Thank you for having the patience to teach us and explain the glory that is bump jig. I can’t afford a clicker press but I’ve been using those bump jigs for the last week and they’ve already paid for themselves.
I used to pull my irons using bone folders as well. And I even made a wooden block which was a bit better. But I discovered that the thicker corner piece of your bump jig works best for me. Thanks for the videos and inspiration, Artie.
Absolutely the best leather artist/maker/designer/crafter/etc in the business! Artie you never fail to impress me with your unbelievable talent, you make it look like everybody else is backing up! Another great wallet made, Another piece of artwork created! Something for a lucky customer of yours to enjoy, and to pass on for many generations to come! Thank you Sir for sharing your talents with us! Much appreciated! Just perfect! 💯💯💯
It means a lot to those of us just getting started in leather work to have a "mentor" like you who puts all the effort and time into these videos and instructions! Definitely gives a new leather crafter like me hope that one day I might be able to produce a product similar to yours with such exquisite qualities and characteristics! Thank you Sir!
I just started leatherwork. Ive made my ole lady a nice clutch wallet with a long leather strap that wraps around a few times to close it. Finishing up a wallet for my younger brother’s graduation gift but I absolutely love this style of wallet in the video. Also, stitching without a stitching pony is the hardest thing
Thanks for another great video, you enacted the complete Al Capone scene, Ruger, get out of jail card, your outfit and even the Bulleit bourbon. Great work.
Gotta say Artie. You keep me coming back to making leather items! Your such an inspiration to me. I’ve said it before I’ll say it again, thank you for taking the time my friend. I learn something new every time I watch the same video. BTW don’t forget the “milk” lol.
Man ive been looking for these punches cause i love the way they look on shoes. Ive never been able to find them cause i didnt know the technical name for it. Thanks
I love the vids lately where you talk us through your work. Super helpful. I liked the old silent-era vids, too! I know these take a ton of effort, so thanks so much. This hobby has given me a lot to do over the past two years, and you've helped me improve a tremendous amount. Love the Capone, too! Great design. Until the next one...
I've always respected and loved the beautiful crafted leather work that you do. I consider you one of the best RUclips leather Craftsman in existence. I have recently been paralyzed from the waist down and have got back into leather. I hope you read this because I'm doing something I don't like doing and asking for help. I have a GoFundMe and out of respect for you I will not post a link here but ask if you are willing to post the link on your website if so reply to this comment and I will give you the link and show you some of my work. Thank you for being just who you are because without your goofy playful just all around fun videos I don't know if I would have got back into leather. Again please let me know if you're willing to help. Thanks Wookie
Awe! This is a great comment and I’m honored that you took the time to leave it here. Feel free to post link here. Let people see and have access. Again, thank you! Keep on crafting !
Just starting to play with making things iut of leather and you have a lot of great designs and the like. Personally it would be helpful to me if you would show the sizes and the like on your patterns. In any event have enjoyed drveral of your videos.
@@MasconLeather fully understand but since I have no artistic ability at all Id like a little info so as to at least have a place to start. For instance just watch you make the Tall Wallet I think it was called and i have no idea how tall it is ir what size in folds up too. However even without the details I like watching
Lay out credit cards and paper bills on paper. Then simply give yourself some allowance for sliding in a little, and stitching, etc. it’s all trail and error. Every time you mess up it’s great. You learn more each time.
LOVE the fat wrinkles in that piece of leather you chose great coloration, THANK YOU for taking your time to show us all the little tips and tricks it's much appreciated. Your Haters must subscribe and click the bell for notification because they're up early. ✌
Добрый день! Интересно, доступно и познавательно. Если возможно, то расскажите пожалуйста о персонализации изделий, на своем опыте и что можете посоветовать начинающим мастерам!? Заранее благодарю. Удачи Вам.
I enjoyed you video. I've worked with leather for MANY years and am always looking to learn more. Which of your videos has instructions on burnishing edeges?
Every scene is well staged. I can't imagine how long it takes to render a 25 minute video. I would love to have a clicker press but at the end of the day, I am a hobbyist.
I got you an idea for that wallet or new design from that one. One side have the two cards and the other side two ID slots one for drivers license one for hand gun or college ID. Maybe the chunky charlie wallet is closer to what I’m thinking
🤣🤣🤣 You look like Percy J. Percival "honest, he's honest" from a Three Stooges episode with those old timey jailhouse pj's. All you need is a ball and chain on one of those fuzzy slippers, and a hammer to breaks rocks. I like the "brogue" punches; I've been amassing my little starter leatherwork tools ( most recently I received the worlds tiniest anvil from Amazon to hammer my copper rivets 😂 ), and I'm going to look into some decorative punches now...
Hey mascon , what is that decorative hole punch thing called amd where can i find them do you k ow by anychance i love you videos i watch every single one and your the reason i got into leatherworking i love it keep it up man!
Beautiful piece of art! Thank You! 2 Questions: 1.) Why did you do wrap around stitches at all (why not backstitch?)? 2.) Why 2 wrap around stitches on one side and 1 wrap around stitch on the other side? (I realize you had more leather on one side, but what about the symmetry?)?
I watched the video twice, I didn't hear where you mentioned what the name/type of leather that is....it's beautiful and would love to try and find some!
It’s all in the video description. All the words Under the video. As are links to tools, etc. But to help - leather is Horween Dublin. (Little pocket is Hermann oak)
I have a question for you +Mascon Leather/Artie. If you could do it all over again, would you purchase the Clicker in this video or would you buy a different one? I'm just curious because I see a lot of videos with artisans saying if they could do it all over again they would (Insert here) wishing someone would have told them. Thank you Artie. Angel from The Bay
Thanks!!!! 1. I’ve been so busy. I’m trying to squeeze in some filming when I can. Videos take 4-5 days to film and edit. It’s tough. 2. This video was 10 minutes longer than I expected, so I didn’t include any Chloe footage. Maybe I should have.
So happy to wake up to another one of your videos. This is the best university ever.... Question, where do you personally buy the amazing Horween Dublin, 5/6 oz you used in this video?
Loving your videos. Started working my way backwards, determined to watch them all but I have a question. When you use the bump jigs, why do you use the yellow ruler and not just use the straight jog to cut against? Sorry if this has been answered already. I haven't gotten to that video if it has. Thanks!
Artie - another fantastic video. I was skeptical about the Brogue work, but it looks great to me. Quick question: how do you keep the glue from causing lines on your edges? I seem to always have a sticky glue line unless I paint the edges….lack of talent or patience I presume 😉
If you have thick glue lines from contact cement, you could switch to seiwa glue - otherwise use a spreader instead of a brush to spread a thinner amount. Brushes out the glue in thick, leaving lines.

Great video Artie! Seeing the bump jigs in context during a project is great.
I guess this is the first time I used them in an actual project and discussed it, huh? Hadn’t thought about that. Thanks for watching!!
Been looking forward to a new video. :) Thanks!

Hello
I liked your video
Question
What thickness leather did you use
Thanks!! 5/6oz
Какую кожу вы используете в своих изделиях... Ваши видео очень хороши!!! 👍👍👍
Beautiful piece of art! Thank You!
2 Questions: 1.) Why did you do wrap around stitches at all (why not backstitch?)? 2.) Why 2 wrap around stitches on one side and 1 wrap around stitch on the other side? (I realize you had more leather on one side, but what about the symmetry?)?
Thanks!! If you look close, each wrap around is the first stitch up onto each pocket edge. Holds edge / ends down better. 😉
Where do I get an Olivia? lol great work and explanation. Thanks for sharing.
She’s special, huh?!? Thanks for watching!!
Where do you buy your clicker press die-cuts? Or do you have a recommendation? Thanks you do a wonderful job with theses videos!
Awesome videos! What make are the Mocassins? They look *super* comfy!!
Thanks!!! “Old friends”
I was able to get a pattern for a good wallet, but I think sizing was off. I don't have glue or sewing space. I can add making pieces larger? Thanks
🤘🤘🤘
Nice wallet. Love the jail bird lounge wear. What leather weight do you generally use for wallets?
Thanks!!!
5/6 oz.
I googled prison wallets, and I must say... They look a little bit different compared to this one.

Hey. I'm sorry I'm new to leather working. What's the tan on this leather you are using? Thickness?
Dublin. Horween. 5/6 oz
Excuse me sir, can i ask something?
How to sharpening the beveler tool n how to use beveler tool to thin leather?
Try stropping first. I rarely sharpen.
Where do you get your clicker dies
Try weaver leather
What is that single loop around stitch at the opening of the wallet called?
That’s a great question!
what thicknesses of leather should be used for these work good work sir
I use thicker than normal. So what “should be” used is subjective. More info in the video description
I have a question for you +Mascon Leather/Artie. If you could do it all over again, would you purchase the Clicker in this video or would you buy a different one? I'm just curious because I see a lot of videos with artisans saying if they could do it all over again they would (Insert here) wishing someone would have told them.
Thank you Artie. Angel from The Bay
It's heaven and magical! Absolutely. The 4 ton would probably be plenty sufficient, however. I just can't say for sure. I've never used it.
WHERE do you carry that? Just wondering
Where do you buy your leather man, I love the look.
Horween
Great work man, a big shout out from down here in West Texas.
Gorgeous leather - Horween? Veg tan?
Dublin is a veg tan. With some secret sauce added in the tanning process.
Nice video. Great for beginner and intermediate. Two questions. Where have you been? And where's. the "Play with Chloe Break"? LOL Cheers.

Im going to try out something on the lines of this design what dimensions is this wallet?
I don’t sell my specific designs. Part of the fun is prototyping. Trial and error. Etc.
