The “Muddy” Mackenzie!
Making the Mackenzie minimalist wallet, step by step.
Prior to construction, however, I’ll try to kick start the patina / aging processing. I estimate I can tack on a few months of aging at the onset, but no more.
I don’t want much more than that, because the very act of leather aging tells its own story. I’m not looking for a completely fake story. My goal is simply to get it started right out of the gate. Give it a head start, if you will.
Natural patina will develop over time when it absorbs and displays the world around it. Dust, dirt, water, oils, sunlight, blue jean denim dye, etc.
In all, I applied:
- Dirt
- Coffee
- Bourbon
- Maul’s Balm (almond oil, coconut oil, hempseed oil, Shea butter, cocoa butter, beezwax)
- Neetsfoot oil

By far the best UA-cam leather maker in my opinion - great craftsmanship, helpful tips/tools, and very entertaining as well. You must have been ‘stuck’ in OBX - glad you’re back - thanks!
😆 thanks so much for that! I appreciate your support. I was stuck somewhere. Can’t even recall where.
I love that after 2 years, the YT bots never managed to catch that "Ms. September" pic lol. Bro, you're vids are awesome and you make everything look almost effortless! I'll get there one day.
😆 ms. Sept.
Thanks for the kind words!
Best aging method I have ever seen !!! But ooooh momma gonna be mad about her measuring cup. Great video keep em coming
Omg. She saw that scene during editing and said, “is that my measuring cup!!!”
Excellent work as always. That “patina potion” worked great! 🤙🏼
Thank you for that! I’m going to be carrying this wallet myself. I’ll keep tabs on the patina as time goes by
Classic Mascon!! Thanks for the return to UA-cam and making our day!!!
Thanks again for watching And commenting!
Wow how your mind works the patina process is so creative, Thanks for another video and sharing!
Thanks’!!
You have done it again Artie. Great video👍😊
Thanks! And thanks for watching!
Awesome work man. Your patterns never stop 🤣🤣
Thank you! And I appreciate you taking the time to comment!
Wonderful ... and instructive video, I'm glad to see you here again after having us grounded for two months :D
Thanks! The support is appreciated! More coming soon. Stay tuned.
I bet that's going to look even better after it for real patina's... I don't want to "steal" this idea, but I sure would like to give it a try.
Do it !
Amazing craftsmanship 💯
Thank you for that!
Brilliant. Do a shop video ! Your Set up is well thought out.
Thanks!!! I may do a shop video soon
Keep them coming! Good stuff
Thanks!! More coming!
Love your shit man your killing it…
Thanks!! And thanks for watching!
Very cool I like it thanks !
Thanks!
Another amazing item and awesome content as always. 🤙
Thanks!!
Thanks for watching!!
Nice leaf logo👍
If i had all the bourbon I've seen you spill, I could tie one on
😆
Nice design! It's great to see another video from you. I hope you're doing well!
Thank you!!! We’re all doing well. Stay safe!
Another way to help with the patina is get some tea light candles and some felt. (I picked this one up from Tony See). It's works great too..
👍
Yep! There are 1,000s Of ways for sure. I just used what was here and easy.
@@MasconLeather I carry the prototype of my Maximus Wallet around with me as my daily. SInce it was done when my stitching skills were horrible. It went from a light brown to a darker brown, but the patina is beautiful. And that was just with six months of being in my pocket while I work my day job.
Exactly!!! A few months in a denim pocket and daily use. Perfection.
Very good work...👏👏
Thanks for that!
Add a touch of your favourite scent profile to the mauls balm and you have beard balm!...identical carrier group!
Really?!? Thanks !!
You're awesome
Continue bro 💪
Thanks!
Good job 👌
Thanks! And thanks for watching!
Excelente trabajo
Thanks!!
С 14.28 очень красивый кошелёк)))))
English translation?
Adding patina. Nice.. 🤟
Thanks !!
Love your work. Great "aging". Interested in the Dremel tool you use. The one you have listed in your Amazon storefront shows a "cord". Any other recommendations? Thank you.
@UC0-AiIedBCWQZrh5uE9959w Thank you! :)
@UC0-AiIedBCWQZrh5uE9959w I tried going to you "Direct to Amazon storefront" but couldn't find it there. Sorry that I am having trouble finding it. :(
Awesome work as usual, always wondered, what product are us using when you slick the back of your leather?
Thanks!!! Video coming soon on that trick
Hello!
What kind of black pen did you use for th edges?
Thanks
Aaron
I just came across your channel; fantastic work! At around 2:15 you apply something to the flesh side of the leather...what are you using? And it is it just to burnish that side a bit?
Thanks for watching! Yes, it's to make the back side smooth and "pretty".
@@MasconLeather Thank you for getting back to me. Would you mind sharing what product you are using for that?
The forced patina turned out awesome! What's the tool you use to mark your stitch line and what's the measurement between the stitch line and the edge of the piece?
Thanks!! I just use a compass to mark the line. And the distance changes depending on the item and size
Bump jig.... all sold out on the provided web site. Any other name they are called by? Can't find anything on Amazon. Thanks in advance.
I invented them. Trademarked name. Etc.

thanks! Japanese cutting mat
@@MasconLeather thanks
Top !👌
Thanks!!
Where did you get that monster stitching chisel? I've never seen anything like it before, I have to have it! lol
I had them custom made. 5 mm and 6 mm.
Its made by Kevin Lee i belive
Even the dog is looking at you wondering why you have momna`s good measuring cup full of dirt.
This a true statement. 😆
What was that tool you used to help the crease ? Thing looked like it works real well ! Please and thank you !
V-gouger
I’m just gonna say thanks for the info !
I know you say this is in another video but i cant find it. Can you tell me what is the white stuff you put on the leather in the beginning?
I haven’t said it in any video yet. It’ll be revealing it soon in a video
Okay thanks!
why so few subscribers? its like im watching the Jimmy Diresta of leathercraft stunning work as well and you can bet i will be checking out some of your tools :)
Thank you for that!! Feel free to share the channel to 100,000 of your friends and we can get to Diresta status some day. 🤘👍
Hey!! What are the stitching irons and the SPI? Thanks
Kevin Lee made them. I don’t do spi. I do the more traditional Asian method of measuring. Space between tips. 5mm on this set. Covert via google.
Howdy from Germany - glad I've found your channel ;) Now, besides your great work, one question tho: Where the heck do you get this monster prong? 16 teeth or so? Thanks dude!
Thanks for watching!!! 15 teeth. Custom made by Kevin lee.
@@MasconLeather Thanks once more 😎 thought something like that since I haven't found anything comparable, and Ive been looking really everywhere 😁 keep up the great work mate!
Thank you for watching!!
What was the thing you used to clean the Dremel sandpaper? I got a billion replacements of Amazon just curious it seemed to work really well.
Wax maybe?
Sanding eraser block. I cut a chunk off. Like crepe soles. See my website tools page for a link.
Just added the link in the video description
Ill be shopping soon....sold the cottage property$$🤘
Ill be shopping soon....sold the cottage property$$🤘
What brand are those edge bevelers? Like the shape of them
Barry king. 👍
Every video you inspire me 💕.
Could you tell me what's the tool in 14:01
Thanks for watching!! The tool is a modeling spoon
@@MasconLeather 💕🌷💕
👍
You inspire me, could be a nice hobby for me, but I don't understand the leather work :( Turkey is very good in leather and textile, I think if I joined the work-shop will be fine
Have fun!!
What did you use to clean the sand paper?
It’s a sanding eraser.
what plier tool are you using at 11:00 to squeeze the leather?
Amy Roke brand leather pliers
@@MasconLeather Thank you
Hi,
What is the name of the tool set at 7.55.... and where can I get it please.
Arc jigs.
Here: zeebeeleather.com/shop/mascon-amp-zeebee-nesting-arc-jigs
What is the tool you are using to squeeze the leather together after glueing?
Amy Roke leather pliers
@@MasconLeather Thank you!
Any time!
sorry, I watch you mostly from my phone. I would like to know the name of the tool that you use to remove the finish from the face of the skin
That’s a leather rougher. My son makes them.
Where did you get your little plastic doll???
Olivia. She was found on eBay. But not easily.
Mascon Leather thanks
Where in the heck do you get 15 prong stitching chisels?!
I had them custom made. 👍
I lv yr place
Thank you! And thanks for watching!
Long time no see.👍
Right ? Back on track!
Очень нравится Ваша стилистка. Где то можно взять ваши выкройки?
Translation- “I like your stylist very much. Where can I get your patterns? “
Thank you for the kind words! I don’t sell my designs.
Мне просто для себя, я не занимаюсь этим на продажу, это так сказать для души, максимум для друзей. На продажу у меня не получается ничегошеньки
Translation- “I just do it for myself, I do not do it for sale, so to speak, for the soul, maximum for friends. I can't sell anything”
Perfect!! Design is half of the craft.
))), ясно. Тогда 1 вопрос думаю это не тайна, какую кожу используете, поищу у нас в Екатеринбурге такую же или максимально похожую и какой толщины
Translation- “))) is clear. Then 1 question, I think it's not a secret, what kind of skin you use, I'll look in Yekaterinburg for the same or as similar as possible and what thickness”
Horween Dublin leather. Cow. 5/6 oz
I no longer just set my pencil down... I hear the sound every time I open a drawer or close a cabinet. My wife is mad at me for breaking two dishes while making dinner, I threw them on the countertop too hard.
👍🏻Yeah!
Thanks for watching!!
ps.....Im a bourbon fan
But THIS scotch has zero peat and is truly Nectar Of The Gods. Fresh cut pear, red apple and honey...touch of warm oak
AULTMORE 12yr

🌷🌷🌷🌷
Thank you!
12:37 This strip of leather could have become a watch strap, to match the wallet 😸
👌👍👍👍👌
Thanks!
Be more carful that was a waste of good bourbon.....Guess I'm going to have to try some aging of leather now.
😆
12:26 that's alcohol abuse!
Regardless, beautiful work as always...
😆 thanks !!
Ma tu lo fai come hobby ho come lavoro?
English translation?
How much of a perfectionist are you when making something?
Too much.
Oh thank God. It seems effortless. In the videos, dude. I know speeding it up plays a part but still.
You're my favorite maker to watch please keep it up! Lol
These are the best comments to read. Thanks !!
Лифаки отвлекают.
Translation? Something is distracting? 😆
LOVE the new intro!! It's bad ass!! Really cool aging method as well. You've been a huge inspiration in my leather crafting journey and would love for you to check out my work. I;m just getting started but would love any feedback you could provide. You can find me in Instagram at Krebs.and.co. Thanks, have a good one!!
Thanks for watching!!! I’ll check it out!
I like when you explain the process, though. Please do talk, next time
My newer videos. I talk a lot. Too much maybe. 😆
@@MasconLeather I did watch one with you talking. And you explain really well without redundancies so please keep em coming cause you're very good.
Awe. Perfect!!! There a handful more. Talking. Be forewarned. Lol
@@MasconLeather thanks for sharing your craft. And thanks to your wife who lets you use her measuring cups for you to put dirt in them
