In this video I am making a handmade wallet at my workshop. The wallet is made from llama hide and is entirely hand stitched. If you would like to make one my pattern and tutorial are available to buy from the link above :)

The music is Strauss' Blue Danube followed by Tchaikovsky's Waltz of the Flowers, both renditions from RUclips's royalty free music library.

The Redditors seem angry (as usual) that this wallet isn't for sale for $50. There's about $50 in materials in it so what's my time worth? Nothing? There is a lot of work involved in an item like this which isn't conveyed by a short video when it's edited down, they take a long time to make.
***** Don't worry, it is painfully obvious how much effort goes into each of these. The quality of your products shines through.
***** I have to say I love how you combine great music but also include the working sounds of you producing your wallet :) it makes it very enjoyable to watch. This is a high quality product and the price should reflect this, its a world market (I am in Australia) price the items to reflect the quality, you wont attract the market segment that wants a cheap product but you will attract those who want a premium product :)
opensprit The price of everything, the value of nothing. That's all they know. Brilliant work, Ian.
***** Great job Ian! Very nice! When I first started watching your video, I was thinking to myself "awesome, another great video from Ian showing how I can start making wallets and selling them!" Then I watched the video - way too much labor for me! :) I didn't see what you're charging for the wallets, but I'm sure it's a fair price. My nemesis (a local maker that always seems to start making something I had been planning on making, but haven't gotten around to it yet) charges $115 for a bi-fold wallet, un-lined, machine sewn, with exposed edges. Much less work, but he seems to sell a lot of them. Videos like this are precisely what is needed to convey to customers exactly what it takes to build a quality product. I did a similar thing when I first started selling leather holsters. Customers watched my video and eventually decided it took too many tools and way too much time to build it themselves, so they hired me to build one for them. Very cool use of the little woodworking plane to skive the edges. I will have to try that! And the little edge scraper to rough up the grain side - super cool!
Eric Adams Thanks Eric :)
A machine will produce quantity. A man will produce quality.
Masterwork, very solid i like your videos man keep em comin. Handmade wallet would cost fortune here in Germany
"Poor man's folding machine," classic. Thanks for these videos, it is a pleasure to watch and the music is always a treat.
While I prefer my wallet to have burnished edges and to be unlined, that all preference and doesn't reflect how wonderful this piece is. I respect when people can create something so lovely and you can tell how much time and care went into making this. I applaud you, your skill set, and for sharing it with others. Keep up the great work!
Kevin Darby I do both types :)
***** Thats awesome. You have a really serious setup so I'm not surprised. The stacked leather after burnishing reminds me of a closed book. Its a little detail that generates a nice feeling. Thats what its all about right?
Watching this makes it seem that this kind of thing is very calming and almost meditative to do.
The music..Your work..The art..it all made me cry!
Bless you and bless your beautifull hands doing all this lovely work.♡♡♡♡
Hello Mr. Atkinson, I've watched this video 2 yrs ago while drinking beer, and that night I've decided to learn leathercraft as a hobby. Today, I make wallets during my days off and I earn extra money from those. Thank you for this inspiration.
Congratulations Ian for your craftmanship !receive my telepathic hug from Acapulco,México by myself an avid rumanian violin player in Acapulco orquestra fascinated always by leathers craftsmanship !
Now that's craftsmanship!! Great work!!
so beautiful , handmade wallets rocks ,they can stay with you for ages ,my grandfather gave me his handmade leather wallet that he bought in the 1940s from Italy ,the leather looks so vintage and it looks very new from the inside ,i use it everyday , the thing is that some people doesn't understand that the materials that are used in these things are high quality materials and that this kind of things will stay with you forever ! i bought many cheap wallets ,they last for a month then the whole wallet starts to fall apart ! thanks for the video ,you are very talented ! and i love the music in this video !
I've just binge watched wallet making videos for 9 days straight without sleep, this one is by far the best and seems the most skillful.

Ian Atkinson 👍
I looked on your etsy, great stuff! I didn't see a pattern available for this project. Is there one available? I'd gladly buy it!
Hi Ian, Just getting started in the hobby and your tutorials are simply fantastic. Do you have the pattern for the lined wallet for sale as well as the unlined ones on your Etsy site. I'd like to make one for my dad.
Se puede saber cuantas ases. Una por día o mas.
the pattern for the bound and lined wallet is now available if you would like it!
love how organized the person was, I'm definitely inspired. The music was great as well
It is a pleasure to watch someone who puts so much time and effort and skill into the leather work that you create,
Excellent work. Lots of little skills all adding up to a piece of art. Good Job!
Beautiful workmanship!
I immediately checked out the etsy web-store... VERY reasonable prices !
Now I know what I'm getting my wife for Christmas! You just earned a customer!
Wow, very impressive. I can see all the time and effort that goes into making a quality leather wallet.
That was great. There were tools and methods in there that I had never thought of before. You have quite a craft! Thanks.
Leatherworking skill increased by 1.
What can one say ? Except the whole thing is fabulous, the tuition, craftsmanship, the expertise and the video filming, just right.
It is a credit to you and grateful thanks for sharing it with us !!
Absolutely worth the money in my opinion, people are only mad that they cant afford such a lovely piece. will be purchasing soon! keep up the good work
videos like this show just how much time and work goes into each item. Beautiful work.
Incredible craftsmanship. I think sometimes the work that goes into this kind of stuff is pretty under appreciated. At least I know I used to overlook the amount of time and skills needed to make sheaths and wallets like the ones you make. Really cool stuff.
I have been seeing your videos for a few years and I am very very impressed over how far you've come. I hope you can make a decent living off your craft because you certainly deserve it.
You sir, are the Bob Ross of leather goods. I find your videos informative and serene.
You get what you pay for and this is pure quality.Keep up the awesome work fella.
The “ Blue Danube Waltz” The perfect work of art to play with yet another Leather Work of Art. Wonderful 🎶🎶🎵
Respect for the patient and craftsmanship too it's a job with passion and love .
Hi Ian, I just wanted to say thank you for all the awesome content you have created. Very helpful information. Good work!
Man you are awesome!
The product is so perfect that its not just a wallet,but also a piece of art!
Really amazed and thanks for your sharing!
that was incredible. it must have taken days. I only just started today and it took me about 5 hours just learning to do basic pattern cutting, stamping and use of dye... and that was just a little precut drink coaster! more than anything, I want to thank you. I definitely picks up on a few things watching this.
one thing I want to say, you have a lot of practical tools, even some of them made by your self. The wood edge folder is very useful, will make one by myself.
picasso has nothing on you;you are the best kind of artist
Enjoyable to watch as always. When my enthusiasm wavers with some of my leatherwork your videos help, its good to see how others craft their goods, pinching a couple of observed techniques also hehe. Great work!
Absolutely stunning work, thank you for sharing the process!
Really Good Presentation on wallet making.
Bruce Cheaney
A work of art.
I can't imagine how many wallets I would have to make before I could make one as nice as you did.
This is oddly relaxing to watch.
Beautiful wallet! (And excellent choice of music)
This beautiful music makes me remember when I was a child and we could watch the wonderful Hollywood movies...
Great choice of music. Incredibly long process,you do beautiful work Ian!
I wonder if leather workers ever even make minimum wage of the projects they make.
You’re an inspiration to us all.
i love nice wallets. and i can say the price on the shop is quite cheap actually for the quality and precision used to make this. i will buy it for even 200 usd. great work mate.
Absolutely gorgeous. Worth every penny.
Sir you are a true craftsman and stunned at your beautiful work
Didn't understand what you were doing half the time, but sure was fun to watch. That fold-it-over thing was sure clever. And that device that held your work while you stitched - great idea. Nice calming music. I will never have the patience to try this. Excellent work.
SO much crafting methods i can learn from here! such patience in your crafts! thank you for uploading ! ^^
What a joy to watch you doing this. Thank you for sharing.
Another amazing piece of craftsmanship Ian. Well done. I know the massive effort it takes to do great quality and the patience that you need to exercise in order to not cut any corners that no-one will ever notice. Your work is really inspirational and extremely informative. And you designs are so clean and classic. Lovely work mate ;)
From the music and the calmness of the video to the beautiful product, Very nice!
What a great piece! Thank you for filming it all. And congratulations on your crafstmanship.
Now that's craftsmanship!!! Great work!
Your attention to detail and patience resulted in perfection. Functional art...Well done!
Wow.. Thank you very much for this ! That's true and detailed craftsmanship
I'm a first time viewer to your channel and must say you do amazing work ,when I buy a wallet I always look at the quality that goes into making it im 44 and have owned only 4 wallets and from what ive seen so far I would not think twice about buying one of yours .
You make it look so easy. I hope you business grows and you are able to teach someone else this art and talent you have. I wish you the best.
That's gorgeous! A total work of art.
Sir I usually don't comment very often but I gotta say this is one of the best wallet tutorials on youtube!!!! My hat off to you sir!
Awesome Work!!
I've always been a fan of working with leather, and this video got me worked up in start doing some things...
Beautifully made, both the wallet and the video. Thank you for sharing.
Thanks for sharing this wonderful how-to/tutorial. It's obvious that no everyone can afford such a high quality wallet, but the prices seem quite reasonable based on the work involved.
Beautiful work. True craftsmanship
I love your work you are teaching me a new skill I never made a man Wallet always made handbags. Thank you for sharing.
Amazing craftsmanship in this piece! Keep up the great work!
quality vs quantity. Very well done. You are a true leather craftsman. I would gladly pay for one of your quality wallets, knowing that it won't fall apart in a year. Thanks for sharing .
Just Beautifull, love to watch the way you craft. Awesome.
That reminds me of my grandfather, he did this for a living. He had a little workshop here in germany with 5 people that produced leather pouches in the 80s but because of the china market he had to close. I still have some samples and i sometimes helped him to press in buttons with that little machine : ) I also remember that hot iron thing but he used more like a petrolium lamp to keep them hot or something like that. And that white glue, he had the same. We called rubber milk. Of course the stichting was done with machines, two older women did it back then. It was more like mass producing but in small charges.
Wow, superb craftsmanship. Well done!
Man this is ART.
Amazing work, true craftsmanship .
Great hands my good man, it's been a real pleasure watching you work thank you..
A little bit too expensive for me but what a great advert for demonstrating what you're actually paying for. If I ever have the money I'll definitely get one specially made.
I have no idea how I got here, as a retired leather Tanner I appreciate the quali of your materials and craftsmanship.
Superior craftsmanship. Splendid video. Bravo sir!
I appreciate the 2001 a.space odyssey music in the background makes this 10x more epic
I don't know how I stumbled here, but I'm glad I did, it was interesting to see the process and how much care and detail went into it. Yes, your wallets might be considered expensive, but anything of quality is.
One day I will be able to stitch at that level. Amazing!!!
This is Real craftmanship! I mean Who the hell would want to buy one of those carbonfiber, bluetooth tin cans to store your money in, rather a really good quallity leather wallet! Great Job btw and an awsome video!
That's stunning.
Se avessi anch'io tutti quei marchingegni, avrei meno pensieri per come realizzare uno qualsiasi dei progetti che faccio.
Complimenti per la maestria 👍
New to your channel and leather crafting. Love the classical music in favor of the modern free domain tracks thank you!!!!
A brilliant display of excellent craftsmanship enhanced by the music played during the synchronized swimming scene from the film, "Caddyshack." Well done, sir!
svrocko1 Yeah that's what that song is famous for
😂😂😂
Thats dedication &
Quality ! Great job !
So it looks like I won't be making a leather wallet anytime soon. Great Work!
Beautiful work and superb craftsmanship.

Володя Беспалкинъ good piece of work not peace
Good piece of work, not peace.* Or you can go the extra mile, and put quotes around "piece" and "peace".
Ok
Very impressive and well worth whatever you charge for it!
Brilliant! Like the tools you use.
That was beautiful craftsmanship
It takes a lot of skill do all those processes without hamming it up at some stage, good work.
Realmente es una obra de arte el verte trabajar!!!!
I love your tutorials 😃. Thank you so much 😍
from one craftsman to another:
