Thank you so much for making this very informative video!! Wow! Someday, I hope I can sew as fast as you can! (Lol, yes-I know the video was sped up!) I’m subscribing!!!
Nice. Maybe add one or two straps/strips from leather or elastic. One for the bottom to keep papers tuck and one for the back when you flip over the papers to keep from flying around.
This is infinitely way BETTER than that stupidly-designed Hitchhiker wallet from Rustic Heirloom. That thing's not even wide enough to accommodate the width of a dollar. You'd think it was crafted by an IDIOT who doesn't know how to use a simple ruler!
Im a tattoo artist that just started to dabble in leatherwork. When pulling long Lines on a tattoo I was told to ”lock” my wrist and use my hole arm to get a straight even line. I found that the same applies when cutting longer pieces of leather. Thx for the video 😊
@Theleathercraftacademy, what types of leather and weights are best for a nice flexible gusset? I want to add a gusset to a 3oz pocket protector. Thx :D
Disagree on use of clips. Some of us hate synthetic glue because it produces an edge which is cosmetically unappealing. Largely because it blocks dye creating shiny light spots. Granted if you're using chrome tanned leather you're likely employing acrylic paint for the edges and it won't matter anyway. But if your crafting a product with veg tanned leather, you want water based adhesive because it allows dye through and burnishes much better. Sadly, it also takes longer to dry, hence the use of clips. Personally I have all my clips backed with leather strips so they don't leave indentations. I only use Barge cement on chrome tanned projects and when I'm attaching non leather items like zippers or plastic ID windows. Good luck!
Can I laser cut silicone rubber stamp and use that for hot foil stamping (Silicone rubber is a laser safe material, and is a material that can get heated up from the press and often used in hot foil stamping, from my understanding). Because I am doing a lot of custom short-run items and looking for simple way to make my dies and merge it with hot foil stamping. Thank you!
Do you ever tool anything into your leather cigar cases? I was wondering how I could tool an initial in the cover piece and still wet from without messing up the tooling. Any suggestions? Love your videos ,nice work.thank you for sharing
The machine makes it possible to dose pressure more precisely, but it's also a question of habit: it's easy enough to apply snaps by hand if you don't have a machine.
