I know it's not as sustainable as a mass produced good, but man oh man is there something satisfying about seeing completely handcrafted leatherwork...
it's actually much more sustainable than a factory made product :) We only use one tool that needs electricity, and all of our materials are byproducts of the meat industry which would be waste otherwise
@@Corter Sorry, no of course you're right, this far more environmentally sustainable. I meant in terms of volume production in a business sense. Wasn't a criticism, more a lamentation that only the lucky few will ever get to have something as unique as these pieces. Love your work!
It can be done! Many people say you need to sew with machines to produce enough volume to make a living, but we've been doing it with clicker dies and hand stitching for over 10 years producing plenty to make a living! That's why we don't use sewing machines in our videos, to encourage hand made production...that and we don't know how!
l use a stainless foil that is used for heat treating knives to keep oxidation off the blade. lt's .002 thick and flexible, but much cheaper than the screen. lt cuts with scissors as well. One layer is sufficient to block scanners. lf someone is concerned with scanners they can buy heavy duty aluminum foil and line the cash pocket of their wallet, but it will need to be replaced from time to time. Heavy duty aluminum foil is available at any grocery store and it's all l use for cooking or barbecue as it is thicker and less likely to tear, just FYI.
The mesh looks like an industrial S S screen printing material we use for metallization of high temp circuit boards available 80 to 200 stands per inch. more expensive than polyester but more consistent tension. There was always small scraps left over after stretching the frames. Could be a good source for a free supply of small pieces.
soooo a question... The end result seems to be flat and not folded, usually when i see wallets they are folded without having to "break them in" how would one make sure the wallet is folded properly without effort and not wanting to stay open by the tension of the leather?
@sada das So there is no play with making the other shell slightly longer to allow for a natural extra material to fold and close? if i glue two identical pieces of leather rectangles one on top of the other, and try to fold them that is. or leather will naturally stretch the outer shell to allow for the fold to happen? (ie: broken in)
Get the kids together!!! on the kids together and get it back to your house! get the kids together for you guys to come over and play with your kids today!!!!!
What pricking irons are you using here? I have a set of diamond shaped and DONT like them at all getting into thicker leather as they don’t come out of the material well.
Awesome work as always!! I found your vids even relaxing... And of course inspiring... So finally ordered a basic tool set for leatherwork... My goal is to make a camera case for my canon dslr. If you have any sugestions or videos related will be very much apreciated... Keep up the nice work and awesome vids..greetingd from mexico. :)
try something simple first bro.. feel how your tool works and get to know the leather you gonna use.. then move to more complex structure like the case you want to make
Great work, and very relaxing to watch. Off course would be better to have both sides aound working, but the fact the only thing listening is the sound of the work is GREAT. Just one question. What was the waxlike substance you rub on the edges after the sanding? Thanks in advance
Nice, but I wouldn't call it 'armoured' though. What is the 'armour' protecting against? It seems to just be to add a bit of decorative contrast via the holes you punched in.
Great project. Elegant wallet. I wonder if other material could be used (alu foul??) when will there be ab instruction on your handstitching???? Pretty please ??
No. You can't use aluminum foil. It will work harden as it flexes in your halter and start to crumble. Just spend the couple bucks and buy the stainless mesh. It's VERY cheap on eBay and alibaba/Aliexpress. (It is often sold as vaping wick.) You can get different hole spacing and different grades of stainless.
The mesh doesn't go all the way to the stitches. It wouldn't tear the stitches apart if it did anyway because the stitch keeps the pieces from moving. The thread used in leather goods is extremely strong.
This is going to sound really stupid but you actually appeared to use the guide makings on your cutting mat, I had not considered them accurate enough, maybe they are! 🤔
Too thick. It depends on the tensile strength of the leather. Kangaroo is the strongest and you can use .5 oz. minimum, but for cowhide, I wouldn't go below 1-2 oz. 7-8 is very thick for a wallet. It will wear out faster and start to split on the crease. If you want it thick, use a double thickness of thinner leather. It will last much longer.
I don't have a scanner to test this, so reaseach is in order, but I believe that as long as the screen covers both sides of the chip, you are safe. Open the wallet and you probably lose all your protection anyway. It would be smarter to line the pockets, then the cards would be protected until actually removed from the wallet. Because he glues the screen to both pieces of leather, once cracked, I doubt the screen can separate very much and might not affect it's performance. Too bad the new chips aren't affected by RFDI. To know if you have the chip that needs this armour look for the symbol that looks something like )))) but with small to large kinda like 🔊 but with no speaker. If none of your cards have this symbol, you don't need the armour. I haven't seen a machine where you tap or can wave your card over it, so I'm not sure there are any out there anymore. With love 💜 from sunny 🌞 Arizona 🌵.
+Suzi SaintJames i just meant to the structure of the wallet, eventually the steel will work harden to a point where it wil just fracture, then what do you do? its glued inside the leather, now you have a floppy wallet that grinds on the inside when you open and close it
@@benjamindale3895, I think you are right. Once the screen wears out, the wallet would be a mess except for one point... I don't have any cards with RFDI chips. All of mine are the new EMV cards. So, since I don't need the armour, I'll be making my wallet without the screen. Happy holidays! 💜🌞🌵
@@benjamindale3895 It will work harden, but mainly at the crease, leaving the two sides intact. The thickness/rigidity of the leather, and the navigable movement in the areas not in the crease, would leave them alright. I have used 416L ss in a "dump pouch," with 1000D cordura nylon, that flexes/moves a lot more than in the wallet, and it was fine. I also have a few motorcycle garments with titanium "thread" that is woven into the nylon, for abrasion resistance, and it was fine. (Ti work hardens much easier than ss.) I don't see it being an issues, but rfid blocking wallets are pointless because there is no threat of "rfid crime/fraud."
wow, we would really have to say upper than awesome awesome. because it is upper than awesome. "Whatever you all think about it, but I really accepted it is awesome upper than awesome. Wow really........ skill of the making this wallet makes me Really crazy .

Almost all credit card machines allow you to tap your RFID card on them. LOL. Living under a rock? I used NFC/RFID payment methods with a credit card and/or my cell phone at every store I go to. Screen is a far better material than sheet/foil stock, to use in this application. It won't work harden nearly as fast as something in sheet/foil form. The few seconds you open your wallet, is not the time you need to worry about. The time your wallet is open only accounts for 0.05% of the time you have your wallet in public. It's closed in your pocket most of the time.) None of this matters because rfid theft/scanning/slimming/fraud is a non issue.
Saying, "there has not been a single rfid related crime," is irrelevant. 99.9% of crime goes unknown or no one is charged. (How many illegal things have you done in your life without getting caught?) The point you should have made is that RFID fraud is almost impossible, and more importantly is extremely improbable; for about a dozen different reasons. That's is what makes the RFID blocking accessories useless.

Mountain Fisher thank you
What is the stainless foil called in the heat treating/knife industry? Thanks.
Shirley, just go to Brownells.com, they have it in small or large amounts. It's not cheap, but much less than stainless mesh.
Thank you.
Just wondering, would those foil emergency blankets work for blocking RFID, or is it not the right material?
Shirley I don't know, it is real thin foil that's been coated with a mylar material.
Crear i love your artículo🤩

It being folded in your pocket for a few days is more than enough to keep it folded.
Nice work.
Beautiful!! ❤💕💞
Your videos are just so relaxing and pleasant to watch. Your videos are as well thought out and made as your leather goods.
Wow no music very relaxing watching the leather man at his best
Really great work 👍
You are a solid couple, you do this job together.

I always enjoy your videos. Well done, relaxing and shows off your skill.
What is the thread and needle size that you use? Sewing with a heavy thread is such a pain.
What pricking irons are you using here? I have a set of diamond shaped and DONT like them at all getting into thicker leather as they don’t come out of the material well.
What’s that armor gonna do?
Great video
Did you use canvas for burnish?
how does he get veg tan leather like that tone/finish? anything i buy is usually softer and paler, less shiny
Please fix sound recording to playback in stereo. Great videos to watch and appreciate - when the sound comes out of both headphones.
What kind of leather? Thickness? Thanks
This is fantastic work! Would anyone happen to know the thickness of the veg tan leather used? Might it be 3oz or 4oz?
I like your work excellent
Great video instruction to learn from
Комментарии бы к видео, что за Кожа, чем торец обрабатываете, и что за материал приклеиваете между слоями кожи?
Это же краст. Торец токоноле. А материал - металлическая сетка с мелкой ячейкой(такие используют как фильтры для мелких частиц)

Hi, love your videos, I was wandering, is that rubber cement you’re using? Thanks
It's probably rubber cement

Your tool very good I like tool
Great work, and very relaxing to watch.
Off course would be better to have both sides aound working, but the fact the only thing listening is the sound of the work is GREAT.
Just one question. What was the waxlike substance you rub on the edges after the sanding? Thanks in advance
what spacing is your KS blades?
What weight of leather did you use?
Where do you get the stainless steel?
The metal mesh can be a antenna for something like gprs tracking?
I need the website or what place to buy the leather. I want to try make a wallet by myself. Help me please
Very good yaar
Can I ask what is the white liquid you put it on the edges?

Nice, but I wouldn't call it 'armoured' though. What is the 'armour' protecting against? It seems to just be to add a bit of decorative contrast via the holes you punched in.
Michael Rhys rfid skimmers
Andre Chiesa Aaaaaaaaaahhhhhhh
I would have used copper mesh to make it like a Faraday cage to block rfid scanners though I think the stainless will do the trick.
Any good conductive metal would work, but i'd also use copper because even stainless steel will rust over time.
@@turtle79070, both copper and stainless will oxidize, but I believe the stainless will hold up better to the constant flexing of the wallet. 💜🌞🌵

how many stitches per inch is your sewing
Use your eyes and estimation skills. Around 6-7.
What was the oz of leather that was used?
I love your videos! I went to your website, but I couldn't find a trifold wallet. Do you make them?
Is there messenger bags?
Great job, as usual. But, in time, that steel mesh will not tear the stiches apart?
The mesh doesn't go all the way to the stitches. It wouldn't tear the stitches apart if it did anyway because the stitch keeps the pieces from moving. The thread used in leather goods is extremely strong.
It's glued in place in the first minutes of the video so it's not likely to move
Either way, no, the mesh won't tear the stitches.
Where do you get your tools.
молодец,спасибо и привет из России!
good job
YOUR WORK IS JUST SIMPLY AMAZING, THANKS SO MUCH FOR SHARING THIS FANTASTIC VIDEO, I LOVE IT SO NICE
What do the holes do?
I'm thinking they're just decoration? 💜🌞🌵

To date there has not been a single RFID related crime. Just so you all know.
RFID blocking wallets are useless
I just looked that up, you're right, that's pretty nuts

The point you should have made is that RFID fraud is almost impossible, and more importantly is extremely improbable; for about a dozen different reasons.
