This box makes it look as if you have cards powerful enough to duel a pharaoh into submission.
Esteban Romero So much YES!

Love and Hurt I
Well this was unexpectedly awesome. Came here for a deck box option, and now I'm getting into leatherworking!
I enjoyed the tutorial. Your are a very good instructor clear and articulate. Thank you
Nicole Beadwright Campanella Thank you so much! We are very close now to putting out some more How-To videos so stay tuned!
Do they have a link for their paper thing they used to trace? (Can't remember the word)
legible, simple and quick, just stodoys plans.
Thank YOU!!!!!
@@maidadutcher8923 Welcome
nice! I've been getting interested in working with leather & this demo was super helpful (& don't even want to make a deck box). but this answered so many questions
achanwahn glad we could help!
Chris & Amanda, great video. I picked up a couple of tips from this. I recently (a year ago) got into leather working, and I use a Dremel with the rubber mandrel to smooth out rough edges. I've also found that gum tragacanth works extremely well with it. Hope to see more videos. Cheers, - AJ
Real Food For Dudes For sure! That does work well! Keep up the awesome craft. :-D
Thanks! I used your tutorial and made 2 beautiful deck boxes. Trial and error to achieve a workable pattern but the rest was just as you demonstrated. I'm lucky to live in Minneapolis as we have 2 Tandy Leather stores here. I had enough veg tanned left over from another project and I made a trip for the hardware and TA DA. Thanks again!
Sean Hallas THAT'S AWESOME!!! Keep up the good work! We would love to see pictures of your final product!! If you want to share, msg us on fb or email at vestriproductions@gmail.com
Amazing! Thank you for sharing it with us!
First of all I would like to thank you for the tutorial. Very well explained and detailed. Thank you. I have had trouble finding a catch that gives enough height to close the box. Only meeting for wooden boxes. Already added that with pushbutton does not look too cool haha
This is fantastic work,and a reasonable price for the work involved. I'd love to see more easy to follow, one piece designs!
you do a damn fine job of showing the process clearly and explain it all well. good work man. have a sub and a like.
Fabulous work. Amazing.
There are some crazy cool loking deck boxes around the internet, but they're all crazy expensive as well. I may actually try to mae my own. Also it's really satisfying when you accomplish something like that!
Beautiful work. Very nice quality.
I've been really wanting to start this hobby! Thanks for this!
Absolutely! Our pleasure :-)
Very nice process to learn. Thank you for sharing this information with us...
Nice work, thanks for the info.
Man, you are like a superhero. You can really work fast! Like the original Superman movie when he flies around the Earth to turn back time to save Lois Lane. Nice video! Thanks!
sambking Haha thanks!!! :-P
Hello, I just watched your video on making a leather card box posted 8 months age. I want to thank you because it was very informative. I am looking into working with leather and it was very useful to watch see the work in action.
Thanks so much for watching NerfTrouble! It's amazing it's been that long! Yikes - we're going to put out new videos soon - promise. More how-to leather fun, so stay tuned!
Thank you for your videos Tony
Woooooooooooooooooow! it's a savage deviljho T-shirt? awesome, and awesome tutorial
Adisvlack Ramirez Our friend makes the shirt: www.redbubble.com/people/zachymassacre/works/12264217-jho?grid_pos=1&p=t-shirt&rbs=962c69ca-128c-4320-bc8e-aeca5f3ed622&ref=artist_shop_grid&style=mens
Excellent tutorial.
Thanks for the excellent tutorial. Beautiful box amigo.
Thanks Chris! Glad you liked it!
That is one badass looking sword in the background
Also, pro tip, have music or a voiceover in the time lapses
Cameron Fink Thanks! And yes, next time!
For stain, I use the little sauce cups from Chinese restaurants. They work nice for epoxy, too.
Great demo! Thanks for sharing. By the way great shirt!!!
Mary Mess Thanks!! :-D
Really digging that Hadhafang replica you got behind ya.
Nice to see a fellow LOTR nut.
Bill Bill YES!!!!!!!!!!! Thank you!!
Great tutorial, thanks for the ideas.
For sure Kerry! Thanks for your interest!
Wonderful really thank you.
I’m so glad I found u again xD I remember looking up tutorials for costume design a few months back and when I stumbled across u again, I totes recognized that sword in the background 👌🏽👌🏽👌🏽 subscribed! Long overdue 💖
Nice job!
Hey Jeremy,
The pattern we used in our video was our own design. We're not sure if you can buy one online, but try using some cardstock to come up with something of your very own! :-D. If you have any other questions, let us know!

Your channel has so much potential, I enjoyed this video so much, I would love to see more leather work creations, and it would be pretty cool to make swords and other such stuff tutorials for the sheath and decor! :D
Thanks so much! We will be back soon! We appreciate your kind words and awesome tips. :-D
Best wishes,
Chris and Amanda
I could use this for tarot cards! Sweet!
wow,you're a good worker,i think this is a proffesional work,Careful details to achieve a good product,thanks i learned a lot :) ,suscribed!
Nice to see a Monster Hunter fan. Devil Jho is a fun fight
Thanks, I needed
that.
Greetings from Germany! Nice video! Just one... advice? My sister is a satchelmaker, she uses a halfmoon shaped knife to cut out patterns. I tried it and it is so much easier than using a pair of scissors and it gives you a much cleaner cut than an exactor knife. These knifes maybe are a bit more on the expensive side but they are truely worth it.
Just in case anyone else out in the world is reading this and is curious, the half moon shaped knife is called a round knife or head knife.
Solid Devil Jho shirt!
That was an awesome tutorial. Thanks!
Thanks Sam! We're glad you like it! :-D. More soon to come!
looks like an elvish sword from LotR or Legolas's sword.
Hey David! You are right! It's Hadhafang, Arwen's sword (technically Elrond's... lol)
Vestri Productions Nice. That was my other guess. Nice Deck box btw.

Bro I might get back into leather working just from watching this video
nice job ! Vestri
great job brother
This was actually really neat to watch, and you made it look so easy and accessible to a beginner. I've always admired handmade leather pieces, though I can rarely afford them. There is something distinctive and charming about them. I do a lot of my own sewing and have considered trying to dabble in leather before, but it looked complicated or difficult. It still seems like it takes a fair amount of skill and practice to become competent, but it doesn't feel impossible after watching this.
A little bit of mood music during the silent parts might be nice, though. I have a really hard time concentrating on just one thing, and it was a struggle to watch those very interesting assembling parts, even though I was fascinated. I guess it is a bit of a weird suggestion, and picking music to please everyone will be impossible, but there's my two cents worth. :)
Pearl Carol Thanks for watching!!! There will definitely be music next time! ;-)
I know this is for leather, but this gave me an idea for some paper trinket boxes... And such a lovely leather piece. Almost makes me wish that I still played magic to make this box to keep a deck in. XD
Gearsinice Awesome! We're glad it helped!
Best use of a Yoga mat ever.
This was really good, I might have to see if I can work out a way to make a bigger box (might need an internal structure). If you have seen the Transformers TCG, some of the cards are nearly the size of an A4 sheet of paper.
I built mine around a medium size card box, and wet and baked the veg-tan for rigidity.
Uno de los mejores tutoriales de youtube sobre trabajar el cuero. Gracias de verdad por el vídeo, me ha animado a meterme en ello como hobby. (Lo siento por no ponerlo en inglés pero quería expresarme apropiadamente y con exactitud, estoy aprendiendo xD)
TonyFS12 ¡Gracias por sus amables palabras! Le deseamos suerte en su aventura en el mundo del cuero!
Los mejores deseos,
Chris y Amanda
So awesome. Thanks. :)
love the shirt.
Wow! Awesome video, really explicative! Also, I watched the link with your products, I was ready to bet that the deck box would have been like 70€ or more, and seing it at 40€ was a surprise xD
Maybe one day, when I have money to put in this......... :D
needs a belt loop or some kind of loop to attach it to something for carrying around
SingingintheDark You can absolutely put one on! We offer that as an option for the custom boxes we sell on Etsy. :-) Happy creating!
was thinking the same thing lol.
Well done!
Thank you!
Looks like a nice box to mount on a belt. Maybe for hunters/survival to use as a tinderbox or something.
Centrikk Sure can! You can use it for whatever, and we have put belt loops on them. :-)
Great tutorial. Can you please provide a link where did you find the decorative rivets? I can't find carved rivets in that small size. Thanks
Great vid! Do you have that template for download? Do you use any particular software to make templates? Thanks!
just a suggestion if you are making a lot of these and have at least a larger base pattern you like (even better if rivet placement is part of that) you can probably get a local metal shop to make you die to cut from your leather just using a few clamps for pressure at the right points and save your hands a lot of cutting and use less material by putting the shapes closer together
Mike Cicciarella Oh for sure Mike! That would be ideal. :-)
That's an awesome sword behind you
Yes! We think so too... :-D
i'm gonna make a giant one for my cards against humanity pack!
i just realised you're wearing Stephan Amell's campaign shirt! :O Awesome tutorial by the way!
VastoPenguin Yaaaaaaaas!
fun tip: if you use the wood smoothing wheel instead of the plastic one, you can thread a 1/4" inch bolt in the middle and chuck it into a power drill. Dont use the plastic for this, itll warp
especially useful for belts...
Thanks for the video! Can you upload the template link? Thank you!
awsome
Where can I find patterns for boxes like this? Great idea.
Love the video! Very informative and helpful. I have one question, just out of curiosity. You say not to put the leather in the oven, does that also apply if your oven has a bread proofing option? Most bread or dough proofers only warm up to 90 or 100 F. (pretty useful if you're baking in a colder climate and worry about your dough rising properly)
Murrfle Hmmmm we've never tried it, but you can always try it with a scrap piece of leather! 😁
hola, hay alguna posibilidad de que le agregues subtitulos en español a vídeo, me gusto mucho el tutorial pero no se ingles.
Muchas Gracias
very nice tutorial, i would enjoy some music during the speed up scenes though c:
A suggestion, put a couple of drops of dish soap in the water, your leather absorbs the water more completely and bends easier so easy the block of wood is not necessary. I have found this works even when you are moulding your Leather around an object. Questions feel free to contact me. ✝️⚾🙃
Thank you for your awesome video. Just a quick sugestion! Put a sound in the timelapses it's easier to digest them! I will subscribe!
You got it! In our upcoming videos, we will definitely make them a little less quiet! Thanks for the suggestion. :-D
You should also mention that you should make sure that the surface of your leather is free of marks or defects before tracing your pattern. If you find any blemishes on the smooth side of the leather, circle them on the opposite side to avoid placing your pattern there.
micksmom2 Absolutely! :-D
awww so cute
i will have to learn how to make this for my sons cards
Keep some D&D spell cards in this. That would be sick.
Neat cardbox, maybe I will have a go at this later to make a gift. What is the music title at the end of this video? I have heard it before and I have never been able to find out where it's from.
How structually sound would this be if I upscaled it? I imagine this could be made big enough for books (For LARPing, for instance) however I worry about the edges falling apart. As someone with experience in leather, what are your thoughts?
marmoolo Leather is super strong and I don't think you'd have any issues of the edges falling apart. The biggest thing is the thickness of the leather. If you want a bag to carry books, you can try using 5 to 7 oz leather. Coming up with a different design on your own would be better as anything that's similar to our pattern would take a ton of leather due to it being all one piece if you're looking for bag size. For a bag with similar styling I would use more rivets to make it that much stronger. Hope that helps!
👍
im not interested in making stuff with leather, nor do i play card games and to be honest have no idea why this video was in my recommended but i still found it really interesting
lol
That's wonderful! Nice job!!
Could you please tell me where I can find the layout?
Daniele Tuttolomondo thanks so much for your interest in our deck boxes! Unfortunately we are not giving away or selling our pattern as we use it for the boxes we sell on Etsy. The point of the video is that you can create your own pattern using EVA foam, yoga mat, poster board, excetera and create one with your own design. Please let us know if you have any further questions! Thanks!
Ok, thank you so much!
Have you tried or considered adding the holes to your template instead of free-handing it? As you were holding the leather with all the holes in it, I was thinking that I would have laid it out on the template and marked the holes there before fastening it together. It might make the second build faster.
Ryan Anderson Sorry Ryan - just saw your msg. We've tried that before, but unfortunately every piece of leather is different (darn cows) even from the same hide. Due to this variation, we've found that punching holes separately on each box keeps a high level of quality. Doing so beforehand can create a crooked box or a box that doesn't line up well due to the differences in leather.
What is the diameter of the rivets?
Thanks a lot for the video.
arwens sword is really beautiful
Christian Huber awesome guys!
This video gives me conflicting feelings, of wanting to feel dominance over my fellow duelists, but I also want my lunch money.
good
is there a link to the template? would like to try my hand at this one, if so pls send it to me thx
I use a low temperature dehydrater.
Green Arrow!
Your adjustable gouge looks different from the Tandy's one, darker and better built. Is it a premium model or something? Thanks for the great video
GBV1436 Thanks for the question! The v-gouge we used in the video can be found here: www.tandyleather.com/en/product/craftool-adjustable-v-gouge
Though, we actually prefer this one now as it is a bit easier and faster to create straighter gouges with the same depth: www.tandyleather.com/en/product/craftool-adjustable-v-gouge-2
Your a monster hunter fan I like you even more for that
When staining the leather, how are the fumes? I know that wood stain fumes can be pretty brutal when used indoors.
Nightfangfox We use water based dye and it's not bad at all. Other stains with different bases can be stronger.
PS I just saw the size of the little box I need something at least 8 inches high and 8 inches around maybe 10 around and 12 High thank you
100% GJ
For leather items like this deck box is it necessary to condition the leather periodically to extend the life of the leather? If so what do you recommend, would the leather new work for maintenance?
Jenny Swenson Yes, Leather New could work, but Neatsfoot Oil is better. In fact, the more you handle the Box, the better it looks because the oils from your hands also help to condition leather over time.
Nice, thank you. What is the thickness of the leather?
4-6 oz :-D
great project. where are you sourcing your hardware from? is it all coming from Tandy?
Yes Sir! All from Tandy :-)
Hi, great Video. One Question. With what material is made the (black) Pattern?
Mi Wenn It's actually a cheap yoga mat. You can also use EVA foam or poster board to create your pattern. :-)
Very good work! Beautiful! Can you provide the plan and dimensions to download? I want do it, but without dimensions, I'm totaly lost!
Thanks!
Hey Douglas! Thanks for your question! Because we sell our boxes, we can't provide you with a pattern/dimensions. Making your own is half the fun! Go ahead and get some cheap yoga mats/eva foam/poster board and do some test boxes before you cut your leather. :-D
Thanks for the fast reply! Understand... sorry for asking the dimensions. It is the rush to have it! hahaha
I'll try and show to my friends! Publicize your work!
Awesome video man! Quick question, what weight of leather did you use for this?
Kevin Mullins About 5-6oz leather
Thanks for the quick reply! I've got a good amount of 11-12 oz leather left over from a previous project and was just curious if I could use that. Guess not though!
Great box. What oz leather did you use. Thank you.
Hey Jason,
Thanks for the question! We use 5-7oz leather.
Best,
Chris and Amanda
Vestri Productions
+Vestri Productions thanks for the reply.
Hey, great video. What weight leather were you using in this video?
Kevin Mullins 4-6 oz ;-)
Hi have you ever tried steaming the final box? I am wondering if it gives it a bit more rigidity. Will try on me next one.
Hey Lukas! Thanks for your comment! Our boxes stay very rigid due to the shaping and drying early on. You could try it if you want - every cow is different though and some hides just aren't the best for box creation. Slightly rigid single shoulders work the best. Best of luck creating!
- Vestri
+Vestri Productions thanks for your reply, i have tried hot water or steam before and it helped. Those were smaller things like phone cases, mugs or wallets. I will let you know how it went with the box. I have a few different hides and a few patterns to try. All the best bro.
+lukas rohulan steam is not good, curled the leather.
lukas rohulan OH NO!!!!! :'( Yeah... heat does weird stuff sometimes. Try just wetting the leather into a shape and letting it dry without heat. :-D
Wouldn't using some strong magnets be a decent idea? It's not going to lock anything in if you shake it rigorously but it should keep everything inside even if you flip it upside down. It'll be less hassle. Great video, btw.
Isaac Try it! :-D There are lots of options on closures you can try.
15:51 staining after 6 pots of coffee lol
