- I have actually made a video about this style of case before. This is a remake of a video and is also about remaking a case just like one I made about 10 years ago.

Hi Bransons, did enjoyed to the max watching you sharing your knowledge with us. so great thank you a million. Kind regards
Thank you for watching!
Awesome❤❤
thank you for sharing, wish i had sewing machine like that ...
Very nice video. Thank you. Try using a propane BBQ lighter to singe the thread ends after trimming. Saves the fingers.
I have used those too. I also know a leather crafter that has a soldering iron on his bench to finish threads. One of those gun type ones that heat up in just a few seconds
Excellent video I really enjoyed it. Congratulations.
Thanks for watching!
@@bransonsgeneralstore do you have a similar case for iPhone 13 mini for sale?
I do not have any phone cases for sale. Sorry.
Holy crap your good. 👍
Thank you!
That's pretty awesome. I don't know that I would use one personally, but I was thinking about making one for my dad and father in law. For Christmas or something. Just curious though, how do you price something like this? I personally love leather, but no way i could make one and be competitively priced with the plastic crap they sell everywhere.....I'm still way too slow lol. I do have a guy asking me to make him a knife sheath and I've thought about taking it on when work slows down, but I wouldn't know how to price that either.
Prices are always a challenge. I try to charge at least two to three times the approximate cost of materials. You can also go with cost of materials plus what you want to charge for your time. I don't always get enough for the time involved before I start to think the price is unreasonable. If the job is not difficult then I just charge the reasonable price. If it is something that is a pain, or is a job I just don't want to do I will quote the price figured on cost per hour. Sometimes I have been paid almost twice what I felt was a reasonable price because I quoted a really high price for a job I didn't want to do. That way at least I have some motivation to do it.
Lol i worked for a guy who would do that. If he didn't want a job he'd overprice it. If they accepted the offer,,,let's go make money. They sucky part is, I was a flat rate no matter how much the company made. Thank you for the reply. I really do appreciate it.
May I ask what the cutting to is? I'm getting into it and I'm making one for a break cinch on a saddle. Any tips?
Not sure what you mean by "cutting to". If you are asking about the shape of the leather before it gets cased over the block, it is intentionally left oversized to be trimmed after it is shaped. Start with the shape of the part of the block you want to cover. Then around three edges add the thickness of the block, the thickness of the leather, and about 3/4 of an inch extra.
Have a question , where do you get the money clip with the hole in it? I have searched all over the place for them.
I mostly buy them from Tandy leather. You should be able to find them from other leather craft suppliers and Amazon. They are usually called "belt holster spring clips"
Hey I’ve been looking for one of these Im not having any luck finding one. Would you make me one and I’ll buy it from you?
Sorry, but I have a full-time job that keeps me busy and I have enough business locally to keep me busy, so I don't take custom orders online.
Do you have a store? Can I buy one from you for my iPhone 13pro max
I do have an Etsy store, but I don't do custom phone cases. I have a full-time job and enough business locally to keep me busy.
@@bransonsgeneralstore oh ok
Is there a reason why you use a leather pattern, and not make a wood pattern. Asking from a newbie to the leather world.
Mostly just because I have a box of leather scraps right here, and making a wooden piece would take longer for me to do. I have used wooden and plastic pieces to shape cases. Steel pieces will need to be wrapped in plastic to avoid leaving black stains in the leather.
Can you make me one please?
I don't sell custom work online. I have a full-time job and enough business locally to keep me busy. Sorry.
