Making A Leather Zippo Case
A customer sent in their new Zippo and we made a nice wet molded leather case for it. Wet molding something so small can be a little bit hard, but with some practice it goes fairly quickly! This zippo case is a classic leather crafting project that makes a great gift, and you can add belt loops or bag clips to the back as well if you'd like! We hand stitch these cases with a saddle stitch for even more strength.
The only additions I'm going to add when I make this is:
1) belt loops to be able to wear
2) cutouts on the bottom, maybe in the corners or move the closure to center the cutout, to push the lighter up, sometimes my grip fails me and pushing it up would help getting it out. Keep up the good work.
those sound like some super functional additions!
I would wrap the lighter in aluminium foil so it is a little looser.
Apparently, this was posted 11 seconds before I saw it! That must be some kind of record! :-)
Jer 1967 nope
I knew Sharpies were for more than just signing autographs. 😉
Zippo case: 10/10
Fingers: 8/10
The ol' hands had a rough week this week!
@@Corter Hoping your hands heal up fine.
keep safe and keep making what you make
A trick I do to form leather is use one of those small vacuum seal bags that are made for pillows or clothes. You can get them cheap from dollar general, use a wet/dry vacuum, and gives you perfect forms
Your videos are very polite and easy to understand!
I also make a video about my leathercraft, so it will be a great learning experience! I will come back to see it again!
Thank you!
Amazing !! Good looking finish. Thanks
I have made similar cases in the past, very nice job looks great
Another amazing produce!! Keep up the good work!!👍👍👍
Love it. Awesome work as always 👍
It’s so cute ❤️
So satisfying 😍
Great job!
Super!
Nothin negative to say.....Thanks for putting out videos during this lockdown!
He's lowkey a hypebeast tho...😝...love ur vids btw
Nice jobs!!
Classic!
This is going to be my first project
Amazing
I gotta make a load of these now
Thanks again for the videos...been there done that on the two fingers...lol
Great job sir!
Suggestion for next time:
Personally I wrap my pieces in ordinary foil. Just to keep humidity away from wood, metal... which Im wrapping. 😉
Под ремень приспособить, наверное, будет сложно. А так красиво ! Спасибо за видео !
You are a huge hype beast😎
@8:29 my most favorite tool in the video
Love your work. Maybe you could do a stitching tutorial. I try to follow, but I’m confused about the two thread ends.
Sandra Chatelain they did a tutorial recently. czcams.com/video/EIGT_RXi8ZM/video.html
You should check out his previous videos, I'm pretty sure he made a tutorial already not too long ago.
So quick question do I need the copper water pot or is that just for style points 🤣🤣🥃great video guys be safe and take care
Nice! How hard would it be to make a belt clip for this?
What kind of veg leather are you using? 7-8 oz? I am trying to learn leather work. Thanks in advance!
good
Me: Remembers the leather lighter case build
Me: Oh! a new type of lighter case! Awesome!
on a side note, that's an awful lot of bandages on that hand. Everything ok?
I'm good! I caught a wood splinter across my hand that ripped up every single finger, but down to two bandages now :)
@@Corter Ouch! Well, I'm glad everythings good now.
You should make a guitar strap
How did you control the space between the case and the stitching line to be perfect and the same every where...
supreme
Such a cool design!
Im currently searching for leather which I can use for making wallets and cases etc.. I really like the way veg tan leather can be burnished but also like the slimness of wallets. Do you think that 1.0 - 1.3mm (2,5 - 3oz) thick veg tan leather can be burnished well?
yep! that's the weight we use in most of our carry goods
Corter Leather cool! Thanks for the reply! I think I might give it a shot and try it out! 👌🏼😅
Is it difficult to remove the Zippo for daily use?
nope! First couple times you want it a little tight so it doesn't get too loose over time - it breaks in quickly
Did you add a belt loupe?
What that Water you use...Reguler temp or warm temp ?
My granddaughter saw you have an owie on your fingers she wanted to know if you are okay and what happened.
Thanks you for your projects ^^ i will try
Hello, my name is Marco and I am writing to you from Spain. Would you be so kind as to tell me what kind of skin or leather is used to make the Zippo lighter cover? How thick is it? How long have you been submerged in water? Thank you very much in advance. Greetings from Spain. Marco
could I have the link for the glue? thank you compliment for video
Any way to get a hold of this pattern? :D
Is this hard to learn to do? I wanna buy the tools and learn to make my own case!
Add a hook holder
Where can I buy this?
Is that hot water??
Belt loop or clip?
what about the belt loop?
Muhteşem olmuş 👏👏... " translate to english 😜😜" Turkish.
Are you into supreme in anyway or is this your only piece? I find this very cool.
we've got a few things haha, not a whole ton though. Just the funny stuff
Corter Leather Make more supreme related things! Its also good for the thumbnail!
I've got the leatherman waiting for a new case someday soon ;)
Please the leather was inside what fluid??
I have seen many of your videos, and I was always curious but never asked: what kind o stitching technique do you use? It’s only one needle, so it’s not saddle stitching....
it's two needles - we did a video on how we do it a couple weeks back if you want to go check it out :)
Corter Leather Oh! Ok . Can you tell me which one? Thank you.
yea, i can understand wanting to cover up that "supreme" logo 😆
where is the pattern for this one?
No belt loop,,,?
Nyimak boos
Are you just supposed to carry it in your pocket? It seems like that kind of negates the slim design of the lighter.
Also, won't the rough side of the leather remove the paint on the lighter?
This one's just to put in my bag, since I don't use a lighter much at all I don't carry it in my pocket - you could 100% put a belt loop on this design if you'd like to use it that way! the back of the leather is nice and soft, not rough at all
@@Corter Okay.
we prefer these non-verbal presentations they make for more enjoyable viewing.
a lot of folks really like the narrated videos too so we're gonna do a bit of both!
Did not find the Pattern in the link above.
no real way to make a pattern for a wet molded piece unfortunately, that link is to all the patterns we offer for sale :)
ПРИВЕТ, РАСТОЧИТЕЛЬНО Материалы используеш!
Is that a Supreme lighter? Is that the company that you buy something and it triples in value or something outrageous. Not judging just curious cause I am a hick from Tennessee and don't understand alot of this world.
it is haha, and some of the stuff becomes collectable for sure. Just got this as a gift from a friend, didn't buy it ourselves
Hot water ?
using the supreme zippo just to flex
Didn’t you forgot to put a belt loop?
nope! Didn't plan to carry it on my belt - but you could easily add one to this design!
I did not understand: WHY ???
It is forbidden to wear on a belt! Why is this case ???
ALEX DORA it’s not I had a leather case like that for my zippo it had a belt loop on it
@@harbofdoom AAA !!! Sorry. I did not immediately see.
Good item. LIKE!
ALEX DORA lived it lost it in one of my many moves more upset about the lighter my dad gave it to me
@@harbofdoom I understand you very well. Favorite lighter. The road is like a memory. Greetings from Russia
Good video but I think the ones with talking are a lot better because they help the person watching really know what’s going on not that this video wasn’t great that’s just my 2 cents 🤙🤙
we've got a wet molding tutorial coming next week! Different people like the different styles so we like making both for everyone to enjoy :)
If possible you could film with no narration, then put the narration in while editing and post both. Then we could chose the watch the style we like best. Just make sure to label each one correctly. Thanks
Corter Leather makes sense and the videos are awesome either way 🤙🤙
>Buys one of the most expensive lighters out there >hides its key selling point behind a leather case.
