[@Reckless917]

Thank you so much for this video!! I got the pattern and made it for myself a couple of days ago!! This being one of my first leather works it's not perfect but it was really easy to follow along!

[@JHLeather]

That's awesome! Well done on completing your first wallet! 👍👍

[@webchez69]

I have been learning to make leather items for one year. Your video is the best start to finish I have ever seen, and I picked up many little secrets from you! You are a natural presenter! Thank you, From New York.

[@JHLeather]

Thank you very much for your kind words 🙂 glad the videos have been helping you 👍

[@marciazamorano3114]

9:21 😊😅

[@johnshutt6895]

Thanks again for your videos on leather works. Great choose on your new grinder. The grinder sound sounds low per video. I am a tool and die maker by trade and I appreciate your trade. You have a nice smile, and I like seeing your dog…

[@terrystearns1196]

Love watching you work... nice very nice.

[@JHLeather]

Thank you 🙂

[@crawford5049]

al ways love watching your work

[@JHLeather]

Thank you Clarence 🙂

[@rrr40]

fannnnntastic very enjoyable a must try thank you very much bravo

[@JHLeather]

Thank you, glad you enjoyed it 🙂

[@RavenLunaticLeather]

Thank you for these. Always a pleasure watching and listening. That hammer you are using to flatten your stitches is beautiful! I hope that will be featured in an upcoming tool time!

[@JHLeather]

Thank you 😁 that hammer is from Weaver Leather Supply 👍

[@RavenLunaticLeather]

@@JHLeather Thank you! I will have to look that up - I am just using an old tack hammer

[@RavenLunaticLeather]

Just took a look on weaver. They have a C.S. Osborne leather working hammer, but it doesn't look like it has the engraving yours does. Was that something you did separately?

[@JHLeather]

My friends got it for me for my 21st birthday which was a good few years ago but I'm sure it was weaver.

[@_Moahan60]

Beautiful

[@brucelutz5699]

if people knew how much work went in . new subscriber, i really like your style & skill

[@JHLeather]

Thank you 🙂

[@claudiobaggi6456]

Bel lavoro!! Complimenti! 👍👍💪💪🌞

[@JHLeather]

Thank you 👍

[@Bogaloo1232]

I love this pattern and I love even more how clear your video is. I want to purchase the file from your site to make my own but I have a question: Can your pdf files with the pattern be opened in Illustrator? I would like to personalize a bit the design and use the pattern to laser cut the design into leather. I'm asking because I don't want to pay for the design only to find out that it can't be opened in Illustrator (It happened to me a while ago with a $35USD pattern :( )

[@DennyKenedy]

This might be the most practical wallet design (imho) I've seen so far. Love it! Thank you for this great tutorial. I've had several "revelations" :D watching it and definitely learned a lot. I have one small (and probably silly) question, if I may. In the beginning, you're transferring some of the patterns onto the flesh side of the leather using a pen (2:37). I was just wondering, is there a reason for that, or is it personal preference? Usually I've seen people transfer the patterns by scratching with an awl onto grain side. Thank you!

[@JHLeather]

The leather that I used to make this wallet has a very prominent grain, and it can be hard to see your lines when on the grain side using an awl. For leather like that, I find it easier to mark on the flesh side 👍

[@alekalek6282]

Super ❤️

[@notafan1275]

Lovely wallet! I really like it because unlike many hand-made ones there's a lot of pockets, so it's one I could actually use 😀

[@JHLeather]

Thank you 😁

[@beckyalbert7624]

What size snap should i order to attach to the coin wallet? you mentioned 6-10 mm hole punch. is that the size of the snaps also?

[@Rose-nx3zd]

Hi, thanks for the great video. I’m wondering if you know if it’s possible to buy a small tin(?) Of the contact adhesive you recommend? I can only find 5 litre tins. Many thanks

[@JHLeather]

I have only ever been able to find the 5L ones I'm afraid

[@samlee2944]

Congrats on the abbey feature Jo, very well deserved! Where did you get that lovely hammer from?

[@JHLeather]

Thank you Sam 😊 I was given it as a birthday present ages ago and it was from Weaver but, looking the other day for someone else who asked, they don't seem to stock it anymore 😞

[@samlee2944]

@@JHLeather thanks Jo, ah never mind! I see George Barnsley have recently released some nice new tools, hopefully a few new hammers are to come as well!

[@dmack1827]

So, leather craft, sailing and mountain biking. All my favourite things. I may have missed the leather choice. Is it goat-skin?

[@JHLeather]

It's pig skin leather 👍

[@ElliottRodgers]

@@JHLeather Mmmm bacon wallet!

[@JHLeather]

🤣🤣

[@jameslawrence9167]

If I don't want the note section, can I just add another layer to the inner wallet to cover the stitching of the card pockets? I need to find a pattern that is for a few cards and a coin pocket and this is a close I can get to what I'm after. Cheers

[@JHLeather]

Yes you can just stitch the inner section and outer together fully and thus get rid of the notes section

[@jackbusiness7879]

Noon question. Why is glue used when it is being stitched anyway? I see it is common to use glue but don’t know why. Thank you for the awesome vid 🙏

[@JHLeather]

It's to hold everything where it needs to be so you can accurately mark it and stitch it 👍

[@michelepiscopo752]

Si può saper da dove scarichi i PDF o file dei cartamodelli? Grazie.

[@alfredocastanedahuazo8571]

Hola que tal!! Una pregunta en qué página o en donde podría yo comprar por lo menos la herramienta básica para comenzar a trabajar la piel te agradezco mucho que estés bien un abrazo bye

[@JHLeather]

Hola, pronto haré un video sobre todas las herramientas que uso y dónde conseguirlas, lo que debería ayudarte 🙂

[@kirt_6509]

How many millimeters is your leather edge creasing tool ?

[@JHLeather]

I generally use 1.5 mm 👍

[@Educationalinfo-dt6oe]

What type of leather you have used in making this wallet

[@JHLeather]

All the information is included in the information pack with the patterns.

[@karem9605]

I would like to buy a wallet like that for my husband who carry a bunch of coins always

[@amarsam2484]

simple à dire , le cuir coûte la peau des fesses 😁

[@insaafofficial853]

I want the patterns plz can you send me???

[@user-yd2eu1jq9y]

What did this machine do for him

[@user-yd2eu1jq9y]

What does this yellow _he aded machine do???

[@johnnyc.5979]

You know it's easier to print to card stock directly instead of printing to regular paper, then gluing to cardstock. You eliminate a step, and personally I never liked the glue sticks as they always seem to dry out when I need them.

[@JHLeather]

It sure is but, the only card I have is A1 sized so won't fit into my printer....

[@oliverwalters9533]

@@JHLeather you could trim it down to A4 size

[@Bryen12]

I love your skin ❤
