Great video. Thanks for sharing, I wanted to try my hands on leather projects and purchased a lot of Chrome leather, but they are too flexible. What can I use to stiffen it.
Bonded leather reinforcement such as Salamander bonded leather which I use work well as a reinforcement/stiffening layer, there is a 0.4mm thick version that works great. Otherwise you can try gluing two pieces of chrome tan back to back which will improve the stiffness.
Thanks! The exterior leather in a wallet can be in a semi folded state when sticking on the lining material. This will reduce the chance of a crease in the lining and give the wallet a natural bend. You can see this in my bifold wallet making videos.
@@TeranAtelier it is indeed very helpful to me. Been following your suggestion and tutorials and I am very thankful that I found your videos. You are awesome.
Just an observation regarding the passport wallet you show at 0:26: Is there any benefit to the second layer being one piece with the rectangular section cut out? Wouldn't it fold better and more smoothly with that second layer being in two pieces? I have seen several wallets with this style and have always thought two sections would be better than one.
Using a single layer allows it to bend at the middle without creasing and can achieve a smaller overall size. However, I like to have a long continuous stitching line around the border and the continuous second layer of leather helps make the stitching look more uniform.
I want to use stingray or ostrich for a gun holster. Can I use pig leather as a lining since both are 1.2 mm thick? I do like the watch strap what lining did you use for it? Thanks
For my watch strap lining I used Buttero veg tan leather. If the lining will be against metal objects it is recommended to use veg tan leather as chrome tan leather may react with the metal, veg tan pig leather should work fine.
I have a question about the linings for cork material which is quite thin and soft. What will be a good choice for this type of material, I can't find a movie or information on this subject anywhere, thank you in advance for your answer :)
I don't have experience working with cork but I think that all the linings in this video would also work. The only thing that would be different is that you would need a different type of glue than working with only leather that is will be compatible with cork.

Just what I was looking for!
Great video! What about the lining size? For wallets that fold, If they are the same, the lining will crease, right?

Nice watch strap !! And thank you for covering on lining leather projects!!!
Thanks for the idea! I think it was a great topic to make a video about.
What mm pigskin leather to line a wallet?
As thin as possible. Normally you can get them around 0.5mm - 0.6mm.
