Such great wood working so far.  Extreme diligence in your designs and work.   

Being new, I've never heard of using a 'jig' for making a wallet so this is new and is making me curious.   Can someone point me to a video of how this is used? 

Thank you, now I have two different jigs to combine them for some constructions (I talked about it earlier in this thread) But the most common is to glue lining against exterior leather at 90 degrees. The reason is because let's say you have 1mm exterior and 0.5mm lining, when you fold your wallet, the the interior leather have to be shorter, which it can't because it's glued, then you get wrinkles at the fold, also in the beginning it will be hard to keep the wallet closed (which is no problem if you have it in a jeans pocket, but let's say a ladies wallet worn in a purse.

Here is an example, he glue bonded leather in this case (to remove stretch from the exterior is my guess) and then he will glue lining in place. But it would be the same if you glued let's say veg tan cow and a lining.

Update: Fileteuse handle and stand sanded and getting ebonized black (First coat is just applied and drying)

 

[Danne]

I did regret ebonizing Fileteuse, I didn't like the look. It was not that fun to sand it down...

Made a needle stand.

Not sure if you want more updates or not, but I made a holder for my edge paint bottles. I can't decide applicator. Brass or black. (Oil is still drying, hence the reason for the cloth)

Black, of course.  Brass leaves a brassy smell on your fingers.  Black looks cooler, too.  I've been wondering about those.  I'd like you give a review after using them.

Yes, and since my other tools from Ksblade is black, and I plan to buy other tools with Grenadilla wood, I think black will be best

edge applicators....I like the simple one from Tandy.  Nice work on holder.  Amazing how much a routered edge changes a simple block of wood to look fancy.

Yes those applicators look really good, but i'm so used to using a regular awl.

I do regret not buying a palm router with a plunge attachment instead of my larger plunge router, because it gets a little bit more complicated to route small pieces with that larger router.

A little update. the magnet holder in the photo isn't finished yet.

Not much, apart from testing some materials and small prototypes for things.

Thank you Bob,

The tool board is soon finished. The glulam board warped slightly, not much but I tried to figure out a way to keep it straight without cracking, so I combined it with a "hidden wall mount" solution I did from some alu square tube. Holes are oversized on edge pieces so it can expand and contract between summer and winter.

Tool board is finished. Now i'm just waiting for my new table top.

Stunning!

Thank you, I should have said almost finished though. There will be a holder for a hammer (black Hultaforts STFS) and also a holder for rulers. But haven't bought the hammer yet so I don't have the exact dimensions.

Very nice.  Love how the warmth of the wood comes out.

Thank you, I really like the contrast of beech wood against a darker wall.

An update with the new table top (Ikea Karlby 2.8m in beech wood veneer)

Also a tip (last photo) Ikea Karlby seems to be a quite good table top, and the price is good if you don't need more than 2.4m (Longer and you need to custom order them and quite expensive) The quality feels very good and it's 3mm veneer which makes it possible to sand and oil it again if it gets scratched or dirty from paint and such. But you will have to use a middle leg or reinforcement or it will sag over time, because it's veneer on chip board. I went for a middle leg and two "L-iron bars" 20x20x2mm the reason I also put the leg there is because I prefer to have a leg under my granite plate (It will answer a little better when you use it as a base for punching.)
