I liked everything about the wallets except for the stitching - specifically the end of the stitching where the thread ends were melted. Those two spots in the front corners and the back corners really detract from the overall look of the wallets. There's a lot of care and attention in making these, but I feel the finish on the stitching is visually distracting.
Exactly
The sewing machine belongs in a museum. It's about the same as the $100 Chinese sewing machine. Hand stitch it until you can afford a Cobra or equivalent. The rest is awesome.
Well well well, when I put on ma leather, and rock to sum Metallica, Delta Parole, Foo Fighters or the Smashing Pumpkins I feel like I can do anything in the whole wide world.
I love the laser work, what model do you use?
Epilog zing 24
i went mechine boss
Beautiful! So time consistent. You must sell those for a high cost.
the music + montage is very cinematic ..love it.. rarely youtubers hit the mark on editing.. anyway... thanks for sharing
I've thinking about this business i have a laser engraver but still I need many more things
Excellent work and video. I'm just looking at getting a 40w cutter. Thanks
que material utilizas para limpiar, que liquido utilizas?
I prefer the old method of tools and a soft hammer
Any particular reason you use a machine rather than sew by hand?
The machine is a beautiful well made and quite old. It is a pleasure to use. But it is also much much faster and more accurate than me doing it by hand.
its better to put glue to Thread end except flame
this is cool. I have a vague interest in leathercraft, and I want to buy a laser for separate business reasons. It's exciting to see that I can combine the two :)
How cool is that!! Good Job
Aren't at least half of the used images covered by IP laws meaning that theoretically you can't sell them without obtaining a license (or without the risk of getting sued)?
Yes, some of the images are covered by IP laws and those wallets were for gifts, prizes and one for personal use (which is still working well after 5 years).
how much € is a wallet?
They are available at different prices. Have a look here: www.etsy.com/uk/shop/Induku?ref=seller-platform-mcnav§ion_id=21551483
Wow amazing skill
Bro. Can you tell me the setting of picture on wallet .means how much power or speed is when engraved in wallet?
It depends a bit on the machine. I have a 40 Watt machine and the power for the engraving is set to 40% and the speed to 50%.
that level of craftsmanship...
Puedo ampliarle información de las maquinas láser en el mercado latino. También puedo cotizarle.
De dónde sos ?
Hi, the laser sure isn't cheap. Around $3k-$5k each?
The laser cutter is a Zing 40W from Epilog. There are other lasers that are indeed a bit cheaper.
Awesome wallet and sick sewing machine!
I give one of these away here: indukudesign.com/2017/05/09/leather-wallet-giveaway/
Were is buying
awesome sir !
How do you go about preparing a image for engraving? I have a zing also, I’m trying to engrave photos on leather but I don’t know how to prepare the picture, it’s not coming out right
I use some photoediting software and make the image quite light. But there is a lot of trail and error in getting the images just right. I start with very light and make things darker until I like how it looks.
I appreciate the response thank you!
Would love to know what type of laser your using. Also where did you get the really small burnisher to do the inside card slots. Thank you for the help. Brandy
The laser I am using is a Epilog Zing, 40 Watt. All the burnishers I use I made on a small lathe. You can read more about it (and see more images of the tools and burnishers) here: indukudesign.com/2017/05/09/leather-wallets/
Thanks so much for sharing this! Is is a CO2 version of the laser? Thanks!
Yes, this is a CO2 laser - 40 Watt.
@@Induku what is the exact model of it
@@unknownerror3568 It is a Epilog Zing 24 - 40 Watt. www.epiloglaser.com/laser-machines/zing-engraver-cutter/
@@Induku thank you
молодец !!!! хочу научиться
What is the Brand and model of your engraver?
The lasercutter is a Epilog Zing 40 Watt
Great work. can you pleas guide what format of sketch of pattern you used in machine to do this? like iges or dwg or what? kindly reply. Thanks
For this machine (Epilog Zing) there is a very nice "print" interface that work with several programs where you can specify vectors. I use Corel Draw and the files are thus .cdr files.
@@Induku Thanks. if i have Illustrator file that can help or i need to convert it to corel draw first?
@@xtreameengrs54 For this machine I think Illustrator files would work directly. You can always check with Epilog to make sure this is the case.
@@Induku Thank You :-)
useful video, thanks
Awesome video! What type of glue do you use? And what material do you use for the card slots?
And what type of laser cutting machine is that?
Thanks. The glue I use is just a general contact glue (on the tube it is advertised for use on leather - and fixing shoes) - but it is not anything special. The material I use is silk. The machine is a 40 Watt Epilog Zing Laser. You can read more about how I make these wallets here (loads of pictures): indukudesign.com/2017/05/09/leather-wallets/
I would love to try this but wouldn't know where to start as far as designing and purchasing leather and etc
What is the dye that you used?
It is a water based red dye for wood. I did however dilute it quite a bit. More information about this here: indukudesign.com/2017/05/09/leather-wallets/
How much is one sold for?
The prices vary a bit between the different wallets. The prices for each is available here www.etsy.com/se-en/shop/Induku?ref=seller-platform-mcnav§ion_id=21551483
Sir kindly tell me about the logos you have made (means these logos are life time) ?
what is the name of machine?
The machine is a 40 Watt Epilog Zing Laser. You can read more about how I make these wallets here (loads of pictures): indukudesign.com/2017/05/09/leather-wallets/
great‼
What did you use 1:21?
It is just red silk cloth that I used from 1:21 onward - as inner lining.
No I mean the liquid you wiped the wallet interior with
@@herpderp1859 Oh. That is just some red wood stain that I used (this brand: herdins.se/produkt/herdins-akta-bets/).
Hii
What kind of glue did you use?
Some old contact glue that seems to work very well with leather.
Do you sell this machine?

I sell the wallets in this shop :www.etsy.com/uk/shop/Induku
What kind of laser engraver do you use?
If interested please contact us: l-peak.com/
oh,,, how much is this smashing machine///
Less than $100 on eBay
very bad...where is craft ?
I am sorry to say I do not currently know where Craft is, he has been missing for years...
Your wallet is awesome!!
Thanks!
You're freaking amazing
nice work
fabric liner will fail quickly
The fabric in mine has not failed or unravelled and I use my wallet 5 days per week (3 years now). Why do you think the liner would fail?
Excellent job mate !! What settings do you use for the engraving ? I've got a diode laser machine 40w...and I having problem engraving small letters, I saw your and they are excellent!
I use a low setting for engraving (between 20 and 50% power - depending on the image and leather), but I also edit the images to be quite light. I would suggest making a test grid with different image intensities and power on the other axis to get the optimal engraving settings
Hi, just found your video. Can I ask, do you use something on the leather after cutting to get rid of the burning smell?I bought a diode laser to cut parts, but they smell so bad I gave up :(
Thanks
I wipe the dust from the leather after it is engraved. The smell goes away with a bit of time and when the wax is applied and the edges burnished the wallet smells completely different.
Does the fabric not fray at the edges?
No, when it is cut it is also melted a bit and there is no loose threads.
@@Induku Might have to get me one of these laser engravers, thanks
It goes well with my Katana.
I enjoyed a good video.
Excuse me, can I know which fluid was used as a post-processing finish?
I ask this because I feel so bitter.
I add some leather wax to the wallets after finishing.
Thank you. I need to look for a type of leather wax.
Thank you for your help.
Hello. I have to ask you again.
Do you happen to know the name of the wax you used?
I'd like to know how to use it. I can't seem to find it.
The brand I use is this one: www.roc.dk/gold-quality-laederfedt-190-ml.html It is from a Danish company. But I think any good quality beeswax made for leather would work (I get this brand since a store close to me has it). Search for "beeswax leather conditioner" in online stores that you have access to (e.g. Amazon).
Thanks a lot.
You've been a great help. Thank you very much for answering like this.
I hope you are always full of good things.
inspirationally!
Why not just buy leather wallets from walmart and engrave them???? Curious.
The nice part of this project is in making the wallets. The engraving is just a bit of extra detail. Also, we don't have Walmart in the country where I live.
Amazing! Good job!
Hi! What did you apply on 1:09? I'm wondering if this can prevent the newly lasered leather surface from being smudged. Because that's my current problem right now. :(
It is a water based wood stain. I am not sure that it will help with smudges but it makes the leather a bit darker.
@@Induku ohhh thanks for this... maybe i'll try this to see if it helps. 😁
Are the wallets for sale?
I currently have the following wallets for sale (most of the wallets in the video has been sold out): www.etsy.com/se-en/shop/Induku?ref=seller-platform-mcnav§ion_id=21551483
Creative!
What is the power settings and speed settings for engraved printing on leather
The laser is 40 Watt and I use a power setting of 50 and speed of 80 (I am not sure what the speed setting relates to).
Great video ... thanks for sharing. I'll have to give wallet making a go one day!
very nice.
What means do you cover the skin after engraving?
I use fax for leather to protect the wallet after it is made.
Great video. How do you engrave with the laser cutter? The place where I go for my laser cutting insists it's impossible for some reason. 😂😂
Thanks. I just put it in and engrave :) But I know that some leather treatments affect how it cuts. I use vegetable oil tanned leather and it works quite well. Good ventilation is however required.
@@Induku alright I'll take that into account. Also amazing wallets btw loved them all 👌👌💥💥
Very nice!
Nicely done!
Très beau travail !
Very Nice!
I'd buy this than braun buffel anytime
Very nice! Thank you for sharing!
Wonderful
Cool channel dude. Love seeing all this work
Can you tell me what the measurement were for the outside leather and the inside leather was? Like the width and the height.
Sure. The outer leather piece is 23 x 9.5 cm and the inner piece is 22 x 9 cm. The inner smaller to create a lip but more important is the width. It is 1 cm narrower to make it possible to fold. I had to make a few test pieces to get this right and it would be different for different types of leather. But for 3 mm ox-hide 1 cm allows 2 pieces to fold flat within each other.
Ronald Nelson Thank you for responding.
Is it save to cut leather with laser cutter
Yes it is safe if you follow the normal safety rules working with a laser (i.e. keep an eye on it, have a air curtain blowing over the cut area, and ensure that the smoke is properly vented).
What settings did you use for engraving and cutting ?
Vector settings: Speed 80%, Power 50%, Raster settings: Speed 90% Power 20%. This is for a epilog zing 40 watt laser machine.
@@Induku thank you very much
Great work! Nice Zing!!
What is the laser called
The laser is a Epilog Zing. 40 Watt
Amigo. Que tipo de cuero (piel) utilizas para gabar?
The leather is vegetable tanned 3mm outer layer cow leather.
very nice but you slaughtered it wit the machine stitching! -10 points
Adriaan Dippenaar he can handle the machine pretty good though.
what sewing machine is it
It is a cast iron Singer made around 1910.
sem futuro
I hope you don't charge handmade prices or you're a crook
the stitching looks kinda weird with bumps in many places
Bland and cheesy, something one would see at a carnival after winning the coin toss. Leather artisan? Lol...not a chance.
Damn, what skills
awesome video, Tip Kill that music uuurggghh!
Those look great man, nice work on the engraving. Can you tell me what power and speed you used to do the engraving? I have a leather notebook that I want to engrave a design to the front. Thanks
I am not sure how well the settings will translate between machines but here is what I use. I have a 40W Epilog. I engrave at 90% speed and 20% power on this type of leather (sometimes I push the power up to 30%). BUT I always test a small piece first - the variation between different types of leather or even within one piece can have a big effect on how much power is needed.
Все супер, но машинный шов очень некрасиво смотрится. Гравировка, шов машинкой, подкладка, и все это уже не ручная работа. Это уже поставлено на поток и без души.
я бы 100% не хотел бы такой кошелек, кроме красивой картинки больше ни чего =(
