I made a Tiny Briefcase for Business Cards

[@JackGladstoneHolroyde]

Any chance of getting the pattern for this since it's not on Weavers site any more?

[@davebolthouse3989]

Your freehand cutting is that of a master craftsman. I can’t imagine how many hours you have put into your craft

[@offkilterleather9248]

If you want to have some fun with this, add a tiny handle to the top and make it into a true briefcase for your business cards!!

[@Corter]

you totally could! that'd be adorable haha

[@mindyhall4638]

That is a great idea to this already awesome design; what would you make the handle out of?

[@offkilterleather9248]

@@mindyhall4638 It would be pretty easy to just use a strip of veg tan and a few rivets.

[@glpzdmd9259]

It would make luxury companies want to add this to their collection if it would have that handle, just like what they do with their current big bag line ups, they make a mini version of those too. Like a crossbody accessory

[@smerglederf3494]

Your channel inspired me to finally start leatherworking! Started watching around a year ago and just recently got some starter supplies. Thank you for your content, I'm sure I'll end up buying from your website to support the channel.

[@EZCreepin]

No matter how easy or difficult the project, I still love watching these videos. Always motivates me to develop a new design or start another project.

[@Steglos]

Thank you for existing! I just started working leather and I've been watching your videos only for a couple of days. Working on my third project and already huge improvments. I got almoast all necessery tools. Some second hand and some new. A metal ruler is one of the new but I could not find one with cork or anti-slip backing for a decent price/shipingtime, so I glued a piece of scrap leather to the backside of the new ruler. Works great. Probably been done before but I wanted to share :)

[@toastyspud]

This is so cuute. This would make a great fathers day gift!

[@erikerik509]

Very good project, looks great

[@piro_the_cat]

I really love tiny objects. I been doing tiny wallets lately and it'ss so cute and satisfying when you put all the stuff in. (Love your channel, I see yours videos while hand sewing and is pretty cool working with other person that is working too)

[@jaxondunn2863]

Hey corter, you’ve really helped me start my leather working journey and these tutorials and tip videos really have helped me get better. I even have a business. And I was wondering if we could get this pattern since it’s no longer on Weaver?

[@bijasatterlee5725]

cute! Makes me want to try hand stitching - great video!

[@slicksport2000]

A nice little card holder. Like it 👍

[@annamoan2107]

What you can do is cut out 2 or 3 tiny triangles out of the round part, the gusset part, on the small side piece. That way you will get less awkward and fidgety folds. That is what I did when I didn't know how to skive, and still do it now because it ends up much easier and cleaner.

[@dpinel9682]

I was actually thinking about doing something like that. I think I will use this pattern and maybe add a pocket for holding the company's credit card. Thanks for giving the pattern for free.

[@carlak.5346]

Oh! This such a cool idea

[@cornbreadfedkirkpatrick9647]

Hey

[@joelittle3947]

Good morning. Please can we have the pattern?🙏 Very nice piece of work!

[@VRRother]

Your video was fascinating! I know nothing about working with leather, but it looks like a wonderful skill.

[@leshatklin2857]

Nice, simple, effective design. i will make a few of these for my business and crafter friends. However, I might attach the male snap to the body before gluing it to the liner, to prevent indenting any of the cards.

[@moi712]

Did you end up making this? Any chance you still have the pattern? Would like to make this myself, unfortunately the pattern is gone

[@Prime-808]

Stunning.

[@instagamrr]

Where is the pattern for this? I checked your website but couldn’t find it.. thanks!

[@justinrodgers9477]

Nice job

[@ryanpettet4601]

I ordered a bottle hook and wallet a month ago, can’t wait for them to come in :)

[@raylarkin5004]

That is a classic, especially if you add a little handle as Offkilter leather suggested👍🏼

[@heddaacevedo]

Simple but very useful ...❤️❤️❤️ love it...

[@11thShadowDragon]

I REALLY like this project! It's fun, it's got versatility, and it's small. Putting it down to try once I get into leatherworking someday xD

[@markb3129]

Another great project!! ✌

[@maulden2010]

Good stuff brother! Thanks for quality video, both visually and informationally!!

[@dan__________________]

With the leather rougher, if you use your ruler as a guide it makes it much easier.

[@Corter]

that's a great tip, thank you! I'm new to that tool, it seems like it'll be a big help though :)

[@AllenSpector]

Great project. I would add a card slot on the back, too.

[@ianthomas3653]

those gusseted sides always give me a hard time. My fingers hurt watching this, and then i realized I have never glued the gusset in prior to stitching. Now I need to try it.

[@Corter]

they give me a hard time too! my hands are just too big for stuff like that, I've learned over time to not worry about the edges being perfectly even and then sanding away the excess- once it's all together and sanded it always looks nice. Getting it all together tho - glue is a savior!

[@stansmith1911]

For me the edge is the hardest thing to do. I do a lot of sanding then burnishing. Yes you are right, it takes a lot of attention.

[@anmlvr05]

Hello, I found you channel few days ago, and I am totally inspired now. I am very interested at DIY. Problem is, that leather is so expensive for me. Please can you help me and hint me some cheaper material for begin. Some syntethic leather or something like that. I want to learn basic techniques and after that I can buy real leather. Thank you so much. PS: Sorry for my English, is not my natural language.

[@heathalbritton]

Good gracious this was a pain in the rear to make! It should have come with a warning haha..I'm just using some scrap oil tan leather thats probably too thick for this anyway. A good project to practice though.

[@agentcovert]

Just an observation..I checked each link below and there is NOT a pattern for this design..the Weaver link is only a link to buy Super Overpriced items..Crazy 10x to 20x the price else where..Sad really because I enjoy your channel but You lose creditability by reccomending such a company that preys upon customers you send over to them..plus Zero Pattern for this design at Weavers..Thanks again for your great video tutorial as usual..

[@BigFreakinTexan]

Dang... kinda harsh. You don't have to buy their products. I'm assuming he partners with them. Can't blame a guy for trying to make a living.

[@Corter]

The first link in the description leads you to this page: www.weaverleathersupply.com/catalog/cp_/shop-by-project/corter-leather/wallets/leather-briefcase-wallet To the right of the embedded video on that page there is a link that says "Free Wallet Pattern". That is your free wallet pattern. To your point about Weaver's prices, I'd be interested to know what products you see that they are charging 10-20x the price for elsewhere. Weaver has one of the best reputations in the entire industry, which is why we reached out to them four years ago (they did not reach out to us) and have been working only with them since. Their tool lines offer the best quality for the price by far, so please let me know where you see price gauging. That's a big claim. Thanks.

[@agentcovert]

@@Corter Okay,Okay..I admit that claim is a bit excessive, and perhaps a bit harsh to stress the point..but seriously the leather materials are in fact grossly over priced..such but noy limited to that pig skin at $37.99 when several other companies charge $9.99 with some of them then giving a free skin at a $9.99 price.. So yes the small hand tools are priced okay but the larger tools and machines are in fact crazy expensive.. Examples such as the powered burnisher for $900.usd..lets be real about it, its a $40 mini bench grinder at best with the burnishing attachments on it..its a very common theme with there larger tools and machines..like their $1600.usd hand powered sewing machine that was a Italian machine painted blue that used to sell for $200.usd before Weaver bought the rights to it..You have a great channel I just disagree with the business practices of your sponsor..Thats it..Best wishes my friend..

[@Corter]

I think what you might be speaking to is a difference in quality - the bench grinders for example, you're paying a premium for a good product. That's why we show how to hand sand most things for the hobbiest. In my full-time shop I've had their power edge slicker for 9 years used daily with zero maintenance and it's never even blinked in use. thousands and thousands of pieces have been sanded and slicked on it, I Burnt out 3 of those $40 harbor freight grinders before I bought it. I understand there are cheaper versions of what they sell for sure! but i think for the quality they offer, with the warranty support etc the prices are more than fair in a professional, full time leather workshop especially considering they make most of their presses and such in house in the USA. They're certainly going to last a long time for anyone looking to buy equipment in the hobby that will last as well.
