Zip Wallet

Took a while, but I finally finished the zip wallet from the Intermediate course... picked up some ostrich remnants from buyleatheronline (wish I would have picked up a few more bundles at the price...) and thought it would be good to practice with... It was my first time doing a zip, but it went pretty well... Can't imagine attempting a project like this without the videos to fall back on... 🙂

Beyond impressive Jeff, especially considering it's your first time working with zips! The quality of finish is there for sure.

A box stitched... desk tray

I've been trying to make some more generic but customizable projects that aren't egregiously time consuming to make, so I took the bottom half of the solid leather box project and decided on its own when made rather shallow it would be a desk tray. After taking a ride on the struggle bus when attempting to cut the 45 degree angles via Phil's method, I decided to use some math, the edge of my granite slab as an index, and a skiving style approach to cut those 45's and was met with a significantly higher success rate.


Also I ordered a die cutter in the shape of the Helldivers 2 skull, a video game I have played absolutely too much of, and used an arbor press to punch the skull out of yellow to give it some nice design elements. Challenge 2: A 1 ton arbor press does not d…

Buttero Bifold Wallet

Just finished my first run through of the bifold wallet build. Really loved this one given how surprisingly challenging it was. First a question (so you don't have to read through my "post build" notes).

Given buttero's stiffness, I'm wondering if I could do away with some of the reinforcement particularly the canvas on the exterior lining and the thinner reinforcement used on the folded double partition? Not sure it matters since it's not adding much thickness but curious anyway.

Here's a few notes from this build The center partition was supposed to be the same color but I sliced it while attempting to thin it down a bit. I didn't have enough Burgundy colored leather left so my only option was a piece of 1.2mm chestnut.


Getting this piece thin enough was tricky until I realized I could use my woodworking block plane to do most of the heavy…

Yes, veg-tan isn't going to need the same kind of reinforcement that chroome-tan needs. It will likely be firm enough already. If you think it's needed, you can always glue in some thin fabric like rip-stop to prevent stretch in certain areas though.

Handmade Violin Leather Key Pouch


ree

Hi everyone! As a long-time lover of both music and the art of handmade craftsmanship, I'm thrilled to share my latest creation with you all: a violin-shaped leather key pouch! 🎻


I poured my passion into crafting this piece from beautiful vegetable-tanned leather, meticulously hand-stitching every detail. My goal was to design something that not only looks unique but also serves a practical purpose – keeping your

keys organized and protecting your bag (and other valuables!) from scratches.


It's designed to hold up to 3 standard keys or some car keys (you can find all the size specifics and more photos on the product page). I think it's a perfect little gift for musicians, violin enthusiasts, or anyone who appreciates a touch of musical personality in their everyday accessories.


I genuinely enjoy creating functional items that bring a bit of charm to daily life.
