Hi guys,
Mircea here from Kron Leather Goods. This is my second making-of video of a notebook leather cover (SOUND ON!! ). Now with this crazy virus outbreak we need to stay indoors so I figured it would be nice if I share something with you.
So, you have here a free downloadable pattern for this cover in the video:
bit.ly/2UcH97c
If you'd like to support my work, my Etsy shop is here:
www.etsy.com/shop/KronLeather...
The pattern is optimized for the smallest and comfortable sized cover, when closed.
It features some nice and functional curves which are pretty easy to cut using a sharp utility knife.
The leather used is from Conceria Tempesti, a vegetable tanned, full grain leather with some high content of oils and waxes which give a nice aged look when used.
I recommend going with aprox. 1.6mm leather thickness like in the video, or 2mm for the back panel and 1mm for the pockets.
If you have any questions, feedback or virtually anything, please write your comments below. I'll gladly reply back!
Hope you like it and thank you for watching!!
Best wishes,
Mircea

@@kronleather A traveler's notebook cover (Wanderings, Sovereign Leather, Midori - which is now called Travelers Notebook) would be a good idea, especially considering the price of the commercial covers.

Have everything cut out going to finish it up soon! Using a Horween leather I believe it's a bit thinner but should still go together nicely. I'm struggling to find that same looking leather here in the U.S I love the rustic look of it!

Really like your videos! I am about to make one of these Field Note covers, but my field note pad is measure 97x138. How much wider do I have to make the back panel?

@kronleather 3 года назад

I think you can just add those 7 to 10mm to the length of the back piece. The moleskine notebooks I used are 14x9 cm

@dramione4ever472 Год назад

Really good Video. But I’m curious as to why the leather is waxed. Because other RU-vidrs either don’t use waxed leather or don’t mention it.

@TimWillYou Год назад

Me too

@kronleather Год назад

This was a vegetable tanned leather with a pull up effect(high content of waxes and oils) which was stored in a colder area. Because of this, the waxes migrated to the surface

@andrewhall2093 Год назад

I printed the pdf template but it is like the exact same size as my 3.5x5.5 notebook do you need to scale it up?

@kronleather Год назад

Hi, there is a check dimension there in the drawing. Please make sure that the measurement of that dimension is the same with the value there. No need to scale it up, it s 1:1 on A4 paper with no fit option

@johnnyc.5979 3 года назад

What's that white powder on the leather? Never seen that before.

@kronleather 3 года назад

That s wax. This leather is a highly oiled and waxed type and if not used or stored those waxes migrate to the surface. It s like the bloom on bridle leather

@DrChattan 3 года назад

He literally writes wax on it with his finger in the video. That should be a fairly big clue. I remember when I first saw a wax bloom on my stock whip. I thought it was mold 🤣
