Those look like shit quality

[@merlinsatrom6678]

The boot prints are like a Diresta/Carolina version of a snow angel! So fun to watch!

[@Ngun200]

Love the tools that were used, it's a salute to the people who had previously worked with them and the people who created them ( new and old, tools) plus yourself for keeping them alive, love doing bit of leather work myself. A great process to watch and a fine quality end product.

Just like in manufacturing, jigs and fixtures streamline your process! Nice job, Jimmy “Leatherman” Diresta!

[@davebauerart]

They look good! Smart move to use the negative cut offs for alignment.

[@MattofManyTrades]

Welp, I have a new project for my laser printer and fly press now! That is one of the issues watching Diresta's videos - chocked full of ideas and stuff that I now HAVE to do.

That fly press reminds me of Robby the Robot from Forbidden Planet. Is it just me? Well maybe if it were painted black. Thanks for posting, and thumbs up!

As always a joy, would you be so good as to do a video tour around your workshop, I remember the program when you were under the street. Thank you

[@IlCacciatore66]

Jimmy I clicked I like it even before I saw the video, I already know for sure it will be a good job. Un abbraccio

[@AndTheCorrectAnswerIs]

Ingenious use of the scrap material to make the placement forms. Now you have me thinking of other ways to use that concept. That's why I like you, you're a catalyst.....well, you're a pretty nice guy too. 😉👍

[@jimmydiresta]

[@CallOfCode]

These boots are made for stampin’ and that is what they’ll do 😎

[@tomahoks]

And one these days these boots are gonna stamp all over you.

[@bendavanza]

Killer. Love the use of hand tools and machines. Thin wallets are my favorite. Great style.

[@esiebert7625]

When i first saw this I was like, what the heck is a shoe wallet? Thought it was a wallet for your shoes. Nice craftsmanship!

[@oficinadofurtado]

Good job Jimmy

[@ChrisPowellFSD]

These are awesome. I want to try pressing my logo into some leather.

[@PatLap]

Brilliant! 🥾

[@jackthompson5092]

Very cool. I sure wish I had the tools that you have.

[@hades-vc2kc]

Pure skills 🙌

[@CheveeDodd]

I love this wallet design. It's very similar to the one I carry. I made it about 10 years ago from a design I saw on Kickstarter. It desperately needs replaced. 🙃

[@robertsmithUH60driver]

Thats one nice press.

[@jamisonmahoney3712]

GENIUS!!!!

[@donaldpowell7762]

I was excited for this video when you shared your thought and design process for this wallet in Making It, but it was even better that I imagined. Do you think a bench vice would give enough pressure to do the imprint? I’m sure I could carve negatives in old cutting boards with a rotary tool, right?

[@vinbbbb1]

A bench press should give plenty pressure, especially if your negative isn't crazy big. I apply smaller stamps (~1" diameter) very comfortably by hand. A stamp the size Jimmie is using, I clamped with some F-clamps. A bench vise should be fine as well. I used printing press dies of an old cartoon (3 windows side by side) and some carved shapes in hardwood as well. The wet veg tan leather is really easy to shape, just try any method and there's a good chance it will work ;-)

[@davebauerart]

Wood may show the wood grain of the stamp, which might be a cool effect. I use a few f-clamps or long throat c-clamps and that seems to work.

[@shaharsdechen2537]

cool stuff!

[@michelangelolavagno1963]

Great work...Jimmy are top maker ciao

[@bRad73016]

Those are awesome Jimmy! Will they be for sale on your website at some point?

[@JeffGloverArts]

I wake up on a Saturday morning, grab a cup of coffee and see this before starting my day. Does it get any better? I don't think so! Thanks, Jimmy!

But you forgot to ask the big question, how many direstas does it cost. I mean dollars, ffs its like hypnosis all you see is direstas

[@dukejimjr]

Hello Jimmy! I really, really enjoy your videos. In which video do you make your gaffer boxes?

[@matbell1514]

Thanks for this amazing video! Can i ask what is the material you used for the stamp for laser engraving?

[@TigerCarpenter]

who would have thought it takes so many steps and effort to produce it. it only makes sense to do it in batches, and it still feels very labor intense. the final results are very impressive. I wonder how much they will be going for?

[@MidnightMaker]

Definitely one of your coolest leather projects to date. Would you consider making the files available so we can 3D print our own stamps? Thanks!

[@jimmydiresta]

Sure send email to [e-mail]

[@pimuir]

Jimmy, I love the effort and the outcome on these. How can I say thanks and order one of those great wallets?!

[@johnheyden7277]

I always learn something from your videos....this time it was "you can never have too many clamps"😁

[@pauleugene8286]

Great video. Can I borrow your sewing machine? That thing is awesome. Love the press too.

[@DanielSweden]

Very Cool !

[@marlawhite3682]

very cool!!! great job!! So what was the material u used to make the dies with? What kind of glue u are using? I use the Barge cement.

Gotta say. i am curious what woiuld be on the tool wish list for someone like Jimmy Diresta. When you have an industrial leather press like that lol!! I wonder how much such tools get used on a weekly basis. Super cool.

[@chicagovasko]

The drums they always grab my attention.

[@JackmanWorks]

What is the initial material you started with? The grey stuff that looks like some sort of plastic

[@Torsan1977]

I think he said it was corian. Can't remember if it was on Instagram or on Making it.

[@JackmanWorks]

@@Torsan1977 awesome, that would make sense

[@richardpatterson4312]

I thought it was aluminumand I was thinking, "that's some awesome laser!" On second look it was probably Corian.

[@Nickporter17]

I was wondering the same and guessing it was acrylic. Good to know it's Corian.

[@jimmydiresta]

Yep Corian

[@clementsmallengine4833]

Dude I never knew you could use a laser to engrave aluminum! That's slick!!!
