I bought this template and received it in the mail yesterday. And I just placed a order for 2 rolls of ur 10ft tyvek. Cant wait to get it to make one of these
Aaron, I know you don't remember me but my wife and I had a great time at your booth at the Sheridan trade show. We were there on Saturday morning and were going a little nuts over the sheer variety of stuff that you had for sale. I have looked at your website since then and I am even more impressed by the quantity and quality of merchandise you have for sale. I am also an Army veteran although my time in the service was much earlier than yours, I was on active duty from 1980 to 1984, in the Field Artillery. I run a leather craft workshop a couple a of times a month at a small veterans organization here where I live called the Veterans Art Center. I have actually been away from this for some time because of back problems, today will be my first time back and I will definitely be introducing the guys to your website.
Just got this template in the mail today, waiting on a 2-3oz side still but I’m glad I watched your video, I ended up having to buy a few more tools cuz of you...lol but I’m excited to make these, they’re very popular here so maybe I’ll make my money back on the tools.
Hi Aaron, great video and did I ever learn something great today. Tyvek Card pockets, OMG. I've made a few billfolds using the standard "V" leather patterns using leather skived as thin as I could and the pockets always look pregnant. using this process with Tyvek is great and the pockets look nice and flat. Thanks for the lesson.
i just completed my first money clipper went good thanks for the template and video i made it from croc print in the color of slate,trying to decide on a price lol thats always the toughest part for me.
Aaron. just ran into an issue with the sticky tape, i have discovered that if i put the tape directly on the edge of the cut lines the tape will "travel" as cards are being put in and taken out. i think a good way to remedy this is by leaving about 1 to 2 mm of space just under the line and then make the crease of the TYVEK slightly over the tape but still under the cut line. i am currently remaking the pocket i ran into this issue with. but out of curiosity and for future reference, is there another way to affix the tyvek without the use of the tape?
@@makersleathersupply1220 thanks for the response. I recently found d your channel. Very informative. I'm going to order at least two of your templates come next payday. BTW, Merry Christmas to you and yours.
Awesome teaching, What size or brand of Scalpel do you use? I purchased some scalpels from TSC and they only did one cutting out of the patterns. your scapprl olooks like it came from the operating room, Thanks for your teachings !!
Thanks for the video, I was wondering what size Tyvek you are using for your card pockets? I was wanting to order your Tyvek but wasn't for sure whether to buy the 2.25" or the 3.75" roll for card pocket on your wallets. Thanks for your help. Tammy
I love my template. I called the other day about the hole punch and talked to you. But make note that the beginner punch set ("Tandy") although it fits...it is beveled like cone shape. I cracked my template :(. Not happy...but I should have thought first...and not been so anxious to try...lol
Great video! I am wondering what kind of contact cement you use. It looks so different than mine. I use Barges. Yours looks so much easier to use! Thank you!
As to punching holes in leather prior to stitching... when does one use the wheel & awl, as in this video, vs the forks that I’ve seen in other videos? Or just personal preference at the time of the project?
Sir. I am curious as to your preference on the stching. Did you place the fold on the outer edges? Or inside side with the stictching? My video was a bit blurry.
@@makersleathersupply1220 thank you for the fast response. Hindsight while putting it together realized furnishing the foldes edge would not be attractive. The templates are incredible as are the videos. A great help for a self taught like myself
If I was using veg tan and not horween, at what point would I dye the leather..and also how many ounces leather for the liner, or could you use suede or canvas?
I'm only asking because you said you ran the liner through a splitter, and I do not have access to one. If I use the same 2-3oz I used for the pockets, and use it for the liner, would that work, or does it need to be even thinner
@@makersleathersupply1220 well maybe some time you can make a video on how to attach to waxy leather. I ordered a few sides of Horween Dublin and its gorgeous stuff but stubborn , stubborn to glue! Thanks for the info brother
Are there any plans to make this design for the interior with with snap on the outside like in your Biker wallet? Is that something you could do as well?
Oh man that would be excellent...thanks for taking the time to answer these questions and I will continue to support and shop at your website. Keep up the good work
Only time I've had people say there was a problem is when they were using either a tape that doesn't work well or a leather that tape doesn't like to stick to (oil tan is a good example of this).
I’m using your template, tape, tyvek and bridle leather. About $100 worth of stuff that doesn’t work. Didn’t work on veg tan with Fiebings Pro Die purchased from you as well. I don’t think tape works on any leather that is died.
