A classic bifold made with Himalayan crocodile leather
In this video I make a classic leather bifold wallet using Himalayn crocodile leather in a matte finish. For the interior of the wallet I use some orange vegetable tanned Buttero leather giving it a bright look. For the cash pocket I use a thin french calfskin leather which keeps the wallet thin and makes it very practical.
Materials Used:
Himalayan crocodile leather
Buttero vegetable tanned leather interior (1mm and 0.5mm thick)
Baranil French calfskin leather cash pocket divider (0.5mm thick)
Fil au Chinois Lin Cable 632 linen thread (0.51mm)
Vernis edge paint
Paraffin wax/Beeswax mix
Leathercraft cement
Contact cement

You know, I've watched hundred and hundred of videos about leathercrafting. I love clean projects and micrometric precision. And you are the best, you are in an other dimension. You really impressed me. You care about every little detail and operation, even the way you scratch the leather is surgeon level. Everything is so straight in this video, the way you show us the panels and recorded the video... I' m sure you struggle sometimes in your daily life with a such amount of perfectionism 😅 You have an industrial precision in your human hands, this is what 99% of leathercrafters don't have. I just watched your instagram and the consistency of your stitching is outstanding. It's a shame you don't have an online shop. You are brillant. Keep going, this is your way.

Awesome tutorial! Quick question, when you are punching both sides how do you keep the edges flush after stitching? Since the trimming happens before glueing everything together. Is sanding the only option in this case?

@TeranAtelier 8 месяцев назад

Thanks! All the alignment happens when you stick the two halves together with contact cement. Using needles placed in the corner stitching holes helps a lot with this alignment. After stitching the edge you will need to sand the edges to clean up any minor imperfections along the edge.

@TeranAtelier 2 года назад

No problem! The pattern has been designed for A4 paper however it will still print on 'Letter' paper but with the top and bottom borders missing. Check that your printer is set to 'Actual Size' or '100% Scaling' and it should print to scale.

@davidwagner6859 Год назад

Question, how do you know where to cut the pocket edges at? Is that the solid line on your pattern? Do you cut to dotted outlines then trim to the solid lines? Thanks for helping a beginner, awesome video!

@TeranAtelier Год назад

Thanks! In my designs the innermost dotted line is the stitching line, the middle continuous line is the final project outline, and the outside broken line is some extra 3mm trim allowance. Trimming after gluing adds an extra step but will give you straighter and cleaner edges to work with for edge finishing. It is optional but recommended.

9:22 Am I thinking about this wrong? If you chisel in the stitching holes with a Diamond stitching iron from the face of both halves, then you sandwich those halves together, so the punched sides are facing away from each other, won't the diamond shapes be facing opposite directions? The way you have it laid out, the top hole of the orange will angle into the wallet towards the center, but the top hole of the white will angle away from the center towards the edge. So those holes can never really line up well?

@TeranAtelier Год назад

The slanted shape of the holes on the two pieces will make an 'x' where they intersect. This is fine and your needle will pass through the center of the 'x'. When chiselling the holes, the hole centers must line up or it will not work. I have made a video showing the steps to this method ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-GxPb19fvFVU.html

@jimandrews89 Год назад

How reliable is tucking and gluing the thread? I see so many people just fuse the nylon thread. Not many that do it this way with the glue and linin thread. Is there a reason you chose that thread and method of locking it in?

@TeranAtelier Год назад

Melting the ends thread only works with polyester/nylon thread and even then can end up looking poor if not well hidden. Linen thread does not melt so it it is locked in place with a combination of the waxing of thread, gluing the tips and tucking it back into the hole to hide the tip. This method works quite well and the thread will not come off if done properly.

@prakashp3070 Год назад

Hi! Thanks so much for this. Question: How (and when) do you stitch that small center section of the exterior?

@TeranAtelier Год назад

Hi, the center-bottom part is stitched before joining the internal and external halves together when you have already planned the positions of the stitching holes. This is an optional step and most crafters do not stitch across the bottom or remove the bottom 'square' from the inside panel and then are only required to stitch across the bottom of the exterior panel.

@TeranAtelier 2 года назад

It is a bit hard to get used to if you have previously only used polyester. The fact that is so solid and round is the best part of it as it gives very neat looking stitches. I recommend using a small needle like a John James #4 and before threading it through a needle, hammer down the end flat and it will easily slip through. Also make sure that you wax the thread before stitching and also midway when stitching long edges.

@pequodexpress 3 года назад

What are your thoughts on using the the heated crease line for your stitching guide instead of using the wing dividers?

@TeranAtelier 3 года назад

I think there are two issues with that. First is that the crease lines would be bit too close to the edge of the leather for my liking, an FN3 creaser might help for this. Second is the order, after stitching you should be hammering down your stitches which would flatten out any creasing you have done. I have seen someone use an adjustable edge creaser to make an extra crease line for stitching, that seems to be a good idea.

Thanks! I do my best to use as much of a skin as possible. At the time there was not any smaller crocodiles skins available so I had to settle with one larger than I needed.

But generally, can you make a (nice) watch strap from any part of a skin? Considering for example a crocodile and a stingray - is there a difference because of the pattern? Is it hard to choose where to cut the crocodile skin for the watch strap so that it has a nice structure?

@TeranAtelier 3 года назад

@@lukasbejcek8841 Yes I started wearing my watch after. It is always fun to choose skins and imagine how each project might look. Any part of the skin could be used but they may have very different looks and would depend on personal preference. It is important that it is not too thick so you can still get any contouring to show up on the top surface otherwise it might be a bit too flat. For scaled skins like crocodile is really important to plan both sections so that they are mirrored and look balanced across the watch, you definitely want the the scales to be going in the same direction and be similar sized. For stingray you just need to match the size of nodules or if you want the 'diamond' part on both straps you need to use two skins which wastes a lot of leather.

@@TeranAtelier thank, can u add long wallet video with pdf files ? ❤️ and one question: what mm need punches, 3.38? this hole distance?

@TeranAtelier 3 года назад

@@musichall190 I will try to do a long wallet in future. Yes the spacing I used in the pattern was for 3.38mm pricking irons, you can still use the pattern with a different spacing, you just have to ignore the 3.38mm stitches.

How thick is the Himalayan crocodile leather??

@TeranAtelier 2 месяца назад

The skin I have is around 1-1.5mm thick. Crocodile can be skived to make it thinner but the process is more difficult than your average leather.

Do you have a link for your heated logo press? I have something very similar and am interested to see whether I can use a logo with mine, or if I'm limited to text.

@TeranAtelier 3 года назад

You should be able to use logo stamps on all presses. If you have t-slot letter holder, you should be either able to put the stamp in the letter slot if small enough or can purchase a different holder suitable for larger stamps. I could not find my press any more but it is similar to this one and has a hole in the heating pad that you can bolt on your stamp. www.aliexpress.com/item/32767752810.html The press is very cheap and simple but it is doing the job, I will probably upgrade in future to something better.

@@TeranAtelier You've made me blow the dust off my Chinese press to see if I can make more progress than last time I tried. Does 190C seem like a good pressing temp? My tests say yes. I now need to create some kind of template so that I can line everything up properly for different projects. Any ideas?

@TeranAtelier 3 года назад

@@pequodexpress I use around 100C for 2-3 seconds for stamping vegetable tan or it will burn, it may also depend on how long you apply your stamp for. 190C sounds high but it might be fine if you are using it for chrome tan. I found using one of those positioning sliders has helped a lot for alignment. I normally align it using my paper pattern then switch out the paper for leather.
