Making a Leather Notebook Case By Hand

[@oR1GlNaL]

Love the work! Got a wallet for Christmas and gave a bottle hook for one.. Thanks for the videos it inspires me to want to create beautiful leather pieces like yours.

[@Corter]

Hey Nathan, you won! The new upload today will show the screen shot but I thought I'd reply to you here - can't find a way to contact you, so shoot me an email and we'll get this case sent off to you! ContactCorter at gmail dot com

@Lewis Frank Instablaster :)

[@lewisfrank7117]

@Ralph Alaric i really appreciate your reply. I got to the site on google and I'm in the hacking process now. Takes a while so I will reply here later when my account password hopefully is recovered.

[@lnstinct]

That pen closure strategy is to die for! Hoping your cuuute kitties will make a cameo one of these weeks ; )

[@cdfont1962]

I am new to leather working and spend hours every day watching videos from everybody I can find. I love yours because you don’t talk through the entire process, but are still very educational at the same time. Thank you

[@iamu2247]

Even the presentation of this video was a work of art... thank you for sharing this.

[@brandonjeanes9825]

Love leathercrafters like this, taking their time to perfect a product instead of just throwing something together. Great work

[@caseyhassett2545]

Corter Leather is the go to leather goods for me.

[@Moufflette]

I love your videos that make it seem so clear and simple. As a true blue newbie at trying this, I appreciate having your great videos around to learn it well. Thank you for your time!

[@almalauha]

This turned out very nicely, thanks for sharing!

[@bbrachman]

Clever design. Very nice looking also.

[@gall_blader_works]

Brilliant. I love how the pen holder doubles as the lock. Cheers.

[@sfkid57]

i love studies people and find what i believe is two of you, man and woman. great work and ideas and very old school tools and some new school. all silent no talking but sounds of work. using water from the rain outside , by your logo of two fishing hooks and the weather you show. i am thinking a old fishing village that maybe is not such a fishing village anymore. sewing by hand with no stitching pony and it looks like you use one needle at a time. just very interesting to watch and learn and try and figure who is doing the work. i believe it is both of you at different times. please keep the videos coming and thank you. rob

[@LaylaMChow]

Just beautiful and thoughtful design of not losing the pen!!

[@houghwhite411]

That lock is pretty clever

[@capiland1234]

I watched most of your videos and I really like them including the details of video edit works.

[@springtreeroad4419]

I could watch this 100 times, and I probably will. Learning to make things with leather is my plan for 2018 and I am so excited to get started! Your videos are wonderful & I really appreciate you taking the time to make them.

[@Corter]

Get to it! We'll have a new video every Tuesday from here on out, and we've got big plans for tutorials and patterns in as we get the whole filming thing down. It's a super fun hobby :)

[@springtreeroad4419]

I will! As soon as January hits. I'm making a short list of supplies and tools I need to get now. Can't wait! & I still want to see you make something blue... :)

[@Moufflette]

Same here. I'm presently gradually gathering my tools, looking forward to using them by watching a real pro at teaching this. Thank you!

[@keithcronk7980]

Corter Leather YALL GOT ME GOING TO DO IT. IAMM BUYING OLD PURSES& JACKETS& BOOTS RIPPING THE LEATHER OFF AND BELTS IAM READY TO START JUST NEED A TOOL LIST FROM YOU & THANK YOU .

[@joeofnotrades]

That is the perfect leather note book design 👌

[@danhoward7654]

Love your video. Learning a lot, think I might try leathercraft myself.

[@neppybynature]

Great design for the pen!

[@CountMarkula]

Incredible work, I’m drooling. Can’t wait for these to come out!

[@jonasgriggs]

Killer video, makes you appreciate the time spent on your product

[@irishguy13]

Nice design and nicely filmed/edited.

[@paulj3653]

Really like the design. Very functional and looks lovely. Thanks for the video. Very good.

[@victorracoir3]

Thank God a great channel about leatherworking!

[@Lu__chador]

I love your products! I've had a bottle hook for the last 5 years and have introduced them to all my family members who appreciate good craftsmanship!

[@aaronwrphillips]

Love to have that beautiful notebook case. Thanks for the great videos!

[@hugogarcia4402]

Corter, great introduction to, tool use for a newby in the leather craft... amazing products. Hope to make the leather mousepad my firts project.

[@ForeverStrong45]

nicely made! I really appreciate well made leather products.

[@oardi]

So great. I plan to getting started into leather crafting because of your videos 🤙🏼

[@Jason_Taverner]

That is a product I might be able to use and give as gifts. I'd love to see a belt making video even if there isn't as much happening stitchwise, just so I could show my friends where the belts I wear and have on order come from.

[@MrSunningen]

Great Work! Really cool to watch the process of making stuff by hand

[@Ricoy888]

This is truly a master craftsman!! Im in awe. Great job!!

[@ginstone8140]

I love all your work, it's made to last a lifetime!

[@petersmedley459]

Very smart closure, practical, simple and elegant! Really like that detail.

[@richwilliams2813]

Love my Field Notes notebook. Would love to have a quality case for them!

[@williamjones9766]

Beautiful craftsmanship

[@mikeswaim2670]

Very nice field note cover, maybe the best I've seen. Nice work on the video also, I like it.

[@thederrick1966]

Very nice i got to try to make one of these

[@matthewlewis8738]

Keep the videos coming. Very interesting and artistic. Love your work!

[@furrdogg6973]

I would love to see more video like this! Relaxing, really.

[@Corter]

New video every Tuesday! Thanks mate

[@furrdogg6973]

Corter Leather sweet! Subscribed, and notifications turned on 👍

[@dpeycadi4101]

I have been waiting for you guys to make a field notes case. For sure first day buy for me.

[@911rsq]

Beautiful work as always. Yours are some of my favorites to watch!

[@chaseschallen1508]

Never seen anybody so skilled with an X-acto knife! also, dying at 4:06... "TO THE BURNI--"

[@michelangelo3307]

I love your products! Thanks 4 your videos

[@jcov93]

Awesome videos! Been carrying one of your wallets for almost a year now, love it!

[@willie_mccoy]

Pen lock. Just brilliant. :)

[@saschamohr2499]

Super cool. Nice work. Thanks for sharing.

[@griffinsweet4109]

Totally rad. Great craftsmanship and awesome idea!

[@hamishsloane]

I love these videos you have been making, its so awesome to see how you make the amazing work that you produce!

[@jacksclevername]

That's fantastic! I just got into the hobby and would love to be able to build one of those. Winning one would be sweet too!

[@craigschaffer828]

Great video. It’s fun to see things come together!

[@thefin9]

Will definitely try making one! Thanks for the inspirational videos you've been producing!

[@Corter]

I'm sorry what do you mean by invest? This was an order for a company, they hired us to make these. This is also very much a saddle stitch, there are many ways to saddle stitch besides the traditional awl & pony method. We use both, we hand cut some pieces and die cut some pieces.

[@chrishaynes4430]

Love your work. I'm a novice leathercrafter and your videos are very educational for me. Do you guys have a PDF pattern available I looked on your website but didn't notice one

[@monusbrewer4911]

Do you make bigger versions of this? That is a sweet design.

[@SumD-EGuy]

Awesome design. Would be cool as a passport holder. Love the way the pen closes it all in.

[@seanbrown3512]

Cool Video. I really like watching the workflow.

[@kwkstar]

I just looked at 2 of your videos. I see in both you use simple carving knife for cutting your thin leather (disposable blades) got to love the simple things in life! Thanks for the video, yes I subscribed!

[@Corter]

yep! I've always used Exacto #2 blades, when I started 10 years ago there wasn't any place to get leather-specific tools online so I used what I could get, and it stuck!

[@DevonReviewer]

Great products, been using one of your bottlehooks, belts, and an Albatross wallet for years, top quality! Would love to add to the collection!

[@BigTechWorldx2]

Love getting to see what goes on in the shop! Looking forward to what new products you have in store for 2018

[@ShanePaull87]

Great videos! love everything you make!

[@richnguyen92]

Love your work.

[@beeeaaans7310]

The earrings joke was top tier

[@rfleecs]

Nicely done! Great vid.

[@robertfendler6441]

Very nice work! Two questions and a request. First, is there room for a pocket on the left flap to hold business cards you pick up? Second, your logo is nicely placed on the outside, do you have a smaller one to put on the bookmark, it's kind of plain. Could you do a video on what you do or make with your scraps?

[@Corter]

Yep! My personal model has a pocket on the left. We'll end up using our actual brand name on the inside as well :) Honestly we make product out of almost all of our leather, down to belt tails that get cut and split for belt keepers. The tiny tiny scraps we donate to the Boy Scouts for small crafts or friends that make jewelry!

[@bfa178]

Congrats on a 1000.

[@posties8452]

What is the iron you are using in this video? Thank you.

[@NorroenirMenn]

Love the way the notebook is locked! Interesting design! I’ve been looking for one of these for the past month but can’t find a quality made one that I like! Loving my snap wallet so I’ll need to add this to the collection 😎

[@irishguy13]

I'd like one for a composition sized notebook, with the pen loops (to accept large fountain pen) and an outer flap with a friction tie to hold the thing closed. Can't find one. Guess I'll have to make one.

[@lpenston1685]

Great work!

[@lpenston1685]

Also super clever closure system 💕

[@mschmidphotography]

Super excited that you are making these! Would love to win one but would also buy one as soon as it becomes available!

[@Corter]

aww thanks so much! We're about 4-6 months out, final testing and patterning going on now!

[@mschmidphotography]

I'm happy to help with some construction testing for you guys :)

[@JENNISWISS]

dream project and very nice video editing. cool sound!

[@dennisvolpe7805]

I have tried and failed to make a notebook cover for field note notebooks. Would you be willing to tell us what ounce leather you used.

[@michellewohlgemuth8847]

Beautiful, thank you!

[@ThomasLundyRealtor]

This is making me want to give it a try. Thanks for sharing your craft. Fingers crossed for the giveaway!

[@d.a.8891]

very good products How many mm leather you use on this product

[@denredhead6990]

Good work, nice detail. Love it. Learn alot from your video.👊

[@Junkie81]

I got the folded card wallet (among some other things!) from the latest Grab bag sale. And I really like it! And all these videos inspire to make something with leather. :)

[@rtty6695]

Professional job

[@anepicautumngaming1692]

well i wanna know where can i buy those leather because my country sucks and nobody sells them here

[@danielpierce976]

When can these be purchased on you web store I couldn’t find them

[@javierantonioasenciovazque9722]

Un trabajo hermoso, me encanta su estilo, gracias por compartir saludos desde México

[@themadbeaner7304]

Great work and excellent filmmaking. Question: what brand of edger are you using?

[@Corter]

Thanks! We use the edgers from Weaver Leather, just keep them sharp and they're a good affordable option

[@LTU89]

This is so beautiful! Love it! I am going to try and make one myself. :)

[@rtty6695]

I liked how the notebook case can be closed

[@f1rstclass596]

This is very slick :-).

[@touraobsb.9419]

Acabei de fazer a inscrição nesse canal, demais as possibilidades de uso do couro. Até parece fácil, eu disse PARECE.

[@gautambadveti6522]

Love to see lighter 1.25' inch belt too that can be used on formal pants.

[@farhanhere]

Amazing work, noticed you don't use a stitching pony...

[@seanoh4893]

Awesome style. I like that the fact that all the goods are very functional and practical. Such an inspiration. Thanks you for sharing the videos :) Crossing my fingers for the giveaway 👍🏻👍🏻

[@xAIRGASMSx]

Great work! Found you on IG then saw you had a YT channel. Totally just binge watched all the vids lol. More success to you in 2018!

[@LukeDorny]

That 0 edge beveler looks awesome smooth. What brand is it? Also is that a 3oz veg side? Love your videos!

[@JGABRIELCS]

Que tipo de couro é esse?

[@BrofNeeko]

Please tell me you have a latter for this now

[@ehuyustus]

Hermoso trabajo... cuál es el nombre de su pegamento...

[@bigdaddysherwood]

can we download the pattern?

[@SandrinoC.]

nice work

[@krishnendhuchakra6358]

Interesting! what thickness of leather you have used here?

[@Corter]

Thanks! Mix of 5oz and 3oz

[@krishnendhuchakra6358]

Corter Leather what all thickness of leather would be apt for making a wallet?

[@Corter]

depends on the wallet design, type of leather, construction method etc! Usually from 2-3oz on the inside to 4-5oz on the outside shell

[@krishnendhuchakra6358]

Corter Leather thank you! madam,please let me know how to make a 5 oz vegetable tanned leather pliable? when I make wallet with 1.2mm thick leather it becomes stiff and tough.

[@mdiego33380]
