Making a Leather Billfold Wallet 

I’ve noticed how crappy wallets are at stores now. The everyday big batch, off-shore made ones. I appreciate quality and the workmanship. Every wallet is not created equal

You work smart, not hard. I love how efficient you are with the application of glue to using that walking foot machine. A lot of great tips in this video. Thanks very much!

Man you freaking rock. I got into leather craft because of you

I love that you had ole Hank playing while you worked

Very nice Billfold Wallet Parker.You do some great work and your wife is a big help.Thanks for the video.

I'm always impressed with the skill and care that you take to make your stuff. Great job again.

Después de ver tantos videos de billeteras cocidas a mano por fin un vídeo de un valiente y además talentoso que las cosa a máquina. Quedaron hermosas felicitaciones.

l like thes . I i'm from Saudi Arabia🇸🇦😘

I ordered my pro stitch master after your last video and got it in a couple days later. Been playing with it all weekend getting everything dialed in for it first project

It’s realy too nice...

Wow, what a masterpiece! I like how u show the steps 1 by 1 to us, its kinda relaxing therapy. I'm using COACH as my wallet, its kinda boring sometimes actually.

Nice work. I enjoy watching your videos everytime I watch your videos it gets me pumped to try different stuff other then firefighter gear.

I got one in black for Christmas, I love it!!!

С наилучшими пожеланиями.🤗🤝

nice work

Beautiful wallet, what type of glue are you using in that squeeze bottle? I'm looking for something reliable but will help speed up the process a bit more with application

I love this style thanks

I ordered my #55 in brown a few days ago and I cant wait to get it!

Super 👍

OOOOOOOOHHHHHH that b-roll at 14:50! Killing it dude, love the #55!

This is so rad! It’s cool to see people like you in m home state🤙

Excellent work 👌👌

Buen trabajo.saludos desde México.d.f.city

I'm the leather stitch man for the Redwing shoe boots and shoes in my town I'm trying to further my leatherman skills love yalls videos

why is there a half circle cutout on the bottom of the inside cash panel? only design or has a function for better folding?

So much cheating going on here lol. Punches, sewing machines... at what point isn't this handmade anymore? Don't get me wrong, its a very efficient.

About long did it take for you to be profitable and do this full time?

@stockandbarrel Can you make more beginner focused videos for people like myself who love what you do but are a bit intimidated starting out, Austen

nice

Who makes that clicker die press? It's a nice looking tool and would like to purchase one.

Ļoti labs vidio!

What thickness leather did you use? It seems it is 3-4 ounce leather ?

Machine stitching somewhat takes away a bit of that magic...but I guess you make a lot of those wallets and hand stitching would be too time-consuming. A great product.

You are a Genious!!!

Please so many wallet photos.I want to one wallet

Enjoyed the video! The new Tandy sewing machine, will you demo the thickness of leather it will sew?

Hello, I am interested in buying one of your wallets online, I wonder how long it will take to be ship and will you have Black Friday offers?

Very gud man ya!!!🤔🤔🤔

Hi, I really like your videos and I want to try to make a few wallets like this for me and as presents for my best friends. The design that I have in mind for myself is a little bit different and I would try to make the rest custom made. It would really help me out if you told me how thick the leather you’re using is (preferably in milimeters, because I have no clue what ounces are) and recomend some beginner tools and where to buy them. I was having a look on amazon (the german one because I’m from Slovenia) the other day and they sell some ”scrap” leather by kilograms that are in ruff squares of 11.7 x 16.5 inches (those are leftovers from a shoe company) the price is around 23€ per kilogram or about 10€ per pound of leather and the thickness is 0.9 to 1.2 mm. I don’t want to go all professional and I don’t mind doing everything by hand, but the price differences for these tools are weird to me, you can buy a set of prongs for 3€ or 13€ or 30€. Obviously I don’t want to buy some cheap shit as I want the tools to do the job well, but , so I don’t want to spend a fortune for them. There are only 2 Tandy shops in Europe one in UK and one in Spain which means they are too far and too expensive anyway. I would really need some advice on these matters

WHEN WILL THIS BE AVAILABLE FOR PURCHASE? I WANT ONE!

Love your work!! and your videos. May I ask who makes your marks?

Where Can i buy the machine and templates??

Hey bro! Can you recommend me some good mold producer? It feels pretty hard to find a proper made ones that don't missmatch with 1-2mm from the original file.

Sure wish you had "closed captioning" on this video.

I'm from India and want to buy it, would there be any additional charges apart from $58 = ₹4000 ?

Kindly let me know how to order. With pleasure will use handmade wallet which was done by professional. Regards

do you plans with the steps to assemble?

This video was not only relaxing to watch but very helpful. Thank you!

so a factory makes your wallets? thats disappointing

Bro I am new to leather craft so I would like to ask you few stupid question. what leather have you used is it a cow leather or sheep leather type of tan

what camera type did you used to record my friend? thanks

Que pieza tan hermosa

whats the edge paint called please parker and where could I get some also has Tandy released the sewing machine for the UK market yet mate? thanks mark:)

May I ask what thread you are using in this machine for this wallet? Thanks

I have 4 oz leather but it looks a lot thicker than yours. Tried making a wallet and it was too thick. my leather is 2mm thick..also from tandy.

I want to take it Can you tell me the price?

What glue do you use or cement in bottle

That's a lot of work. I can see why it takes a lot of time and skill! I think a lot of people who don't do leatherwork look at that and say it's a small object, but it requires a lot of handwork even with cutting dies, sewing machines and skivers. They also sometimes don't realize why they cost as much as they do, but look at the equipment you have to buy. The machines and leather aren't cheap. Love your videos!

Wow, just found your channel. I'm hooked. I have been wanting to get into leather craft for a few years now and found your top 10 tools to get started. So I'm gonna get started. Thanks for the inspiration, I am currently binge watching your channel. Awsome content, thanks.

Hey Parker where do you get your dies from?

Bro please tie-up with amazon india so that we can get your awesome products here in india as well..

hey what's that little rolly tool you used to paint the edges?

I like more plain designs when it comes to handbags and wallets but won't pay the high prices for name brands. I'd much rather pay for QUALITY over brand name and support small businesses and artisans ^^

How to buy tools?

I like how you back the binding agent away from the edge of the leather. It can show up on the final project as an unsightly line. You're also burnishing the interior edge segments. Attention to detail is everything. You're a top notch craftsman Parker.

FYI, when using a Bic lighter to melt your thread, wipe the melted end with the metal guard of the lighter to avoid any finger oil transfer. It works great and any excess thread wipes right off your lighter once cooled.

My comment is not a knock on you, just an observation! I understand this is the way you make your living, and you are not a week-end warrior like I am!

where can you buy that leather from ?

Love your videos, and your products looks great, excellent craftsmanship. Are you planning to add a slim wallet to your collection?

عمل رائع تحسد عليه كل الفن والإبداع لمحترف أتقن مهنته

What is the thickness of the leather and type. Please

Good stuff...

- Прошивка машинкой - это грустно или весело? - Это? Это печально!

Gotta have some Hank playing while working!

what is the ideal thickness of the leather to be made into a wallet?

What edge paint is that?

I like your work but my concern is that you are using thick leather. Im no expert but I always check for thin wallets. Nice job overall.

Got to love.the mechanical motion of a walking foot sowing machine.

What bottle are you using for the cement? And are you thinning it?

Hi! Thanks for posting. What size thread and size needle do you use for your machine? Thxs

james king 1 second ago CHRIST DIED FOR OUR SINS HE WAS BURIED AND ON THE THIRD DAY HE WAS RAISED FROM THE DEAD IN THE FLESH AND SEEN OF OVER 500 EYEWITNESSES AT ONCE THIS SAME RISEN SAVIOUR COMMANDS EVERYONE EVERYWHERE TO REPENT AND ESCAPE THE FIRES OF HELL..YOU MUST BE BORN AGAIN......MAY GOD BLESS YOU AND YOUR LOVED ONE FOREVER IN CHRIST JESUS

Just received my Stock & Barel Redford Western wallet and it's obvious they have become a vivtim of their succes and now produce and ship shoddily manufacured wallets (certainly the one they sent to me). I have contacted them about my complaints and never heard back from them! Sewing machine marks from having the machine pressing too hard on the leather when stitching. It’s the same on the other side as well. Poor fit on the outside piece of leather which once folded stretches the leather, which in turn shows the poor dye quality; as the dye really didn’t penetrate well enough into the leather and when folded shows that. Slip-shod dye quality as the inside was not even completely dyed before assembly and shipping. Now I guess I could could understand all these defects, “if, I had bought one of the seconds they offer”, but to send this wallet out as first quality and charge as such I find to be very poor business! I bought this wallet as a gift for my son’s birthday and sad to say, I’m embarrassed to offer it to him. When I showed the wallet to my wife and her dad, who are both French, (I’m American) they just laughed at me and said, “you should have bought a wallet here in France as we have excellent quality leather products”. Great advertising for US made products, eh! Like I said in an earlier e-mail sent to the contact address, all the fun videos and “happy talk” you have on your site go down the drain, when you see what they really are: “just happy talk and false promises”! Signed “A very disappointed customer!”

good looking wallet. To much for my taste. I need something smaller than that, that can hold everything. Keep the good work!

This is serial production. Sewing machine and cutting press..... Pff

Hi Parker, I liked the wallet very much, I just purchased your pattern for the #51 from your web site store and I also have a question for you. Where do you get those plastic squeeze bottles for your contact cement and do they hold up to the cement chemically? They do a really neat job of applying the cement and I would like to give them a try. Thanks and please keep the videos coming I really enjoy watching and learning from them.

Where can I buy this cool wallet? I want to sell it again in my country Indonesia

Hey Brother, not trying to be rude but I have an industrial sewing machine and learning so this is merely a question about stitching. At this point in the video: (ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-OI7PYZq7Dmo.html) the bottom stitches don't look like the top. I have this happen to me and I don't know if it's normal or if my tension is set differently. If you look at the bottom the leather seems to be protruding outward while the top stitches are recessed. Thoughts? Thank you for your videos.

I have a question. Love the stuff you do and am thinking of trying make some stuff with leather. Question was about wallets. Hlave you thought about doing something about Rfid protection for cards or do you already ? Love to know your thoughts .

It’s pronounced bai-fowld, not bih-fowld. Bi as in bicycle, not bi as in big.
