Love the SD card keyfob. Going to have to try that!

[@stanhegeman8751]

I thought this might be Kay, but she didn’t play guitar to my knowledge. She did, however, train me in leathercraft. I just subbed and am looking forward to seeing more of your meticulous and aesthetically pleasing work. Show us what you got. I look forward to it. Thanks

[@TOTUIA]

Thank you:)

[@webratjen]

Your hands are beautiful. i see the strength, i see the dexterity, i see the skill. i see your pinkie too, and i very much appreciate what you show here

[@MultiFisherofmen]

One more thing, that wheel blade looks like it cuts effortlessly, and seems to be so much safer than my 150 yr old head knife, that has left me with a couple nasty scars over the years. I think I’m going to look into one like you have if the blades are priced reasonably. Do you sharpen the blade, or just replace? Also, I admire your ability to keep a neat and clean workspace, as well maintaining scar free hands. You would be appalled of you or my customers saw my bench .Lol, and my hands literally look like I’ve been working the mines all my life. My lady says they feel like sandpaper.

[@TOTUIA]

😂 I get some scars too! I try to avoid them, but eventually it happens. For the blades, I try to sharp them as much as I can. But at a certain point, I have to replace them. Knives I use have a good price for money, but they are surely not top-quality products. So their blade does not stay sharp forever:)

[@andrewgray9663]

I have found that the wheel type blade is not so good at curved lines but with straight lines it is great. It is particularly good with thin leathers where it is so easy for it to wrinkle even with a sharp blade. The wheel type blade is always exerting pressure straight down. I once brushed this type of knife aside on my bench, not realising that the blade was out. That was a really spectacular cut on the side of my hand, taught me a lesson.

[@dshe8637]

If i get a cut, i use some of that skin glue stuff. It's so much easier than trying to work with sticking plaster on your fingers

[@jamesthe-doctor8981]

The circular blade you’re asking about is super thin and can be honed or polished on a strop several times. However, once it gets dull enough to need actual sharpening I just replace them. They’re not much thicker than a razor or X-acto blade and even just stropping them evenly around all 360° would be very difficult without some kind of guide to hold the sharpening angle. But if you wanted to try stropping one I’d suggest covering the edge of one half and using the same technique you use to strop your head knife, then tape off the other half and repeat.

[@hideteak9098]

@@andrewgray9663 I back my thin leathers with masking tape before cutting. It prevents a lot of stretching :)

[@scottrosenberger8696]

Very nice, and great projects! Well done video as well!

[@TOTUIA]

Thank you sir, really appreciate that:)

[@DD-bs9fo]

Would love a tour of your workshop, it looks really cool!

[@TOTUIA]

Thank you! It looks way better in video than in reality😂

[@whiskeyrichards9973]

Your workshop makes mine look more like a place where perhaps work of some kind had once been done, prior to the "craftsman" loosing his marbles and tumbling down an endless spiral of hoarding various tools and materials that may or may not be useful at some point or time! Haha! Really impressive work and top notch content, kind sir. Good on ya and keep em coming!

[@TOTUIA]

Ehi, don't be so harsh with you!😂 Anyway, thank you very much for your comment!

[@BRODIE7766]

Your workshop… wow. Excellent video! You deserve a lot of attention! Those transitions are great, and the products look very professional. Keep it up!

[@TOTUIA]

Thank you very much, really appreciated:)

[@alyssabaker5368]

Im curious what drive punch you use?? It's so beefy and it looks like you can change out the size punch you're using?

[@MultiFisherofmen]

A guitar pic wallet key chain. Now that is something I never thought of but totally should have.. very nice work also. Liked and subbed

[@TOTUIA]

Thank you, really appreciate that:)

[@silversentinel7916]

If you have a Paul Gilbert pick, you make a nice case for it!

[@oathbreakersbeware9710]

Love that guitar pick case! That looked like an autographed pick too!! Who's autograph and what's that stitch called?!! Im trying to learn it for my work, it looks much better than mine!!!!

[@fordfan3179]

Is that a nut driver handle on the punch bits? Does that produce a cut hole rather then just a punched hole? Is that tool available as a set? (Driver and assorted punch bits)

[@thomasyoder4537]

Could you share the pattern for the SD card key chain?

[@tracymustin194]

I really want that pattern too

[@johnnyc.5979]

I think the snap on the SD card holder will eventually "snap" the SD card after repeated closings. Maybe next time use a magnetic closure, not sure if it will affect the data though.

[@TOTUIA]

Thank you for the comment:) The snap button I used is quite weak, so you don't need to push that hard.. however, good point:)

[@canlelola]

Oh, no, no, no, you could easily break that SD card.

[@andrewgray9663]

You could make the pouch a little bigger to accommodate the little plastic case for the card or you could perhaps take a bit more care. After all, it's an SD card, not a pair of hiking boots.

[@canlelola]

@@andrewgray9663 I think you fail to understand, that it doesn't take too much presser to snap the IC inside of an SD card. Hence using a metal snap, made my skin crawl, I mean you are more then welcome to find out, just make sure you have the data backed up. I had to learn the hard way, as a kid in school, note this was when SD cards where not cheap.

[@andrewgray9663]

@@canlelola Thanks for that. I understand about the fragility of an SD card which is why I suggested that you take care. The back of the metal press stud however is fairly flat and I would think unlikely to prove hazardous. You could always cover the back of the press stud with thin leather if you are going to handle this roughly.

[@TOTUIA]

I agree with what Andrew said. Additionally, the snap I used in this project is quite "soft", you don't need that much pressure to close it. However, thank you very much for the advice, next time I'll try something different:)

[@canlelola]

@@TOTUIA What about the thin layer of plastic and resin, that protects the think silicon wafer, I mean not just closing it but the pouch, but it getting stepped on, or a bit of extra weight placed over the pouch, like a book or what not.

[@damianmorningstar4127]

Where can one learn the craft?

[@TOTUIA]

Hi Damian! KZbin is a good starting point! Then you can look for online masterclasses or go find a local craftsman:)

[@ksal6223]

Where do i get cheap leather ?

[@TOTUIA]

Hi! That's a tricky question, because unfortunately leather is quite expensive. If you are from Europe, look for "belts production".

[@casperskitty3241]

You can sometimes get cheap scrap leather from local leatherworkers. I buy scrap leather from a local saddlery for $3.50/pound. It ranges in size but none of the pieces are large. Maybe I have a couple of pieces big enough for a small journal cover. But lots of pieces for accents and small projects like these.
