great video. i love the idea of leaving the top and bottom long and trimming after stitching. i cut mine to the template size and both times it was just short so when i punched my stitching holes, it either barely caught or missed. this method will definitely cure that mistake. thank you for sharing.
Badass video !!!! honestly I have been pumped up for a new video . I have been watching and rewatching your old videos and I have been picking up on detail I had missed . I’m new to leather works so I am learning a lot from your videos . I know for a fact this channel is going to sky rocket the content you put out is high quality !!! Keep it up sending positive vibes from South Texas
Have you ever used the Tyvek for your card pockets? Aaron Heizer uses it on his channel, that’s where I got it. It’s paper thin and prevents cards from falling in between the two panels. Congratulations on the little one. Andrew in Omaha, NE
@@AttackLineLeather I don't see how your stitching method would make a difference. Personally I like the tyvek and the added security of not having to try and fish cards out.
@@kdpuffer1 You are right. Tyvek pockets do not affect sewing in any way. The sewing doesn't even go through the pockets. Just the slots cut through the leather aren't enough to make a good, functional wallet.
good morning congratulations for the beautiful wallet, it's fantastic can I ask you for info on the credit cards section? but if they are inserted at the top of the last compartment there is no danger that they will end up in the end without being able to recover them
Great question. The card slots work off of friction. I always recommend placing cards starting at the bottom and going up from there. I also suggest limiting the top three slots to one card and the bottom slots no more than 2. This will keep the cards slots from stretching. If a card does slip down somehow you should be able to retrieve it from the bottom slot.
Congrats on the young un. If you need some good 3/4 oz. vegtan leather, Frogjelly leather out there in Texas has good clean sides on sale for about $85.00 a hide. Big sides too at about 28 sq. ft. Great for wallets.
Hey there. I tell everyone that the boss stitcher is a solid way to do most leather projects. It doesnt stitch fine leathers well. It's faster than hand stitching but will give you a workout if you do belts. Overall an 8 out of 10
Holes punched are small, probably a 5mm. The whole body is 8x3 which will be longer than the wallet but it leaves room to trim. The slots are about 2.5in
The friction from the two pieces of leather as well as the cards prevent slipping. I always load cards from the bottom to top and never over stuff the slots. This will cause stretching
3 to 4 is just about right & will last a long time. I made 1 here the other day for a customer & used 6/7 oz. for the outside & 2/3 on the inside. Worked fine but was a bit stiff for a couple of weeks until he got it broke in a bit. He said he wanted a wallet that would last & that was what I made him. I still carry 1 this thickness that I made back in 1996. It just takes longer to get it softened up.
The slots create friction with the card and prevents the card from sliding down. Over stuffing the slots with multiple cards may, overtime, cause cards to slide down.
@@AttackLineLeather I'm searching RU-vid for credit card slot ideas and came across your video. I like the concept I'm contemplating on using it for my wife's wallet.
I was waiting for the slit pockets of what material he used for each pockets. I noticed he did not show that part. He just suddenly a long piece of leather for the back.
