Hey men are you sell?

Where can I find this cardholder's template? It seems fantastic💥

Absolutely the shinki hikaku and leder ogawa are top tier shells

Pricking irons just pierce the underside, and an awl is used, Stitching irons penetrate all the way thru, and no awl is used, ARMATAGE leather is a master leather worker, with youtube videos explaining this, learn to stitch correctly

I Definitely am with you on the consistency on the horween shell. I bn working with Ricardo. Always consistant

I have access to one of these at a maker space here in Phoenix. However, the person who knows how to use that piece of equipment isn’t there all the time, so sometimes I have no one to turn to when I have questions. Thanks for your video-I learned something and definitely feel more confident now about using that machine after watching it.

Like this but which all purple on the outside with the splash on the inside.

With one of these skeleton patterns

Can I get this purple leather in another style?

so one side inverse and the other side or half is not inverse or both halfs are used with the same tool?

Hello. Did you design your logo yourself or order it from somewhere? If you ordered it, where?

Do the ones from Rocky Mountain come with the stamp?

What does the knife have to do with this? How can they be paired?

Great video thanks! How does the shell cordovan, especially the vibrant Marbled versions like red, green, patina? Do they get very dark quickly? And do they lose their astonishing shine fairly quickly or they hold on or get even better?

Great content mate thanks so much! Have you worked with or checked out the Rocado Cherry marbled shell cordovan?

Good video but dye not paint

I've had this same experience with Horween Shell Cordovan. Considering it's actually a subdermal membrane and not a true leather, Horween is loath to split it for continuity. This in turn generates a product with substantial thickness inconsistency. When I've utilized Horween's Shells in the past, I kept the designs basic and conscientious of layered thicknesses. Most of the time I utilize the shell as a key feature and substitute card batteries with some other quality veg tan, which keeps thicknesses reasonable. I don't know anyone that appreciates a brick in their pocket. Shinki and Rocado are both excellent alternatives. Cheers!🍺

👍👍👍

Why are you reading your recipe??

That’s beautiful, I like that it’s minimal and not a chunky block of metal. Good ole fashioned leather. You can’t beat it.

Curious what changes you made to the stock Juki to prep for leather sewing, smooth feed dog etc. Additionally, what size needles and thread are you using for your wallets. Thanks.

I don't like horween either. Americans just aren't great on production of anything.

Love your presentations. FYI - nylon thread breaks down from UV exposure. Many recommend bonded polyester instead. I apologize for being Mr Advice Guy from the Internet. Thanks man. Love your work.

That looks very good. Makes one want to touch and feel it for oneself.

I don’t buy leather wallets. I make my own. Usually badly because I’m terrible, but I make it myself. The Rocado however, is a dream leather that’s way to expensive for me to butcher. I have a wallet coming in made of the art series shell cordovan. I’m PUMPED. If I like what I see, I may try some and sell a couple. But I’m scared, it’s too pretty!!!

I sew bag of many materials and i have a cylinder arm adler 669 with a little table, do you think it is necessary to have a juki 1541? With the cylinder arm i am sitting different!

Awsome thanks

Great video thanks for sharing. My biggest problem when I got my 1541 was when I put mine together I set it at the highest table height possible as am 6’, well you probably know the foot peddle position was crazy weird. My husband and I found a way to lengthen the rod and man what a difference! It is so comfortable now. We modified a screen door tensioning rod from Home Depot and it looks original.

thank you for sharing the tip on using reverse iron for great looking stitches!

I’ve been hearing about this that some of them were made to not go all the way through, so I’m assuming that you’re supposed to use an awl but if you’re using it awl won’t be all punch through and make the same slanted line on the other side?

I agree with your assessment. Horween was my first Shell I worked with. The second and third shipment was not so good. Not only cloudy and thickness dropoff by also the feel closer to the edges was rough and pitted. I asked why and they said its the way it is. They fill and give their best Shell to Alden Shoes.Therefore I shopped and fell in Love with Shinki Shell!!! My opinion the very best all the way around. I had problems with Rocado and stopped buying it when I was refused to send back some that was rotten. So IMO there is nothing like Shinki Shell and Shinki shines and has the best appearance above all. however I loved your video and appreciate looking at your projects, they are top quality, beautiful pieces.

Your designs are very well thought out.

what a beaut

first

For snags I’m in the habit of giving the thread that the needle is trying to pass by a little pull. If the needle doesn’t move then I pull the needle through. If the needle moves with the thread I pull the needle back out and try again. This has saved me a few times.

How do you know your halves are going to align perfectly when you glue? The holes may be a tiny bit off but it still makes a big problem

Man! Glad to hear that pricking through the thread happens with experienced artisans. I thought this was an amateur error. I started working with blunt needles to reduce the chance of this happens. Great tips!

Very informative for us hobbyist leather workers. Your work is stunning!

Hvae you previously worked with Horween shell? How does it compared to the Rocado's?

Would you tell me please, what size of a thread did you use here?

In my opinion, this shinki leather is HORSE BUTT LEATHER, and not real shell cordovan. completely different production technologies.

can you show us your hand dying process? That coloring effect looks really cool. 3:56

I cut a bunch of leather of an old couch and started making knife slips out of it. 👍

Yes got a natural glazed shinki and love it, there are some areas especially near the edge that get microcrease when folded but overall good, may try the rocado next as the price is lower

Interesting because till today I was under the impression that shinki and rocado had a shiney and almost a faux look too there shells. While horween has a more natural look and patina better especially the natural shells. Quiet a new perspective you just gave. What others thought was natural looking was infact slack tanning and lack of finish from the American giant

Where can I buy?

Very nice for a well healed gentleman

Is this the last area of San Francisco not taken over by tents and needles?
