Making the Optical Illusion Leather Wallet (WITH PATTERN!)

[@garyspruill1613]

Bought the pattern, super easy instructions with the video, made it in about an hour. Wifie happy, world happy, Thanks for another great tutorial and Pattern. Made mine out of W&C Bridle - chocolate brown

[@Corter]

So glad to hear! I bet it looks great in W&C, we make lots and lots of product in their Russet and Black :)

[@andresamuels5730]

What was the leather thickness

[@pest5373]

I don’t see the illusion but nice craftmanship

[@obliviouz]

Not so much an illusion as cool but slightly confusing pattern in that once you place cards in the wallet, the wallet will expose them with a seemingly overlapping/continuous diagonal line.

You literally inspired me to take this up as a hobby. I've just bought your design so this'll be the first thing I make!

[@danpost4755]

Very cool design! Another great video too!

[@audreymoon7269]

The contrast between the relaxing video and the energy of the text at 1:00 is hilarious

[@burakks48]

Very good. You did a good job.

[@noah7oe]

I really waana watch vids that you’re making a bag..I mean that bag at 00:40. That bag looks so beautiful!

[@gall_blader_works]

I love how you make it looks so easy and beautiful. Love this very much. God bless you people at Corter greatly.

[@angiefav1847]

Simply beautiful work thanks

[@matthewdenty7760]

How do you stitch like that? So fast and clean ... koodos on the sanding block vs a nail file .. and do you burnish with canvas? ( read about it but yet to try ) is it like a painters canvas or floor canvas,,, or is it a totally different material

[@giuliettalovelove8271]

Very good work💕

[@ianmissenden3301]

Like the one stroke cutting. Obviously a sharper blade than I use. Have watched a few of your videos and appreciate your skill. Interested in getting the pattern to give this project a go.

[@qray7873]

Beautiful wallet and the lighter leather case is dope too..thanks for sharing..

[@RoyMach1ne]

Do you ever work with Chrome tanned leather? How different is it?

[@mikemcnice3868]

The saddle-stitch would be more visible if you remembered about pulling one end of the thread upwards and the other downwards, the thread would set in the holes differently. Love the pattern, thanks for another great vid!

[@Corter]

Glad you like it! Are you referring to a more tilted stacking effect?

[@mikemcnice3868]

@@Corter Yes, not a straight line stitch but a zigzagging effect

[@Corter]

We'd need to use stitching chisels with more of a flat french-style tooth profile for that aggressive stacked look -- we prefer more of a straight stitch with a slight stack so we use diamond shaped chisels for most of our work :)

[@mikeisgettinupset]

I'm a huge fan of wallets that are slim enough for the front pocket and allow me to only have to fold cash once.

[@ilhemminora2365]

Good design!! it's like double layer for each card!!

Sorry but what is the tool you use to make the guided likes edge? I didnt see it online

[@chrisracer2007]

How did you get into leather work

[@juulieham]

what do you do with all the left over leather pieces?

[@stanervin6108]

Looks very clean

[@johnkraemer5505]

Very nice!

[@MobyBrickFlicks]

Cool you're using the master tool line of weavers edge bevelers right?? How do you like it compared to other brands you've tried? I wanna buy one

[@Corter]

Yep! I love em, super easy to keep sharp and a good shape for tight corners. Been using Weaver's bevelers far before we started working with them on videos, it's one of the reasons I reached out and asked them to work with us! A great deal for a great piece of kit that lasts forever, they actually sent us a newer model because we were using one that was like 10 years old in our first few videos haha

[@TheFerkelwemser]

Awesome work. Can’t wait till i find some time to start making this myself

[@shadysorial2036]

Nice work! But I guess it'dve been much more convenient if you had the back as an open pocket for money instead of gluing it as reinforcement (adding unnecessary volume and weight)

[@scottmorrell148]

Great video nice wallet

[@WeeGeordie]

Great design. How about leaving the top of the top unstitched to create another pocket?

[@Corter]

you could absolutely do that, the top or a side or a top and side! I would just line the side with the multiple card slots, as putting things in and out of that central pocket will wear on the stitching which might fray over time. A liner would protect it no prob

[@WeeGeordie]

Gotcha, good idea. Thanks for the video and the pattern. Very generous!

[@Corter]

@@WeeGeordie Thanks! we hope to do a lot more, it's been super fun doing this one

[@NMiller_]

I love the $2 bill

[@Bobster986]

Very nice, but I think using a wood burnisher on the edges gives it a more polished (finished) look than just rubbing it with a rag.

[@myrnaroman9611]

Lovely lovely work!

[@rogpires1]

It is Facinante this work, what software do you use to make these drawings in MAC? Hugs from Brazil

[@Corter]

it's Adobe Illustrator! Hello from Cape Cod!

FREAKING LOVE THIS!!!

[@dimitrioslykissas7981]

Can you produce plans for the chisel pouch? Would make a nice entry level project for a lot of people.

[@Corter]

Will do! We'll have a new project coming out in the next couple months for chisels and a couple other tools and we'll have a pattern available :)

[@hardbein]

Really great! Will there be an A4 paper size version for all your european followers?

[@Corter]

This pattern will print on a4 no prob, you've just got to make sure to set the printer to "full size" or "do not crop" etc :)

[@customhaines2510]

Are you dressing the edge with gum trag? And what did you do to your hand? You OK?

[@Corter]

yep! we use gum trag. I wish my hand was a cool story but alas, I was reaching in to grab a slice of pizza at the store and the metal of the display case shocked me, so I pulled my hand away in surprise and ripped the top open on the pizza case haha. it'll be right as rain next week!

[@customhaines2510]

Glad it's nothing too serious.

[@susanjoynersnodgrass9766]

[@lordpablo1985]

Where's the illusion? 12 minutes of video and no explanation of what the illusion supposedly is....

[@jimmyeng663]

The illusion is that the card slots don't look like slots.

[@lordpablo1985]

@@jimmyeng663 but they do look like slots

[@jimmyeng663]

@@lordpablo1985 The edge of the cards sit flush to the slots where in a regular wallet you'd usually see a stacked appearance of each one overlapping, this is supposed to make it look like the cards a part of the wallet.

[@eccentricsmithy2746]

I don't see it either. I guess the intelligent people aren't fooled by it.

[@johnnyc.5979]

I bought the pattern 2 days ago, and have made the wallet. I have not punched the holes or stitched it yet. I noticed you made all the front pockets and punched holes through all the layers, then added the back pocket, which mysteriously was already punched. This makes no sense to me. Did you make a mistake, punching the holes through all the layers except the back pocket, then lined it up and punched it? Because I glued all the layers and it's pretty thick, hoping my punch will make it through all that leather.

[@EndingTimes0]

Think you could turn a 6 ton shop press into a clicker press by welding a platform to the top and bottom?

[@Corter]

you can! I think a big benefit to a swing away press like Weaver's is that you don't have to crank/click the lever, it's much, much quicker and more efficient to use than a modified arbor press
