Jeffrey Joseph they do take a while, but I’m always looking for ways to share my work and behind the scenes with my audience as well as potential audiences. Thanks for the kind words!
Nothing like a little Billy Idol in the background to set the mood. I'm on my 8th time watching all your videos. Guess I should be ready to try my hands at a simple wallet. Wahoo! Here go! Cheers.
This looks somewhat similar to a wallet i made myself a while back. Its my favorite design. At the time i had taken elements of 3 different designs i liked and meshed them. loved the video.
Thank you so very much for sharing your process of leather-craft. I really enjoyed the way you "edited" your video and hearing some of your background music. Would appreciate sources for the tool that you rough up your edges before putting on contact cement and which Dremel tool do you use. Thanks in advance. Can hardly wait to see your next one. :)
I've just bought my first whole hide of Horween Dublin. I'm really excited to get started. I noticed on this video you used a Horween stamp. Can I ask where you got it? I think I've watched all your videos now, I find you sense of humour bang on🤣. Thanks for your great content, it's been very helpful as I only started in leather making at the beginning of 2022. Cheer. Matt from England 🇬🇧
Congrats on the Horween!!! In England…. Did you go through A&A crack and sons? They’re great!!! The stamp, I had extensive chats with Nick Horween directly regarding logo usage, copy right issues, proper logo styles, etc. I had it made per his permission
@@MasconLeather yes, I got it from A A Crack & son. I was like a kid on Christmas morning waiting for it to arrive yesterday. I can understand Horween being a bit careful with it's logo, can't have every Tom Dick & Harry stamping bits of leather with their logo. Thanks for your reply, Matt.😁👍
Hey there, Great video as always! Question for you. What size Barry King maul do you use? (the bigger one) . And curious why a Maul over a Mallet for you??? Trying to decide on what Barry King maul or mallet I want to buy, mainly for stitching chisels, whole punches etc. Thanks for the help!
Hello, excellent video, I want to ask you how do I find or how do I request the tool you use to reduce where you apply the glue, you use this in 6:44 min in the video. Thanks for your attention.
The knife that your usin , not the Amazon knife, but the one with the wooden handle, were can find one exactly like it ? I bought a round Knife, I’ll probably get rid of it , just to much blade for me
Did you ever make the same wallet without the stitching going across the area of the wallet that does not necessarily need the stitching? (Where you’re not stitching leather together) Curious what it would look like.
Hey brother love the video and craftmanship, gave me a lot of good ideas as I add a leather working section to my shop! I love the Diresta style speed up (always love hearing it sped up and then jumps to normal speed and we can see and hear exactly what's going on and we get to know you have good taste in tunes!) Lol. If you wouldn't mind answering a question, did you cut that granite slab yourself? I got a piece but its jagged on 2 ends and I'm debating on how I should clean it up.
Thanks! Slab- I went to a granite counter top place and got free range in their dumpster. Sink cut outs. They toss them all. I’ve cut a few. And I have a bunch with jagged edges. I just slap a few layers of packing tap along the jags to protect
Love it. Bout to pick up a leather craftsman kit. I would love to make myself and family wallets, things. Do you sell or have this pattern available for download ect? Thank you for you videos
It’s far too varied to answer simply. Everyone is different. everyone’s pricing is different. Everyone’s overhead costs are different. Everyone’s abilities are different. One person may have a 5% margin. Another may have a 75% margin.
“This gig”? TH-cam? Or leather? With TH-cam, I earn about $5 a day. Maybe. Do a video takes 30-50 hours to make. I try once a week to produce and post. So each video may make me $35 in a week? With leather? As a “gig”? That’s soooo complex. I was in banking for 19 years. Masters degree , etc. I quit and continued leather full time. Extrapolate what you will from That?
What thickness of leather do you recommend for wallets? (Veg tan) I'm learning a new hobby and I'm curious to know what others with experience recommend.
@@MasconLeather Thank you for telling me! I have never seen a tool like that before. I love watching your videos and how you work. As an up and coming leather worker, I am always inspired by your work and your process. I look forward to when the rougher tool will be released.
Очень симпатично. Почему вы не скрываете нитку а прижигание её? Надежность не падает? А так очень просто и красиво. Думаю себя такой сшить. Спасибо вам за видео🔆🔆🔆
@@MasconLeather thanks how many ounces is it. i’m just getting started in leather work after watching your videos. i just bought a 4oz veg tan belly, i don t think i can do a lot with it, but hopefully it is good enough to practice on
Exactly! I had long talks with Nick Horween prior to stamps. We went over proper logos, placement, legal copywriting, proper usage, etc. in other words, I went through the trouble and obtained proper permission. From Mr. Horween
My corded Dremel bit the big one. How do you like the cordless one? And I had to laugh. TH-cam played an ad for a pilots wallet while I was watching this video.

Yes !!
Excelente , Maestro que medidas tiene la herramienta con la que hace las costuras incluyendo el hilo ??
What kind of leather are you using? Chrome , Veg, did you die it yourself?
Veg
Horween
Dublin
Hello, excellent video, I want to ask you how do I find or how do I request the tool you use to reduce where you apply the glue, you use this in 6:44 min in the video. Thanks for your attention.
The leather rougher ? My son makes them. ...
zeebeeleather.com/shop/leather-rougher
Hey , love your videos. New to leather working and would love for this to be my first project , do you have a pattern for this ?
Thanks. But no, i don’t sell patterns
Great video. Thank you for sharing your talents.
John Blackwell thanks !
Better purchase, good irons or a good knife?
ryan robicheaux oh please don’t make me pick!!! Ha. I can’t stop getting more knives. My son makes them for me, too.
But you already have the best (and biggest) pricking irons around!
ryan robicheaux I also went through about 20 different substandard Sets. That being said, i still use some cheap eBay irons. And they’re perfect.
Any particular brand you'd like to share?...or are they just generic?
Generic
The knife that your usin , not the Amazon knife, but the one with the wooden handle, were can find one exactly like it ? I bought a round Knife, I’ll probably get rid of it , just to much blade for me
Nt cutter is one I use. See my “tools used in leather craft “ video. I explain a lot and have tons of links in the description.
What size pricking irons do you use and what brand are they if I may ask?
1 to 15 teeth. 3mm to 6mm, depending on item. I did a whole video on hand stitching and chisels
you can tell me the thickness of the leather you used for this video and how to get the pattern of this model and thank you for this video
5/6 oz. I don’t sell my designs
Can you share the bump jig and scuffer tool link please.
Yep!
Everything is here -
zeebeeleather.com/tool-shop
Great video. Can you provide the pattern for the wallet? Please
Thanks!
I don’t sell my designs.
Did you ever make the same wallet without the stitching going across the area of the wallet that does not necessarily need the stitching? (Where you’re not stitching leather together) Curious what it would look like.
Across the fold? Yep, I do it occasionally. I don’t like it because it looks cheap, easy, and unfinished.
Where do you get your angled straight edges? Like that small 90 degree one...
I had them custom made by a machinist. All different sizes.
Very nice. What weight and type of leather did you use?
thanks!! Horween 6oz
Looks like pro-line stitching chisels....other than that large 15 or 16 tooth one. Did you have that made? I'd love one that big that matches my set.
I had my 15 tooth chisels custom made.
@@MasconLeather did you take your pro line set to a local machinist and just have them match it up?
Nope. Kevin lee made them. Just asked for the mm spacing I wanted. He’s amazing.
@@MasconLeather I'm not familiar with him. Do you have a link to a website or anything?
I found his site. Very reasonably priced. How do you like them? Good quality? Nigel Armitage should do a review of his stuff.
This may sound weird, but would you use a pattern by someone else ( who shares it with you ) and and you send them a royalty of every unit sold ?
No. Never. I love design and feel it’s 50% of the craft. So it’s counterintuitive for me
Yep, the best wallet maker in the world.... that’s why they are worth the wait!
James Crane thank you, sir. You’re too kind.
where can i buy those mascon products?
Email me at artimus71@gmail.com

What tool is that for scraping before putting glue?
Leather rougher. My son makes them for me

What grit sand paper do you use with your Dremel? Great video!
240. Thanks for watching!!
Great work as always! Thanks for sharing.
What’s the significance of the $2? I’ve noticed other leather artisans use the $2 in their photos as well.
Thanks! I worked in banking for 20+. So $2 bills weren’t that special and rare. But I like them
Love it. Bout to pick up a leather craftsman kit. I would love to make myself and family wallets, things. Do you sell or have this pattern available for download ect? Thank you for you videos
Thank you! And thanks for the support! Unfortunately, I don’t sell my designs.
Great job! May I ask, what kind of leather did you use? Thank you in advance.
Horween
where you bought your mini leather grinder that appears in the 2:00 minute? great video
My son made it for me.
Looks amazing! What oz leather are you working with?
5/6 oz
The videos are very cool .. are there good profits in doing this for a living ?? Like how much profit could one make in a month or year ?
Thanks.
Doing “this”?
Videos? Leather? Marketing? Etc?
Regardless, it’s a lot more complicated than that.
Meaning making the leather what's the profit margin? Just curious
It’s far too varied to answer simply. Everyone is different. everyone’s pricing is different. Everyone’s overhead costs are different. Everyone’s abilities are different.
One person may have a 5% margin. Another may have a 75% margin.
Thanks I get it . I Will continue checking out your work .

What thickness of leather do you recommend for wallets? (Veg tan) I'm learning a new hobby and I'm curious to know what others with experience recommend.
Oh... I’m the wrong one to ask. It’s 100% a personal preference. I lean on the thick side. Way thicker than most.
Oh it's Mascon took me till the end to realise...nice work.
LOL (The name was in the intro.)
Mascon Leather yeah I missed the intro 😆
😝
What is that press machine called to stamp your leather
Arbor press.
Excelente trabajo me encanta ❤️❤️
Again, love your work!
Where did you get your crimper? Also, the horween stamp. I'd have to contact horween for that, right?
Thanks!!! Crimper- Amy Roke leather pliers. And for logo stamp, the proper route is permission. For sure.
@@MasconLeather Thank you!
🤘
Hey! I'm new to leathercrafting and love your videos, do you dye your edges and then burnish to get that awesome edge finish?
Thanks for watching! Yes, usually
@@MasconLeather Awesome, thanks, can't wait to give it a go :D
Is this wallet also known as the Cary Grant wallet? Love your videos and your dedication to the details and craftsmanship!
Thanks for the kind words! No. This is the Santiago. A full list and photos of all wallets is here - www.masconleather.com/new-index
Where did you get that little leather scuffer to rough up the leather for glueing?
My son made it. He makes a lot of my tools.
@@MasconLeather thanks for the reply, it looks great. I got the Tandy version for like $20+ but yours looks better, he should make em to sell!
I love it
Thanks !
And thanks for watching !
This is the coolest video
Thanks!
What did you use to edge coat? Edge kote? What method did you use to apply? And why not show it?
No coating. No paint. I’ll be showing more details in future videos. It’s all planned out.
Well you got my interest and follow. You're a great artist and always enjoy your pics on Instagram. Thank you.
Thanks for the kind words and support!
What is the name of the tool you use scrap away some of the leather before you glue everything together?
It’s a rougher. My sons make them. We’re going to have them available for sale to the public soon. Stay tuned
@@MasconLeather Thank you for telling me! I have never seen a tool like that before. I love watching your videos and how you work. As an up and coming leather worker, I am always inspired by your work and your process. I look forward to when the rougher tool will be released.
Where did you get the Horween stamp?
After long discussions with Nick Horween regarding proper legal copyright policy and logo design.... he agreed that I could have one custom made

Que medidas tiene cada pieza
The REAL question is... Where did you get that Horween stamp?
I second that. Please let us know
I had a long talk with Nick Horween.... that stamp was part of the conversation. 😉
@@MasconLeather so, so lucky. The Horween stamp is the big flex in the leather world!!
Where do you get your leather? And what type?
Horween and from Horween
i what kind of leather did you use for this?
Horween
@@MasconLeather thanks how many ounces is it. i’m just getting started in leather work after watching your videos. i just bought a 4oz veg tan belly, i don t think i can do a lot with it, but hopefully it is good enough to practice on
Veg belly is always handy! I use 5 oz Horween Dublin 90% of the time
How did you make the 90 degree edge tool? I can't find one anywhere
I had a machinist make me 12 or so, all different sizes. 👍
@@MasconLeather Great idea. I've watched many videos and yours are top notch. Thanks for you the inspiration.
I really do appreciate that!! Might have a new video coming out this Friday .... working on it
What are those thick clear mats you use for punching stitch holes?
I'm more partial to the green ones if they come from a different place.
Green ones are Japanese cutting mats from Rocky Mountain leather. Tell them I sent you. 👍
@@MasconLeather ahhh, thanks, brother.
🤘🤘
how can you stamp Horween on the leather? isnt this only done by the tannery?
Exactly! I had long talks with Nick Horween prior to stamps. We went over proper logos, placement, legal copywriting, proper usage, etc. in other words, I went through the trouble and obtained proper permission. From Mr. Horween
@@MasconLeather great job and good for you :) how can I contact him?:
Email. Unfortunately, It took months to get a reply. 😆
Can I ask what the tool you use to rough up the edges is.
It's a crafttool "rougher". My son made the custom handle for me.
Очень красивая работа. Смотрится на одном дыхании.
Thank you for that!
Whats the scratch tool u use ?
Rougher. My son makes them
How do you determine the distance from the edge
Distance from edge for ..... stitching?
Mascon Leather I think for she was asking in terms of stitching.
Agent Franks 4.75mm
Can you tell me from where i buy this?
Is available on amazon?
Contact me directly
What thread do you use? (Brand)
Ritza tiger
My corded Dremel bit the big one. How do you like the cordless one?
And I had to laugh. TH-cam played an ad for a pilots wallet while I was watching this video.
Just got a new 8220 cordless dremel. I can’t do cords. They drive me nuts !
@@MasconLeather Agreed. Dragging a cord over and through everything I do drives me nuts. I will check out the 8220, thanks.
