Dear Craftsman Gus, That was an amazing video! I was very much interested in full grain leather wallet especially custom made for someone's requirements. Gone across lot of bifold wallet making videos on UA-cam and brands like Saddleback Leather and happen to see yours finally and amazed to see there are people exists in the world with same tastes and style quotient... Giving 101% grade for you bifold wallet, for the craftsmanship and styling. Did some research on the internet and found that you're from Thailand. Hats off! I'm from India and I would like to put my hands on a Craftsman Gus bifold wallet...
Thanks Lenin Dev. I will try to make leather crafts videos more n more variety type. And hope you enjoy. :) Cheers for India, I wish I'll take a visit sometimes in the future.
Sincere question for anyone that can answer. Craftsmangus said to another commenter that .8mm leather was used on the pockets and 1.2mm is used on the back. My question is, are these different thicknesses coming from the same hid or is a different hide used for the back of the wallet and a different hide used for the pockets. Or is the same hide used and the leather thinned for the pockets ORRRR is the hide measured for variations in the thickness and the thin .8mm portion used for pockets and the thicker part 1.2mm used for the back? What is the practice when making wallets?
It can be from the same hide or not. All of this leather has been “split” at some point to its current thickness, as no natural cowhide is going to be only 1.2 mm thick. Splitting is done on a big machine not unlike a planer for wood, but it’s likely that Gus is buying the leather already split as such machines are vastly expensive.
I use 1.5-1.8 mm. for the outside (about 4 oz) and for the inside I use 0.8-1.0 mm (about 2-3 oz). I use Graphene contact adhesive from local brand in Thailand "Bondtech", very good one.
what kind of glue do you use? is there any kind of particular adhesive products that needs to be used for leather or I can essentially use any clear glue? thank you!
That was a great video. Just one question for you. What material was that you use for your templates? I can't find anything that thick so far. I'll be looking forward to you next video Thanks Frank
Hi Frank Saar. Sorry, me English is not quite fluent. But which template do you mean? If you mean the pattern, I print on normal A4 paper and paste on card board paper.about 0.5 mm.thick.
Been watching your videos like crazy lately, I’m curious what you finished your leather with in the end of the video? Also would you be willing to sell me the plans for this style wallet I would love to make it.
Sir why you use awl through the leather after you punch it？why you do not punch through leather directly？one more step ，what is the purpose of that extra step（use awl though leather）？i hope you could answer me thanks！！！
Most of the time I punch half weight (most of the time I use slanted European style pricking iron). But as in this video for that part you've seen I punch on the top layer but the second layer I awl again. Main idea is to make the small wound as possible. (the stitch in the back side are different). Just my personal preference. From people around me don't like to make this. I'm quite like to work slow.
Dear CraftsmanGus, Greetings! I would like to buy the same kind of wallet showing in this video. Please let me know where can I buy this online... Warm Regards

Joe Bruno its not a tutorial though. Just making the wallet. You can buy pattern on his etsy. Be reasonable.
How much for one
For the leather goods you can check the price here. etsy.me/2AVRE3J
For pattern it's about 10 USD here etsy.me/2Bx6vTe
You could tell me what the computer program used for the patterns is called. Thank you very much.
I use CAD software.
You can find lots of CAD software in the internet like AutoCAD with payment plan or other freeware.
