Can I Recreate this Vintage Leather Wallet?!

This is only the second full length "build" video I've produced since my wife suddenly became ill last sept (2022). In March of this year, she was diagnosed with stage 4 cancer. We lost our battle with cancer on 6/6/2023. Just four months ago.
The support I received in the comments of the last video (Aug, 2023) was more than I expected and appreciated beyond what I could ever express in words here.
As I said before, she would have wanted me to continue making these videos, so I'm doing as she'd have wished.
You'll likely notice "her" and memoribelia throughout the video. Not only is her photo on my workbench, but I feel she is there with me, as well.
If you'd like to help our family, there is a "Go Fund Me" account set up in my wife's name.
Here: www.gofundme.c...
Thank you for watching and support our family!!

In this video, I'll show you how I remade the “Number 1” Mason 26 wallet. That wallet was made for my son, and carried daily for 2+ years.

Hmm, I might start using rivets on my wallets! My saddle stitching is still ugly to me! LOL! GREAT video, thanks!

[@MasconLeather]

I have a video on saddle stitching. 😉

@@MasconLeather I've watched it a couple times. It's a great one. I just need to practice more or I'm just being overly critical! But I also love how clean and "strong" the rivets look!

[@СергейКарбон-к8ъ]

I signed from Ukraine. Thanks to you, I learned to work with rulers very conveniently, most importantly quickly. doesn't take up time without markings. it took a long time with the pencil... what can be used in place of toconol at home to come up with toconol is very expensive. Thanks, I tried wallpaper glue, but it didn't work.

[@MasconLeather]

Haven’t found a suitable tokonole alternative yet

If you don't have the smaller burs, you can also use some small scrap leather or rubber spacers and a little extra elbow grease.

[@romanfoster3820]

I only just discovered your videos. I am absolutely amazed. You make it sound easy and look easy -- best yet it really is that easy. What took me about 2 days to make one wallet, I did one of the templates from your channel and it only took about 3 hours with a laser cutter.

[@BigDawgLeather]

Beautiful work

good afternoon Artie, I would like to know what's in the jar that you brush around the edges of product with before you apply mud and burnish ? thank you

HI! Could you please show which kind of leather do you use, some like title, which tannery, thickness and so one.... If you already did this kind of video, drop the link please!

[@shrinkinglindy]

Hey brother been watching your videos for awhile. They really inspire me to get better at my craft. First off I wanted to say I'm very sorry to hear about your wife and I love that you're continuing the videos to honor her wishes. I've only been crafting for a couple months now. I'm not great but, getting better I hope :). I've copied several of your designs. Or at least tried to for practice. I bought some of the Horween Dublin and I kind of struggle with the beveling of it because it isn't real stiff. I use a cheap Amazon beveller though. I know you use Barry King bevellers so I went and checked out his site. I got really confused. He has about 10 different bevellers listed. I don't know which kind to get. I just want a smooth rounded edge. If you could point me in the right direction I would greatly appreciate it. Thanks and Great Job on the video and wallet as usual!!!

[@Alex-ib6tm]

Could you do a video about your design process?

[@mitchblackmore5230]

Great video as always. I just have one question...where did you get that tree that grows watches? 😁

[@MasconLeather]

😆 I have 3 of them. I made them.

[@jackweber4768]

Always makes me happy when I can start the day with a new Mascon video! Like a kid on Christmas LOL. Great job as always!

[@MasconLeather]

Awe !!! Thank you!!

[@rsilva281]

So true, Lol! I'm always checking to see what he's done new when I don't see a video. 😂😅🤙🏽

[@tjkoker]

I really enjoy watching you work. Question: What camera and light do you use to film your video. Its so spot on. Again, great stuff. Peace. Tom

[@MasconLeather]

Thanks !! All iPhone / iOS / iPad / etc

[@robertpelak1061]

Awesome design! What is the purpose of the tokonole on the flesh side?

[@Doogie_reframed]

Mr. Mascon, i was curious about designing wallets using rivets. How much extra space on the side compared to stitches do you add? So, if i had a design that was made with stitches. How mich extra would you add if you wanted to use rivets?

[@MasconLeather]

Depends on rivets used. Need to do it on paper first. 👍

[@ccrepinssek]

Great video, thank you for sharing! 🍀 Have you ever considered making/sharing a designing video? 🤷
