting tool that is, thanks Quote

Is it tooled and antiqued only, or did you use dye or paint to bring out the details?
