And a mistake. (My work table slipped away a little bit, and I changed the angle of my router a little bit) I tried to fill this with glue and wood dust, but I didn't get it deep enough so I sanded it away once dried. When the oil is completely dried, I will sand it down slightly and try to fix this better before the next layer of oil. 

Take a knife or a chisel and cut a shim (wedge) from a scrap of wood and glue in there.

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?

The gap is super small, it might look larger than what it is. And it did work awesome with wood glue and wood from sanding. But I didn't get it deep enough, I did fix another small defect on another thing I made, and instead of mixing wood with glue, I pushed down glue and put "saw dust" on top and pushed it down in the glue, and the result was really good.

But will keep your solution in mind if I would do other mistakes where it's larger.

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)

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.
