Thank you for your kind words! I'm currently working on the pattern and will update you in the video description and through the community tab once it's ready.

Hi! Thank you so much for your kind words. The belt style doesn't have a specific name, but the buckle holes are indeed closer to the tip end of the belt, and they're placed closely together to offer comfort and adjustability in wear. This belt leans towards a more casual style because its details are larger compared to those of a formal belt. I'm glad you enjoyed it!

Thank you very much!

Many thanks! I'm glad you liked it. Sewing isn't hard; it just takes some time to complete each stitching run, especially if you're working with thinner threads. If you're starting on hand stitching, I suggest trying it out first with some scrap pieces of leather and repeating the exact movement for each stitch while moving forward. This will help you achieve consistent results with each new stitch you make. Good luck!

Many thanks! I’m glad you liked it! Yes, since this leather was actually thinned down, by lining it you can give the wallet more structure than if left unlined.

Awesome! I'm sure that person will love the gift. Good luck with your crafting!

Many thanks! I'm glad you liked it and found it useful. I haven't used the Cherry marbled from Rocado, but I'm planning on making more cordovan projects soon, perhaps combining some solids with marbled colors. Thanks for the tip! I'll check it out!

Yes, it will, but it might feel quite large as a front pocket wallet if you're carrying several things in the same pocket, such as keys or a phone. I believe it can fit well in jeans with straight cuts or even chinos. Another way it has worked well for me is on the inside of a sports jacket or suit. I hope this helps!

I'm glad it was helpful!

Picked up a black herbie, cheers buddy @@dagsleather

I hope you enjoy it! It’s a very unique and elegant wallet. Cheers! @@algreen1

Thank you so much!

You're Welcome! Glad it was helpful

Hi John! Many thanks for your suggestion, I was planning on going for a pair of Amy Roke until I saw the Kevin Lee ones. I rarely use pricking irons, rather tend to use more the chisels but indeed there are some projects that look way better with a finer detail that only a pricking iron can give you. I’ll definitely check them out and hopefully make a video using them soon! Thanks again and Best Regards!

Thank you for your kind words! Absolutely! I've just uploaded the pattern online on Etsy here: www.etsy.com/listing/1336968066/minimalist-bifold-wallet-pdf-pattern-2?click_key=5a5e4d3eff9982557d04f95d98fad883a5ed887e%3A1336968066&click_sum=7a3312fb&ref=shop_home_active_7&pro=1

Hi, yes of course! The vessel measures 35 cm total height by 19 cm in its widest point. The opening on the top measures 13 cm in diameter. That would be around 13.75 x 7.5 inches with an opening of 5.11 inches aprox. Hope it helps!

Thank you for your kind words! The music on this video are: El Bosque by ANBR, The House, also by ANBR, and Far Away Feelings, by Jamie Rutherford. Hope it helps!

Thanks! I'm glad you liked it. The glue I use in this video is actually used in shoe crafting, it's called Balco. I haven't found this glue on the Internet but it's similar to a contact cement. I bought mine from a local leather shop. In small pieces like handle loops it can hold pretty decent if you let both leathers pressed while the glue is drying. For larger pieces like a card holder and beyond, I do suggest you stitch it. However, I'm switching to a new glue which is water based called Aquilim 315 because this Balco one has a strong smell after working with it for a while. Hope it helps!

@@dagsleather Thanks for sharing. I heard of Aquilim 315. I am a bit hesitate to use water-based glue. I worry the edges will be loosen and crack after a while if the glue is not strong even it is held tight by the stitches. The keychain or wallet may not look good over time. Perhaps you may consider to share your experience of different glue you use in the near future, their strength and weakness. I do enjoy your videos and quality works.

@@journeywithin6274 Thank you for your kind words and recommendation! Yes, absolutely! I can make a video reviewing these glues including some testing and forcing the leather for some time to see how much they hold. So far the pieces I've worked with Alquilim haven't given me any trouble but I do think they need more time to see how well they really stand.

​@@dagsleather​Great ! Looking forward to your review and your findings. Thanks !

Thanks! Glad you like it! I still have a few pieces of this leather left and will finish some small projects.

Hi Andrew, that's right, for this wallet I used 4 times the total length of the stitching run but I always add around 20 cm or 8 inches extra to handle the needles comfortably in the end. The thickness of this wallet opened is 5 mm, anything thicker I would suggest you multiply the run by 5 to ensure there's enough thread for your projects.

@@dagsleather Thanks for your quick reply. I have enjoyed many of your videos and look forward to more.

Thank you! Cheers!

Hi! You can also add beeswax to the edges and polish the wax with a wooden edge slicker. It leaves the edge with a matte-like feel and slightly dull appearance compared to the polishing gum. Just rub some beeswax on the edge you wish to polish and then with the slicker apply some friction and remove the excess with a clean cloth. If you don't have some wax at hand you can polish the edge with water and rub it with an edge slicker or a small piece of wood. It also gives a nice finish.

Thanks! I’m glad you liked it and was useful! Yeah, it’s actually very common in Mexico for local tanneries to sell you glues, dyes, and cleaners in Coke bottles :)

Thanks!

Many thanks!

Thank you for your kind words! I enjoy watching jewelry videos, actually! Will check them out!

@@dagsleather Thanks bro for your attention! Also, thank you for understanding that I try to attract attention in the comments! Good luck to you !

Yes, after painting the edges with white edge paint I added some burnishing gum, it gives the edges a slight polish and shine, otherwise the paint would have looked mat.

Thank you so much 😀 I'm glad you liked it. Absolutely! The music for this video are: Far Away Feelings - Jamie Rutherford The House - ANBR Vuelta al Sol - Tomas Novoa Tundra - Tomas Novoa The People - Kyle Preston El Bosque - ANBR You can listen to them on Artlist Have a nice day!

@@dagsleather Awesome! Thank you so much!! 😁😊

Yeah, it is! But it's really worth it when you see the final products finished :) This Japanese Shell has also a cedar color, which is the one from my banner image. It's a really nice color as well!

@@dagsleather I agree, its absolutely beautiful!
