Leather Wallet | Easy DIY

It has been a while since my last leatherworking project, decided to make something easy to get back into it. Ended up with a decent looking wallet that I'm already using and that I like a lot! If you want to make one, here you can download a free template with the precise measure I made mine: http://blackbeardproject.com/free-dow... Made to print on a regular A4 size paper. The leather I used is 2mm thick, making this with a thicker leather might be pretty hard. I am no leatherworker so take this just as a quick project, I'm sure there are plenty better design. Index of operation and materials: All cutting done with a box cutter and steel ruler I used the pattern on my cutting mat for measuring cuts 0:39 10mm hole punch 1:03 5mm hole punch 1:27 beveling tool 1:58 thinning down the inner side of the card holder 2:25 Sanding edges to smooth everything out 2:55 Folding the two piece of leather together to mark button location 3:24 Setting in the clip button 3:46 Fake chamois leather from a pair of boots 4:13 Dyeing the cuts with brown leather dye 4:52 Leather finish to seal edges 5:10 Burnishing with a pen (anything that fits will work) 5:46 Glueing cards pockets with contact adhesive 7:04 Glueing backing again with contact adhesive (same boots fake leather) 7:49 Glueing two parts of the wallet, care where you add glue 8:23 Sanding edges to make everything nice and square, but also slightly rounding edges. 9:06 Beveling sanded edges to break corners (also sanded off camera) 9:30 Cutting groove for the stitches 9:58 Punching stitches holes with forks 10:28 Leather finish on edges and burnishing 11:12 Sewing with waxed thread 12:17 Weathering outside by removing some color from the leather with alcohol 12:50 Branding iron I made a while back 12:00 Vintage looking numbers Off camera I also applied more leather finish and cleaned well with rag. For those asking where to find tools: I bought mine some years ago when I was starting to make leather sheaths. I went for the cheapest I was able to find. Have been working great so far! Can't find exactly the one I have but I listed some in my amazon storefront that are pretty much the same and any similar ones will work aswell. https://www.amazon.com/shop/blackbear...
