I own a GlowForge Pro and use it for this all the time. I do not like letting it make the sticking holes. I get it to make a MARK for me to punch the hole, but you cannot get the soot out of the holes, so it makes the thread dirty as all get out. I just do a .25 mm hole and hand punch a 1mm. It is a bit slower, but the final product is a lot cleaner. I also learned to take the back of a blade and scrape the soot off the edges before you remove the tape. I love that you are using it to put in a pattern. Wonderful look!
Also don't forget the smell. Some people to this day won't touch my leather goods after touching an early design.. before I learned to seal it with acrylic.
This video is mesmerising. Just hearing the crystal clear audio of the work being done is just pure bliss. Who needs the pumping beats (which has now been done to death!) and energetic shot transitions to make a great video. Bravo to that man.
I absolutely love the straight stitching. Also, that you only burnished the outer edges and left the interior with laser burned edges. Very nice contrast.
It has been awesome watching you grow as a craftsman Ryan. From your workspace, to your equipment, and as an artist. You are an inspiration. Keep posting And keep up the good work.
Yep, after almost a half a year of watching your videos. The Wood Slicker is still my favorite part for some reason :-). I do not make leather goods but your videos are just so relaxing. Great company while I am editing.
Love this! Really nice craft. As a comment to all the "this is not hand made"-comments. The stitching is immaculate and the edge burnish lovely. Try finding that in industrial products. I'm transferring from hobby to business and saving time without compromising the end product is the main objective. For the customer it makes no difference how the leather is cut. Being hand stitched and laser cut is a better end product than hand cut and machine sewn. Keep up the good work Ryan! Your at true inspiration and a guiding star for me as I try to navigate the murky depths of growing a business!
Very impressive. However this setup in my own work shop would remove much of the fun for me me. I enjoy the design phase so much: making patterns by hand, sewing samples with cloth before cutting hides, etc. I guess I love the struggle but, I don't do leathercraft for a living. Great work, thanks for sharing!
Yea I hear you. When I first started leather craft everything was done by hand. This video is just to show what you can do with a laser. I won’t be using this in my work too often. It’s meant to be a prototyping machine and to cut acrylic templates.
@@LittleKingGoods I understand. To be candid, I'm a bit jealous. I've started using CNC lasers to add detail to some pieces (I like the look over carved/stamped detail). Consider me a skeptical contemporary of your work. Keep it up!
This is genius… Loss of a just a liiiiittle bit of « craftsmanship » (for purists), but gain of time and precision, with a perfect result thanks to your skills. This video gives a lot of ideas, thanks a lot!
Very tidy workshop. It would be nice to see a video tour of your workshop. Placement of tools and why you have organised it in such a manner and why the design works with your creative process.
Have you had any problems with light colored thread picking up soot as you stitch? I have heard you can't clean the soot out if the stitching holes so lighter thread can be a problem.
mind...blown. very cool. I also really enjoyed the cinematic shots + no music...definitely very different from what you typically see these days in RUclips videos.
Ordered my glow forge last night now they arrived in the UK. This was the inspiration. Used your link for the discount. Thankyou for the videos you’re an inspiration
So this looks the same as the SD vertical wallet but is bigger. In the smaller version that I bought the template for… what would be the use of those outer pockets?? Just decorative ?? Sorry… I just found this again and was going to make a gift for someone. Thanks man !!
For the future, when you’re using your laser. If you wet the leather just a tad bit, it will lay completely flat and resist charr and smoke marks. Saves a lot of time on masking and clean up
I have successfully cut up to 4-5oz, I think 6 might be a stretch on it, technically it should fit (given what 6oz leather is and what the critic can take mm wise) but not all leather is the same thickness throughout... I use the cricut for all my leather cuts and it works okay, but preparing the mats and taping things down can be a pain. The glowforge would be a awesome (Expensive) upgrade, as it can do holes too for stitching. Saving a lot of time creating those to hand stitch.
Oh my!! I have a Glowforge and I have been experimenting with leather. I make earrings, but wondered if I could cut out patterns for wallets and such. Thanks again for sharing your awesome gift with us.
Brilliant! From the production to the product, and love the fact that your shop is spotless to be able to work in your socks speaks to your professionalism and product. I'm a fan.
Any particular technique for edge dyeing after burnishing? I've tried it and it never worked for me, the paint didn't catch too well and clumped up towards the bevel.
Hello , This is a great video. You make some amazing stuff. I am looking to start using Glowforge for leather craft and am just wondering what kind of leather would you recommend using with it. I am located in Canada and looking to order from OA Leather Supply .Could you also provide details on the leather used for this project?
WOAH what was that trick you did with tying the knot on your needle thread?? Also 🙏 would you please share your laser settings for cutting? I’m not a fan of how GF’s preset feels so if you have something else, I would love to hear it! Amazing work as ever!
So... are you saying that the SD card wallet pattern that you link to also fits nintendo switch cartridges? I dont think SD cards and switch cartridges are the same size.
great work! thanks for sharing. how do you get clean stitches when you do laser cut? i find that inside of my pattern holes are burned and when i do the stitching my thread gets discolored and it doesnt look good.
Hi, noticed the sand paper you used in the video looks like a dust free disc sandpaper. It’s not the same one you listed in your material list. Where can I purchase the one you used in the video? Thanks so much.
what weight of leather do you use? i use leather in the GF but it is usually thicker and doesn't cut like butter. Also, when i use masking tape, it tends to pull the leather up and doesn't recover very well. this was a great look at how great a project can be using a laser cutter. Great video and even better end product!
The GlowForge must save you a ton of time! 7 minutes for cutting and punching, is incredible. How much time do you think it saves you in a week of regular work? Sure, I know you need to adapt ALL of your designs to work with it before actually saving time, but it must be an impressive number of hours saved per week!
I’m interested too. Cutting takes me a long time and design even longer. Getting hand made leather with computer accuracy would be great. Definitely looking into getting a laser.

@@jimshepherd5291 Do you seal it with acrylic before or after you print it?
soak your leather before putting in glowforge, it realllly helps with the charring. and sandpaper afterwords !
Air compressor, maybe?

Well, that's an awesome new toy. And here I am still printing cardstock templates out for my projects and dreaming of a clicker press.
Im still hand drawing mine on acrylic
I using wrapping paper (it all I have ) for template..
@@kelzcarruthers9859 I was using toilet paper... then when the stores ran out of TP I was forced to buy a glowforge.

A video on template creation would be very helpful, and entertaining!!!
Reminds me of the work of Woolly Made Wallets, Fantastic crafters too. They cut their wallets with lasers and handstitch them too.
Somebody's having fun with his new slider!
Seriously though, very nice work. Nobody shoots these types of videos better than you.
The little crowns add such class to the wallet, magnificent. Are you wearing a leather ring ?

Muy hermoso su trabajo y su maquinaria me encanto muchisimo felicidades
What type of buffing pad are you using to remove the leftover pieces of tape?
Your garage studio is absolutely beautiful.
Travail minutieux et impeccable. Magnifique
What are the round pads you use to buff the leather? I've not seen those before and can't find them in your list of supplies.
So satisfying, brilliant craftsmanship 💓💓💓
mind...blown. very cool. I also really enjoyed the cinematic shots + no music...definitely very different from what you typically see these days in RUclips videos.

Thanks so much Richard!
Your camera work has me thinking, "This is the way"
Epic craftsmanship!

Sorry… I just found this again and was going to make a gift for someone.
Thanks man !!
Why is this so satisfying to watch
Эстетическое наслаждение!!!
Would your pattern on your site work directly on a glowforge or is it a printer only design?
Как же это эстетично и красиво выглядит.
For the future, when you’re using your laser. If you wet the leather just a tad bit, it will lay completely flat and resist charr and smoke marks. Saves a lot of time on masking and clean up
Beautiful job!! Love your style of video editing so sick!!
my gf just got a cricit cutter (300$) i cant wait to use it for leather stuff! it cuts leather up to 6oz!
MrNategeo cool my mom did too didn’t know it could cut leather definitely gotta try it out
I have successfully cut up to 4-5oz, I think 6 might be a stretch on it, technically it should fit (given what 6oz leather is and what the critic can take mm wise) but not all leather is the same thickness throughout...

What is the adhesive-backed paper you are using to protect the leather?
Link is in the description under tools and leather. 🙌🏼
This pleases me mightily.
Oh my!! I have a Glowforge and I have been experimenting with leather. I make earrings, but wondered if I could cut out patterns for wallets and such. Thanks again for sharing your awesome gift with us.
Nice work Little King! Can you please provide a link where to buy masking paper/tape? Thanks!
Link in the description under leather supplies. ✌🏼
me too please sir) thanks
amazing job
What is that paper that protetcs the leather?
you are the MKBHD of the leather world
AWESOME MASCHINE ❣️ I want this 4 my Shop!
Silly Question…. Which video shows how to make the SD vertical wallet ????
Thanks man … I appreciate it !!!
Brilliant! From the production to the product, and love the fact that your shop is spotless to be able to work in your socks speaks to your professionalism and product. I'm a fan.
Hello! I love your content but at what point does it become factory made? It feels like it’s headed in that direction
Any particular technique for edge dyeing after burnishing? I've tried it and it never worked for me, the paint didn't catch too well and clumped up towards the bevel.
what kind of edge dye do you use? straight leather dye? or acrylic edge paint?
beautiful work. great video.
Amazing. I have been following Glowforge for years... such a compelling product for the creative world
Beautiful! 💞
What are those round pad things you burnish the surface of the leather with called?
They are just called buffing pads from Tandy leather.
Hello , This is a great video. You make some amazing stuff. I am looking to start using Glowforge for leather craft and am just wondering what kind of leather would you recommend using with it. I am located in Canada and looking to order from OA Leather Supply .Could you also provide details on the leather used for this project?
Watching you work is so dang relaxing. Thanks for another great video!
Do you find you need to do anything about the soot in the holes? Or do you just ignore it and stitch away?
What was that hot knife/pin you used on the finishing of stitches?
How do you like the laser holes vs using traditional irons?
Thanks for a great video. Please, what masking paper product do you use, and what is your source?
There’s a link in the description 👊🏼
Beautiful work🙌🏽
🤟🏽What is the name of the paper that stuck to the skin for engraving? good job, thanks
Link in the description. It’s a masking tape to prevent burn marks.
So I have to know do you prefer the Glowforge stitching or using your machine stitcher?
What are the white pads you used for cleaning?
I am in love with your work
Why did you sand before you stitched the outside? Thanks!
WOAH what was that trick you did with tying the knot on your needle thread??
Also 🙏 would you please share your laser settings for cutting? I’m not a fan of how GF’s preset feels so if you have something else, I would love to hear it!
Amazing work as ever!
What kind of leather is that? I heard glowforge cannot cut Chrome tann.
What temperature did you set your glowforge on ?
So... are you saying that the SD card wallet pattern that you link to also fits nintendo switch cartridges? I dont think SD cards and switch cartridges are the same size.
From start to finish how much time are you looking at for one wallet?
Sweet! That laser looks like a lot of fun to use.
Friend ... you are lucky !! Here in Brazil we do not have quality tools. We must import from the USA or Canada and pay 100% taxes. Good Job!!!
Amazing job man !!! Please tell me where i can found that brush or what it is that you wipe the soot after burning? Thanks.
great work! thanks for sharing. how do you get clean stitches when you do laser cut? i find that inside of my pattern holes are burned and when i do the stitching my thread gets discolored and it doesnt look good.
Do you use Vegtan Leather? If not try using it. It chars a lot less.
Hi, noticed the sand paper you used in the video looks like a dust free disc sandpaper. It’s not the same one you listed in your material list. Where can I purchase the one you used in the video? Thanks so much.
I don’t use a dust free paper. It’s regular sand paper at a higher grit. 600 or 1000
완벽한 지갑이네요😆😁
It is an Absolute joy to watch you work! Karen Florida
What type of leather was this? Chrome?
Spectacular!
You make it look so easy
Love it.
Good news, your discount code applies to UK (glow forge has now arrived for UK)
Just out of curiosity, why is this called a Photographers Wallet? I really enjoy watching your videos, very professional.
Thanks! This wallet holds SD cards in those little pockets. Up to 6.
This thing is so dope. Definitely look like it speeds up your work for you
thanks glowforce
Is it necessary to first soak your leather in water?
Amazing work!
So wonderful watching you work. This wallet is awesome!!!
what weight of leather do you use? i use leather in the GF but it is usually thicker and doesn't cut like butter.

Any leather can be cut with laser?
quick question, what is the tape / paper he uses on top of the leather to engrave ? any ideas anyone ? would be a great help !
Was that contact transfer paper that you used on the leather before placing it into the Glowforge? I should try it with my JTech Laser on my CNC.
There’s a link in the description for it
Little King Goods me too please paper) thanks
I've been waiting for a vid for so long👍

What rotary knife is that you are using?
Nice. No clicker press needed. Good to know. Thank uou
Hey do you have a recommended site to purchase leather from
All of the information is listed below the video
you just blew my mind
What is the foil used to prevent the leather surface from burning? Keep going!
Dimitar Panayotov it’s masking tape. Super wide
you are just an artist ❤
Amazing job man. That laser is slick!
Great job Ryan!
I Enjoy your videos, I am looking into starting up leather craft as a hobby now.
this was awesome thanks! how bad was the burning leather smell?
