Follow along as Chuck makes a simple card wallet that can be easily customized to meet your needs and fit your style!
Many different types of leather can be used for this type of wallet, we would recommend using leather around 4 oz. in thickness with a little bit of body, so it keeps its shape. - Навчання та стиль
The best spokesman and teacher I've seen on UA-cam. He has a personality that just draws you in
thanks, Chuck!
not only am i grateful for your awesome leatherworking tutorials, i am also grateful for your enthusiastic attitude and clear love for leatherworking. i hope to develop talents like yours one day.
cheers
When Chuck said in a live that he made a bunch of demonstrative prototypes, he wasn’t kidding! 🤣 Loved the two tone basket weave inset.
I switched over to tragacanth from beeswax because of you and i finally have consistent smooth edges now every time!
I've made many wallets, but they were all from patterns that I printed out. I really like Chuck's method. You make your own patterns, mark all the holes, and use your square to find all the measurements. And no computer needed, save the patterns for later. Simple and easy. I will try this wallet this weekend. Great tutorial, thanks!
That is awesome!
So many invaluable tips! Thank you Chuck!!!
Would make a good salesman
Thanks Chuck, made my first one of these, ordered all the tools you showed and it made it so easy, going to make more to give away, then move up to wallets I hope. Love your videos
That's awesome, Maurice! So glad to hear that!
Another great video! Ihad to take some time away from doing leathercraft but I think this will be one of the first projects here soon for getting back to it.
OLD LEATHER SMITH here, Great Job Chuck, I designed my own 4 clients, 2 give 2 them 4 a thank you, I carve there name or business card into the leather, I also install a wide ribbon 2 help remove the their credit card from the center, I only use 2 pieces of Leather, GOD'S BLESSINGS ✝️⚾🙃
Very nice, thanks Jim!
Nice video. Sounds like a car salesman
Great project - many thanks, Chuck!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Great project! Thanks so much, Chuck!
Thank you, Scott!
@@WeaverLeatherSupply Chuck, could you (please, please, please) make a video on making that amazing tool board that you have behind you. I started out a year ago and my tools are multiplying and it seems that I spend more time looking for a tool that I do working on my project ! Organization is key.
Quick question. What is the oil you have on the rag in a bag?
Probably Neetsfoot oil or the like.
Hi Daniel,
It is pure Neatsfoot Oil!
@@WeaverLeatherSupply thank you. I thought so but didn't want to assume.
Anxiously waiting for that beveler to be back in stock.
Looks like Friday 3/5 is the estimated in stock date!
A boot tray on top of the shelf to hold stains and dyes may help keep the leaks confined to the tray and not dripping or spilling over the edge.
Have you ever made a jacket with fringe along the sleeve and the yoke along the back of the jacket, high top Mocs
Nice tips for a newbie
Glad you think so!
Great project. How would I add RFID blocking?
Great video! I'm in Tx and it gets ! hot here. Im out in it most of the day and my wallet never really dries except on the weekend and gets really nasty and moldy smelling. I cant find a wallet that lasts more than a couple months from the sweat and the bending breaks up my cards too. Do yall have a ANVIL tough wallet? I get tired of paying $40 to $50 for pretty junk that wont hold up more than a couple months? I admit Im hard on stuff, but I know I aint the only one out here working and having the same issue.
Awesome
Chuck: Question that comes up sometimes with making wallets. Is there a trick to add a clear vinyl window to leather? For a driver's license? Width of leather bezel? Stitch length? Type of vinyl. I want to add a window pocket to a wallet like the one you showed here. Thank you.
Hi there! I just tried to click on the link for the pattern but its a broken link and gives me a 404 error! are the files available elsewhere?
Hi Chuck. Love the videos! Would you recommend any kind of tooling to 'force' a fold in the wallet? I know it will crease over time but I sense there is a risk that a 'natural' fold won't necessarily be even. Thank you from Ireland!
Hi David,
I've never needed to force fold any wallets or card holders so I can't say I would recommend it. You shouldn't have any trouble with the wallet wanting to fold crooked and it doesn't take long at all to get it to fold naturally - just some use and wear.
Hello sir, can i have some advice? I got a vegtan leather that on the grain side (surface) is not smooth equally. The grain looks like it was sanded by machine because it has some linear line in a multiple spot. What can i do to make this grain side smooth equally? Does sanding it will help? Thanks before, sir. Your advice will help me to solve this problem🥺
Hi Masih,
We would not recommend sanding the leather on the grain side. This will remove the top layer and potentially ruin the leather. I really don't have a good answer for you on this as far as getting the lines out - you may need to either work around the lines or just embrace them and they will add character to the project.
@@WeaverLeatherSupply thank you so much, i dont know how to do with my leather until you gave me this advice. It means a lot for me, thank you for make me more confident! 🥺
Hey, great video! What is the material your templates are made out of? How were those cut? Thanks!
Hi there,
The pattern material is our plastic pattern sheet, we'll link it below. They are cut using a regular utility knife.

Inside won't bleed thru on card?
Pro Dye has pretty much no ruboff. I like it a lot!
dibs on the blockbuster card LOL do you make custom stamps?
Hi there,
We do not make custom stamps here, but, we recommend Stamp Yours. stampyours.com/
@@WeaverLeatherSupply thank you and you're welcome
Would saddle lac be a good choice for top coat?
Hi Brandon,
Yes, that would work just fine for something like this.
Canada has some new stupid regulations and one of the chemicals in pro dye is banned. If you see pro dye in Canada, grab it. I bought a a bunch.
