Selvune Report post Posted March 11, 2022 (edited) Here is my first completed wallet ever made. well actually, minus a lighter cover, my first anything ever made with leather. Nothing crazy and I see several areas of improvement, but thought I would share. I did get a little crazy with the edging and the burnisher when ahead and coated the front side of the pockets.

MtlBiker Report post Posted March 11, 2022 You did really well! Good job! Is there a closure for the flap? What kind of leather did you use? How did you make the stitching holes? (A novice wants to know! ) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Is there a closure for the flap? What kind of leather did you use? How did you make the stitching holes? (A novice wants to know! ) Thanks! No, there is no closure, it is an open slot that lets someone slide paper money in, or cards if they wanted. I believe it was/is water buffalo, but not 100%. Came off a discount rack LOL. I used the 3.1 Tandy diamond chisels. Based on everything I am reading, I am going to keep using them for the time being, but most likely upgrade as they don't seem to be overly consistent and I struggle at times to get it thru the leather. But maybe it is user error Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
