We're excited to have Jimmy DiResta back as a guest. In this week's video, Jimmy makes a wet molded leather iPhone holster case with a pencil holder. This case features loops so it slides right onto your belt. The phone case is hand stitched using Ritza Tiger thread and is made from 6/7 oz. brown latigo leather.

I wouldn’t consider this my best project, but I learned a lot and that’s what’s most important because a fairly simple project like this can be repeated and improved.
Thank you for watching
jimmydiresta this whole video I thought how have I not seen this video before 🤷♂️ turns out it’s only just been uploaded, I think the project looked great and had a great petina thanks for your inspirations
Greetings from the uk 🇬🇧 👍
Hiya Jimmy. Just a FYI, next time use a "Vegetable Tanned" 6-7oz. It wetforms 10x's better. Then do all your cuts, sanding and trimming. Next dye before you glue and sew.
Chrome tan and very thick pre-colored veg tan is never good for a project like this. Chuck of weaver leather did a quick demo on different thickness' on weaver's UA-cam channel.
Optional - Add sealer or leather conditioner. Im not sure if you can do both, you will have to ask Chuck.
Thankyou sir for your video here and the toolbag one.
I put beeswax on my stitching forks and it stops the leather from separating as you pull the fork out
Honestly, Jimmy - it’s encouraging to see that even you have to modify your plans to deal with unexpected materials/process performance. That’s what happens in every project I do!
Did i really just spend 11 minutes watching a guy make a leather holster for his phone..
Yes , yes i did.
Awesome work , you are very skilled .

LOL! I was kinda thinking that too, but it was actually interesting. Almost made my DIY/crafting senses awaken to new possibilities - only im not sure what i would want to make in leather...
I like hearing your commentary with your videos. It keeps me more engaged and a better understanding to your process.
Aussie saddle maker here. Been a saddler since the mid 1980s. I tell me customers that though I have been an saddler for years, I am still learning! This video showed me new ways of molding leather. Very well thought out steel press tool. Thank you to Weaver.
Aussie old time saddlemaker here. Hand stitching with the main body flexible is very tricky and difficult. Well done Weaver. This shows a very experienced leather worker.
That washer trick was awesome...........
It is great to watch projects being made even if they aren't completely perfect. We get to learn what not to do in addition to learning what to do. And watching Jimmy is always a joy!
The inconsistencies and irregularities are what I look for in something hand made. This came out looking very nice. I love the color of that piece of leather. I have not done anything with leather since school. So the 70s. As I recall I used Feibings products then. Im getting ready to experiment with Chase and Repousse now. 3 years on though you probably wont see this comment. Nice Work.
Am always amazed how one can pick up hints from others videos. Would never have thought of using a washer as a width guide so thanks for that. Made a similar thing from a plastic shampoo bottle a while ago and cut a finger slot half way up from the bottom so I can lift the phone out without any cords. Love watching leather working and have great respect for the skills involved. Thanks so much.
Nice work Jimmy.
Outstanding work sir
I love these narrated video's ! much better than the silent ones!
Hi Weaver, I enjoyed Jimmy's process and his honesty. I made a similar iPhone holster for a friend a few years back, sans the attachment for pencils, and solved the the removal difficulty by including an opening at the centre bottom (lozenge shaped about 1" x 1") sufficient for a fingertip to raise the phone; I also used a holster clip rather than belt loops thus reducing the bulkiness and increasing the attachment options.

Nicely done!
Reminds me of my grandfather's old leather cigar case. Very purdy!
Nicely done.
Nice job. Quality product
Love your vice instead of a stitching horse. LOVE IT, NEVER THOUGHT OF IT. AND THEN THE JADE GLUE WOW I DID BOOK BINDING. WOW
Work very nicely, the pinnacle of magnificence in performance
A True Master Craftsmen
Love the big ol'blunt pockets!! Seems, more everyday, I gotta smoke before I look at my phone. 1984 in 2020.
I like it... Also I like the voice overlay these videos. You leave in the mistakes as well as the triumphs. Phone holder looks great. The person building a project is always their worst critic. I’m sure the next one will be even better.
Awesome job,
I like your project and think it turned out very nice. I do a lot of leather work. Mostly holsters and I use a dead blow hammer to add my makers mark and I put it on the project early on. If I screw up then I haven't lost much time. On my holsters I like to use very hot but not boiling water to soak the leather. It helps to harden the leather when it dries. Thank you for taking the time to make and share this video with us.
I watch the talent that goes into something like this and just say Wow! This and many arts are becoming a thing of the past, and I love that people like you keep it alive.
Yes, making mobile phone cases is really a lost art of the past(!?)
@@Jay-we2ek 🤣I know, right. Leatherwork isn't really a "lost art," like a lot of other handmade things are, I don't know what they're talking about.
Great work
I think it came out great
I really enjoyed your entire process. I find myself thinking the same thought of "let's just try it and see." Many times this turns out better for me than if I had actually planned ahead. Thanks for the upload
Sweet. I like the way you emphasize learning what works and what doesn't.
Nice & good work that apron you guys made for the woodworker really nice
Great job
I was thinking snubby holster. Good solid job.
Great video!
Very nice work.
Thanks for sharing your skills 👍👍
Always learning, always trying new things. Keep it up Jimmy!
Nice work!!
You do great work
Excellent video!
I'm going to call this your John Wick iPhone holster ...
Great job practical and unique
I was happy to see you're using Dixon Ticonderoga pencils! They're the best! I've been using them for 70+ years.
Sweet case
Magnificent making I feel you're a iPhone cowboy phone slinger . thoroughly glued to watchin' the making . thanks Jimmy , I'm fanatic about the wild west .
Nice project
That might be something to put in your store! The plastic ones that hang off a belt catch on everything as you move while working! Awesome work as always
Well done
WL thanks for brinnging Jimmy back for another project
Nice work man.. 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Beautiful
Excellent.
Good job brother
You nailed it absolutely.👍
Push the stitching forks into some wax before making the holes in the leather - this may help you withdraw it after. You may have to do that several times throughout the process.
I always enjoy your leatherwork videos.
Thanks for that idea.
Tnx for sharing
Nice. I'm stealing that tip!
Been a saddlemaker for nearly 40 years. Your idea is great, I will use it.
This guy is damn good with eyeballing and everything
Art intuition!
Skills man....skills.!!!!
Impressive Sir👌👍
Great video!! Thank you
I do a lot of my own leather gear too.
Yes there are some small inconsistencies here and there, but I don’t mind anymore, that’s what makes them handcrafted. Looks good.
Holger Göhr Yup, this is why I think leatherworking is easier to do. Seems forgiving.
Nice job
I still say some researchers need to study your mind. Love the voice over, love it all. Thanks!
Beautiful work.
My bucket list includes making a leather sheath for a really nice hunting knife I made. Your video shows some great talent...thanks for sharing.
Thank you, Les!
How did you even pop up on my UA-cam? THANK YOU MOTHER UNIVERSE! - possibly the best video I watched in a decade ❤️. I want your shop ❤️.
Thank you weaver leather and jimmy always a great inspiration
We are our worst critics. The cell phone leather case and pencils are a good old tech verses new tech symbol. I liked it.
@Pavel Vanek Still using them and a pocket note pad today. No batteries.
Let Bees Wax be your friend for stitch holes. Great job
New phone holder, new pants.......your coming up in the world Jimmy 😀
Do you know what brand the jeans are in this video
He is starting his own line of cloths. Not available yet but soon, at least that is what I understand from his post on social media.
Thank you for the response, if the pants in the video are them I'm looking forward to getting a pair
adept video … no-nonsense explanations … thanks for sharing.
Great build Jimmy. Making it look easy as ever.
I learned some very interesting concepts and can envision making my own molds. Thank you for sharing your experience and insights!
I found your videos about 6 months ago and am amazed by your skill and talent and problem solving techniques with each one that I watch.
God has truly blessed you with many talents.
Thank you for sharing your journey with us all.
It gives me courage to try things that I've always wanted to do but didn't know how to.
Merry Christmas
Not only are you a great leather worker but a great narrator as well !!! Loved you video
Is there anything this guy can’t do? I bet he even cooks like a master chef! Hahahahaha
I dig it. I can’t wait to try some leather molding.
I loved the design and final product. Exactly what I have been looking for. Perfect.
Wooooooow man,that’s amazing . Just woooow
Very nice👍👍👍
I love it !
I love watching leather making videos. It’s so satisfying. It looks great! I’d love to have one like that.
The only leather project I've done as an adult was making a phone holster about 10 years ago. I'm about to make my 5th holster since I got a new phone yesterday. Thanks for posting this video, it's good to see how someone else does it. Mine has a metal belt clip so the phone hangs about 3" below my belt, riding low on my leg like an old six shooter, this makes it quite comfortable to leave on while driving. It can either hug my leg under the seatbelt or dangle next to the seat.
Great Job, I just love watching such great craftsmanship!! Thanks for sharing and keep up the great work!!
This is the first of your videos I've seen. Good job on the phone holster. Excellent job on editing and narrating the video. Maybe the best video I've seen in that regard. Most people want to be a star. With you it's like a friend is telling me what he did. Subscribed.
Looks awesome love the process can't wait to see more leather work from this channel and jimmy
Really making me want to get into leatherwork now. Maybe a paddle holster style for the next iteration so you can slide it over your belt rather than threading the belt through it. It would be easier to remove for driving, etc. Thanks for the awesome content, as always!
nice work man
Excellent..what talent and ingenuity!
Very nice!
wow I am impressed for a guy who obviously isn't a leather crafter that is really good. I think if you got into leather crafting and learn some of the techniques you would be absolutely spectacular. And talk about innovative! I never thought about using edge coat in that manner before. Looks good
I really enjoyed watching this. Great job!
Cool. Some of us are learning with you. THX for putting it up!
Good to see you again,The project,s Always catch my eye,but it’s the craftsman that keeps me here! Best wishes from upstate ny ( Mohawk valley).
Very nice finished project. Been making custom knives for hunting (and fillets for fishing) since 1972. Each knife gets a sheath as per customer order. I have made a few molded shearhs, but most of mine are flat-fit with a fold over on one side and a narrow liner piece on the edge side to protect stitching. On larger knives I also add a hard plastic liner. Anyway, your project has inspired me to make a tool holder of two types, one for my knife making, and another for my woodworking. I use table saw, band saw, disc sander, router and the likes in both operations which require small tools to make adjustments. One of these pouches specific to the operation I am involved in would be invaluable, keeping me from looking all over the shop for where I laid my specific allen wrench, etc. Thanx, and nice vid.
Nice first try project
Always great to see you on the bandsaw - so smooth and aestetic, definitly your signature 😊
Like a good craftsmen you are meticulous and intuitive with a diversity of skills. You are critical of your work but don't let the minutiae eat you up. This is fantastic! Functional and very professional looking. I learned a lot watching this thank you for sharing sir.
Lovely.
Awesome!
well thought out and like that you share the mistakes and how you fixed them. everyone has mistakes and most times you don't see them on camera. I'm doing a passport wallet and tooled a design twice before doing it on the wallet then did a antiquing which turned out horribly so I retooled another piece of leather and just did the dye work. So everyone has their creative juices challenged all the time. good job
really cool
Very cool
Nice job I'm 50 now and started learning small leather project a few months ago I find it very rewarded when someone says were did you get that leather case and i say i make it and they say i wish i could that! I say well why can't you, some people just buy things I like to make things good job Jimmy keep learning new things Mike K
Very inventive with the pencil holders, I wouldn't have come up with that. I made one for my iphone 8 but decided I wanted to be able to put it on and take it off without threading my belt through it so I did a belt loop on the back and instead of stitching the bottom I used snaps. That worked out well but the do occasionally come unsnapped in the car. I should have used pull the dot snaps. All in all nice work.
