Rolandranch Report post Posted November 28, 2018 (edited) Hello all! Here is a roper wallet (or long wallet) that I just finished for myself. Btw, my nickname is Nate in case you're confused. I needed to make myself a wallet so I could have some of my work with me when meeting potential customers. Also, my Cabela's wallet was falling apart. It is lined with Tandy's super soft pigskin. When I showed it to my dad, he said I should have stamped "A fool and his money are soon parted" on the inside flap... (I think I should have done that too considering how often I go to Tandy... ) Let me know what you think! Comments/critique always welcome. Thanks for looking! -Ryan Edited November 28, 2018 by Rolandranch Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I forgot to mention that I was inspired by your cell phone slip case. I really like the BW and sheridan mix. -Ryan Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I did the seeder with camo on a wallet for a friend and I really liked how it turned out so I did it to mine as well. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Jeff Thanks, Jeff! It's a screw-back concho with two screws. 7 hours ago, JLSleather said: And what model is that cowboy machine? Did ya manage ta stitch that wallet with it? 4500... Yep, all stitched by that machine. I'm surprised at how well it stitches thin leather. That inside flap is 3/4oz. -Ryan Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JLSleather Report post Posted December 2, 2018 Hmmm. The Cobra machine -- suposedly same machine -- would only waste time trying to sew that. Stitches would be far too loose. I really must get something ELSE. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Stitches would be far too loose. I really must get something ELSE. The saddle maker I am an apprentice for has a cobra machine. I've used it a bit and I like my cowboy better because of the tighter stitches and its ability to stitch thin leather. On 12/2/2018 at 12:58 PM, rodneywt1180b said: Beautiful work!

They're all craftool or craftool pros. Not the best quality for sure but the crispness comes from when I stamp the leather after I get it wet. If you stamp right after you wet the leather it will look mushy and soft but if you wait until the leather returns to its natural color (or looks dry) the stamping will come out clean and crisp. Hope this helps. On 12/9/2018 at 12:09 AM, Rbarleatherworks said: I love how you did your nick name but I am not sure how you did it... would you care to share? Thanks! That's how I sign my name so I just lightly signed the leather with a pencil and cut/beveled around the mark. -Ryan Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
