Tanner, you bring so much to the leather craft world, not only do I enjoy the quality of your workmanship with the items that you make & design, it’s the manner in which you present them that is so calming & easy to watch. Thank you for taking the time to provide us with such fantastic content also.
your videos are so great, currently i just make leather axe sheaths but after watching your videos I feel confident enough to make more complicated goods.
Man, this is such a subtly awesome pattern. The valet tray idea is so classic, but also done pretty much the same way every time. I love how unique this design is. Great work, for real.
Nice design, and as usual 2 quality videos. Keep up the good work and look forward to more videos and maybe a bit of your other work and beautiful location.
Thank you so much, Mark. I appreciate that! The location is pretty white and icy at the moment… but beautiful nonetheless. Thank you so much for your support! -Tanner
Tanner, thank you for your videos! I appreciate the time you take to explain how things are done and how you make everything seem so simple and easy. Your craftsmanship is amazing and I can't wait to make this valet tray!
Tanner, great video! I’m just getting into leather work myself and am so thankful that folks like you take the time to show the world what you’re working on! Subscribed.
love the look of this tray, great vid! new sub here, im just getting into leathercraft and this is going to be my first project! Just grabbed the pdf through your link, i think it'll be worth the investment for me, im going to crank out a few of these for friends and family!
Thanks! They work pretty well, and I would recommend using a heavyweight leather. I have made them in 9 to 10 ounce firm leather, and they work quite well.
Nice project! I have recently finished a product and applied a well known leather balm to the item. Applied small amounts in circular motion and buffed out by hand. Item was sent recently from Va to Florida.it arrived with white swirls which I believe is bee wax which appeared after shipment. Do you have a preferred method for buffing leather. I had rub with cloth and will use horse hair brush. Never used any power buffers. Never had this issue. Thoughts/recommendations are appreciated.
I think I have experienced what you're describing, and I think it's sometimes referred to as "bloom," where the wax in (or on) the leather comes to the surface over time depending on environmental factors. This is sometimes unavoidable, and I wouldn't worry about it too much! All it tells you is that the leather is well-nourished and all it should take is a little buffing (I like to use a soft cloth) to work the wax back in and buff off the excess. I think it's really reasonable to explain this to the customer and assure them that this is normal and just a sign of well-loved, well-nourished leather. Cheers!! -Tanner
A nice change from the usual snap or stitched corners but I got to ask, how did you come up with the pattern. Trial and error pieced together to obtain measurements for Adobe pattern. I could see myself attempting this in that way (minus Adobe). Guess you really got me going. Good (GREAT) job.
I actually started by wrapping masking tape over a metal tray I liked, then peeled the tape off to make the beginning of a pattern. Getting it digitized, eventually, was the final step!
Hi Peter! This was a leather I got from Maverick Leather- it is an 8/9oz Italian veg tan (I think it was called “Douglas”?). I just checked the site and didn’t see it there… but I have found that a heavier/firmer leather like this works great for the tray, especially if you scale it up and make it larger. Thank you for your support!! 🙏🏼
Hey! Sorry for the confusion… it’s coming! The video is currently “unlisted”, so I am surprised you somehow found it! 😅 Yes, the pattern will be coming ASAP… stay tuned!
I appreciate you watching- while I don’t attempt to make the cheapest patterns out there, I do aim to make the best that I possibly can. I do offer free patterns as well- hopefully you’ve taken advantage of those if they look good to you. 👍

Leigh, thank you so much for that. It means so much!! Thank you for your support, and enjoy your pattern!
This is a beautiful design! Great job!
Very nice using the scrap leather to get into the tight spots with the edge beveller. I will be using that tip in the future, Thanks.
Thanks! Yeah- I love learning little things like that by watching other people! Glad that was helpful. Thanks for watching, Mike- cheers!
Great work... And great video quality with well chosen music, instant subscribe

I've always loved your valet tray design - just as functional but definitely stands out from all the rest! Great video as always too!
Awesome! Thank you!

Awesome! Thank you!
Thank you so much for your videos
Thank you, another great tutorial!
You’re like the Mike Rowe of leather!
Now THAT is a high compliment! Thank you!!!
I'm half tempted to make this for rolling dice with dnd. No true corners might mean less cocked rolls
Can't say I've got much experience w/ dnd, but if you try this tray, let me know how it works!
How did you get that shade of green? Love it.
Great project, Thanks!
Thank you! I appreciate you watching!
Think I will try a suede backing on it.
Really nice design. Can’t wait to try it out:-)
Thanks so much, Pam!
Love the pattern, too much for me right now but will purchase it soon!
I sure appreciate you watching! No hurry to purchase... as long as you're having fun with leather, that's what counts! Cheers! -Tanner
Super great!❤
very cool
Hey Tanner! this is awesome! How were we not subscribed to your channel?
Inspiring me to get into leather working. Cool stuff! What thickness of leather are you using here?
Brilliant
Thanks, my friend! I appreciate you!
Thank you
Thank YOU! Cheers, my friend! -Tanner
Great stuff. How would these work without the sewn in botttom?
Thanks! They work pretty well, and I would recommend using a heavyweight leather. I have made them in 9 to 10 ounce firm leather, and they work quite well.

Buen trabajo , que marca y modelo es su navaja amigo ?
Beautiful work! What leather and weight were used for this project?
Thank you! This was 8-9oz leather, an Italian veg tan I got from Maverick Leather!
What oz leather did you use for this? Thanks!
New subscriber here. Great looking valet! But, how do you get the pdf? Thanks again!
Thank you! The pattern is available on my website- I think there should be a link beneath the video! (claridgeleather.com) Thanks for watching!!
Do you have a recommended edger tool size you use for most of your crafts?
I usually use the size 1 Palosanto edger 👍
What is the size of the tray after folding? I couldn't find your size on the website, thanks a lot!
Tanner can you tell me the leather you used in this video including the thickness

What size punch did you use for the snaps?
1/8” 👍
Tanner, just but the pattern on the link provided in this video. Looks like that leather has both sides tan…wha is it ?
Good morning, where can I find this template in PDF? I live in Brazil
I think there’s a link to my website (www.claridgeleather.com) in the video description. Thanks!
What oz leather did you use?
I have used 6 oz up to about 10oz, but I think that video shows 8-9oz. Firm temper works great.
i somehow cant find the pdf-pattern... is there a link somewhere?
Hey! Sorry for the confusion… it’s coming! The video is currently “unlisted”, so I am surprised you somehow found it! 😅 Yes, the pattern will be coming ASAP… stay tuned!
$18 for a pattern? Most are $5 or below elsewhere.
I appreciate you watching- while I don’t attempt to make the cheapest patterns out there, I do aim to make the best that I possibly can. I do offer free patterns as well- hopefully you’ve taken advantage of those if they look good to you. 👍
I have bot seen much from you. I hope you are ok.
Thanks, Mark- in a really busy season of life at my “real job” and with my family. Leather has taken a back seat for now… thank you for checking in!
pattern should be free
