    How to Make a Leather Wallet
    In this video we are making the bifold wallet we designed in last week's video. This bifold leather wallet has 4 card slots and holds 8-10 cards, ha sa nice big cash slot that will also hold receipts, and is a fun and simple DIY project for beginners and advanced leatherworkers alike!
    In this video we talk you through how to do just about everything to get this leather bifold wallet made. You can DIY this project with a couple square feet of leather and a few hand tools, making a wallet that will no doubt last at least a decade in your (or someone else's) back pocket.
    As always, thanks to Weaver Leathercraft for sponsoring this video!
    Happy Crafting :)

    For some reason I decided I wanted to learn leather working today. From the comments, you seem like the perfect place to start.

    Made my first wallet from just studying most of your videos and learning your ways. This video is full of details and I will definitely incorporate all the little tips you give. THANK YOU so much!

    Started leather crafting because of your videos. This is so instrumental to recognizing items such as manually setting distance with single punch. It seems so simple once you explain it but it was driving me insane. A thousand thanks!

  • @dmack1827

    I became interested in leatherwork watching Bedo's Leatherworks channel. Then I got hooked watching the Corter channel. I think I have made 30+ wallets and 20 belts in the past 6 months. Your videos are tremendous for hobbyist leatherworkers. Thanks very much and yes, the talking videos are fantastic!

    I have said this before, but I will say it again. I was so happy that my favorite leather craft channel is actually making a course! I have searched for courses everywhere in platforms that I can afford in vain. Thank you so much!

  • @vargnaar
    @vargnaar Před 4 lety +25

    The details and explanations are amazing. I'm about to start my own leather adventures and this has completely taken the edge off of my worries. Thank you for these and I hope you keep the narrated ones coming!

  • @faithinverity8523
    @faithinverity8523 Před 3 lety +6

    What I find remarkable about this video is that it shows all of the whys and hows so quickly and calmly and how it leaves me with a sense that I could likely create a wallet by myself. Bravo.

  • @mcockerham2003
    @mcockerham2003 Před 4 lety +6

    This video is really well made from top to bottom. The intro is funny and efficient. The narration is free of odd speech patterns, or distracting vocal ticks . There is no irritating music or irregular sound levels. I especially enjoyed the level of detail provided and the pace of the instruction. I was impressed by the product as well. It may be the best CZcams video I have seen all year or any year. Thank you for the fine instructional video as well as the viewing pleasure. I look forward to future videos.

  • @Bubs1524

  • @imrekocsis4614
    @imrekocsis4614 Před 4 lety +21

    I have been watching your channel for about 2 years when I took an interest in leather work. The last two videos have been in the best in my opinion. Your narration gives extra quality to a tutorial style video, I think this helps tremendously for a new/beginning crafter. You can only go so far with "monkey see monkey do" it's the thought process that counts. Please keep up the excellent work. Best wishes and respect from Port Elizabeth South Africa

  • @williampierce5579
    @williampierce5579 Před 3 lety +6

    One trick I learned from watching Hans Atelier was when he prepunched the holes for two separate pieces like you did at the end for this wallet, he used sewing needles in the holes to line up the pieces as he laid them down on each other. Seeing that honestly blew my mind the first time lol

  • @WR4SSE
    @WR4SSE Před 4 lety +11

    I've always wondered how you did the corners.... awesome tip about waxing the wheel not the item.
    So glad you are narrating. Really really helpful.

  • @Spectt84
    @Spectt84 Před 4 lety +4

    Wow. This video should of been titled "Leather Craft - Tips & Tricks from a Master" or something similar... I got into the hobby a few years ago. I usually put in a few hours (almost) every night, I am far from an "expert" but I am able to make some nice things if I invest enough time & effort into a project. With that said, I do constantly struggle with some very "Elementary" aspects of the hobby, such as alignment and proper hole spacing that starts and ends exactly where you would like it to. This video has a ton of excellent tips that can be applied to any project, not just wallets. Great job. Definitely going to be referring back to this a few times... Oh. and yes I prefer the verbal guidance over ASMR style. A+

  • @robbrollinger2856
