I'm just getting interested in Leatherwork and videos like this both excite and relax me at the same time. Beautiful Craftsmanship. Thank you for the inspiration.
Thanks John. Unfortunately there's no way to get those marks out. Vegetable tan leather is easily marked, which makes it ideal for leather carving. Chromium tan leather is not a problem in this way. I don't really mind though, it gives it a bit of a rustic look. An expensive sewing machine like the Cowboy CB4500 would not have this problem, but I think the machine costs about $3000.
28'20 video duration + relaxing music + perfection in making a leather craft, you just made my 29 minutes is very worth to watch until the end, thank you, this is an art.

Thank you for posting. I just started working with leather and think it is something I should have done all my life. I love it. I think to present this wallet to my loved ones would be awesome.

I've done lots of hand stitching, but I never used stitching chisels. I see a lot of videos of people doing this and it looks amazing, but I never got into it myself. I wish I had, and maybe I still will. Thanks for the compliment!

Is that 9:24 one of those Chinese Shoe Patcher sewing machines? Looks like it's working just fine for you, undoubtedly with a learning curve and machine fine tuning. I love the simplicity of it. What's the leather weight limit? 5oz or so? I would love to get a leather sewing machine but just can't justify $1.600 on the Cowboy CB3200 or similar
I wish I could use my shoe patcher machine like you do. Maybe with more practice and of course more patients. Really good video. Steve at Kawartha Leather
Thank you Steve! I had some trouble with mine at first too and I had to make some modifications, but it's minor stuff. I use a #20 needle that I found on eBay from China because most needles for standard sewing machines don't go that high. I sharpened the tip of the needle to a chisel point, as is common on machines made for sewing leather. If you go about a third of the way down on the website attached below you'll see where it says, Leather needle what I mean. If you have a diamond sharpening stone and hold the needle with a small vice-grip you can do this quite easily. The thread is 100% polyester from a company called The Thread Exchange in North Carolina. Also, you've probably noticed that the bobbin has very sharp edges all around. I was breaking thread and I didn't know why, so I filed these sharp edges down (except for the point of course) so when the thread loops around it is less likely to get snagged and severed by these sharp edges. On the swing-out metal plate that covers the bobbin I filed down the metal on either side of the hole just a little so the leather would glide over it a little smoother. Hope this helps. fluffystuffy.wordpress.com
If you go on eBay and search, 'Chinese shoe patch machine' or 'hand crank sewing machine' you will likely find one. They are new but look old and are 100% steel construction. They are also called 'Able 290' but you may not find them under that name. There is a Facebook page from Australia that sells parts for these machines under that name and they can also advise if you have problems. You can get them for around $200 Canadian. I had to tweak mine a bit to get it working better for leather, but if you need advice on this just contact me. Hope this helps.
@@horaciocastillo1435 Hello Horacio. I'm not actually in the wallet making business, but I will make one for you if you like. The only downside of the shoe patch sewing machine is that the foot leaves track marks beside the seams. I don't mind it, but a more expensive machine would do a cleaner job. If you'd like to buy one you can contact me at wm17959(a)hotmail.com.
Great craftsmanship. I'm researching leather craft as a hobby and eventually a full time career. This is beautiful. On a side note, I'm in the leather business and if you're interested in purchasing vegetable tanned or chrome tanned leather from India let me know. Cheers!
I thought about doing that, but I really don't like watching those kinds of videos. Maybe I'll just add some text here and there about material and tools. I'll answer any question you have if I can.
Yes, it is a little thick. I haven't experimented with other kinds of leather and I have a tendency to over-design almost everything I make. There is room for improvement.
Hi John. The letters are from China and they are very reasonably priced as well. They make them custom when you place the order with very fast turn around time. Here's the website: zonesun-technology-limited.myshopify.com
I think they are those machines. I bought it new about a year ago but they're made in China. The cool thing is they are 100% steel. No plastic parts at all.
Lovely instructive video. I learned a lot. At 20:10 you put a bit of scrap leather under your work in the middle of a cut run before cutting. Can you explain why you did that, please? Interested to learn. An endless student in the U.K. THANK YOU FOR ALL THE WONDERFUL EDITING WORK ON THIS VIDEO. You got it just right for my viewing.
It's because there's a gap in the middle of the wallet on the inside (the fold). The scrap brings it up to the level of the surrounding leather so it's cut evenly. :)
Hello Sean.I'm thinking of going into a small production run of these wallets. I'll be selling them for $130 Canadian including shipping so please let me know if you'd like one. wm17959(a)hotmail.com
You can use whatever thread the needle will handle. I bought larger needles for mine but I had to do a bit of digging to find them. This machine uses standard needles as used on a consumer sewing machine, and these needles are hard to find for heavier thread like what I'm using. When I sew a seam where the underside will not be visible I use the plastic thread, but all around the outside I use a 138lb polyester thread on top and bottom. I should mention this machine does not handle thick leather very well but for something like this it works pretty good. You can't expect too much from a machine of this price range, but for hobbyist like myself it's not bad, and a lot faster then sewing by hand. Here's a link to the machine if you're interested. www.ebay.ca/itm/Leather-Sewing-Machine-Manuel-Shoe-Patcher-Singer-Adler-Repair-Cobbler-Antique/132594116949?hash=item1edf39a955:g:60wAAOSwYUBa5CxO:rk:1:pf:0
Thanks Milan. Yes, those marks are a problem, but it's an inexpensive machine and there isn't much that can be done. They don't really bother me because I think it gives it a bit of a rustic look, but it would be nice if they could be avoided. I thought about filing down the teeth on the foot a little bit, but then it might not be able to transport the material, especially if that material were something other than leather, like vinyl. Expensive machines like the Cowboy CB4500 do not have this problem, but they cost over $2000.
Hello Krida, thank you for the compliment! The oil is just neatsfoot oil. You can use any oil recommended for leather because vegetable tan leather does not contain oil, and neatsfoot oil has been used for hundreds of years.
hola me gusto tu trabajo dime al final que liquido le echaste porfavor gracias y como lo puedo conseguir en peru si no fuera mucha molestia . bendiciones
Hola Daniel. El aceite al final es solo aceite pie nido (neatsfoot oil). Puedes usar cualquier tipo de aceite para el cuero porque el cuero vegetal no tiene aceite.

@@jeffallen3382 Hello Jeff, sorry about the late reply. I had trouble sewing thick leather when I first got the machine and often the thread would break. First I had to find #20 needles, which wasn't easy, but I found them on eBay from China. Most needles this size are made for industrial machine, and they will not work in such a machine. Then I sharpened the needles to a chisel point, you can Google this and see what that looks like. This is how needles used for leather look. The last thing I did was take a small metal file and round off all the sharp edges from my bobbin (but not the sharp point at the front that catches the thread), I think it was this sharp edge that was cutting the thread on a tight stitch. The machine is really not designed for thick leather. The thickest I can go is about 1/4" or maybe 5mm. The thread I use is from The Thread Exchange in North Carolina, USA and it's 100% polyester. Hope this helps, and thanks for the compliment!
@@jeffallen3382 Hi Jeff. I don't know anything about the Tippmann Boss machine, but it looks like a decent machine. If it's in good condition and think $700 would be a fair price, but I haven't looked into it. I've thought about getting something heavier myself but I'm not into this in a big way. If I was going to get into this in a big way I would buy the Cowboy CB6500 machine, but that's about $2500, Good luck!

I thought about filing down the teeth on the foot a little bit, but then it might not be able to transport the material, especially if that material were something other than leather, like vinyl. Expensive machines like the Cowboy CB4500 do not have this problem, but they cost over $2000.
@@wm17959 perhaps you could glue a thin piece of suede to the sole of the foot. It might have enough grip to work, and is removable if it doesn't
@@milanradak269 Yes, that might work. I even thought of putting a few thin strips of duct tape. Thanks for the suggestion!
thank you, amazing works
Thanks Lai.
👌👌
Awesome work of art 😁👌🏻 the music was soothing during the entire process 😇
Thank you!
Hi, may i know what oil that you used on finishing ? That's make perfect looking . Love it
Hello Krida, thank you for the compliment! The oil is just neatsfoot oil. You can use any oil recommended for leather because vegetable tan leather does not contain oil, and neatsfoot oil has been used for hundreds of years.
Good 👌👌👌👌👌👌
Thank you!
hola me gusto tu trabajo dime al final que liquido le echaste porfavor gracias y como lo puedo conseguir en peru si no fuera mucha molestia . bendiciones
Hola Daniel. El aceite al final es solo aceite pie nido (neatsfoot oil). Puedes usar cualquier tipo de aceite para el cuero porque el cuero vegetal no tiene aceite.
I spotted that Canadian 10......where are you located?......... I also have that stitcher and it works........Beautiful work......Thanks
Thanks bud. I'm in Newmarket but between jobs so who knows how long I'll remain here. Where are you?

Try to watch it at 1.5 playback speed, or more..
Супер учитывая на какой машине это прошивается.

Hello. This is the best quality wallet I've seen on RUclips. Can I find out its size? Thank you in advance.
Thank you. I got the pattern from this video (below) and made a few alterations to it. You can get the sizes from watching the video.

Is there a pattern for this please. It looks great
Hi Steve. I basically copied the pattern from this video (see link) but made some changes. The basic pattern can be found on this video: ruclips.net/video/uyMTeyGC2Y8/видео.html
Hey Steve, I just remembered I do have a sort of a pattern. Send me an email wm17959(a)hotmail.com
Thank you for the video!
What kind of edge beveler did you use in this video, and where did you get it?
I have never seen one quite like that and I’ve been on the search for a better one for a while now. Thank you!
Hello Barrett. Thank you for the compliment! I found it on eBay a few years ago. Please see the link below.

Very nice craftsmanship sir!
Thank you!
It's just pure neatsfoot oil.
@@jeffallen3382 Hello Jeff, sorry about the late reply.
I had trouble sewing thick leather when I first got the machine and often the thread would break. First I had to find #20 needles, which wasn't easy, but I found them on eBay from China. Most needles this size are made for industrial machine, and they will not work in such a machine. Then I sharpened the needles to a chisel point, you can Google this and see what that looks like. This is how needles used for leather look. The last thing I did was take a small metal file and round off all the sharp edges from my bobbin (but not the sharp point at the front that catches the thread), I think it was this sharp edge that was cutting the thread on a tight stitch. The machine is really not designed for thick leather. The thickest I can go is about 1/4" or maybe 5mm. The thread I use is from The Thread Exchange in North Carolina, USA and it's 100% polyester. Hope this helps, and thanks for the compliment!
@@jeffallen3382 Hi Jeff. I don't know anything about the Tippmann Boss machine, but it looks like a decent machine. If it's in good condition and think $700 would be a fair price, but I haven't looked into it. I've thought about getting something heavier myself but I'm not into this in a big way. If I was going to get into this in a big way I would buy the Cowboy CB6500 machine, but that's about $2500, Good luck!
