OK so I know this is really unrelated and random, but I really need your help. You remember your mandalorian gun prop video a while back? Yeah, that one. I just watched it for the first time and I really want to make it for my dad for Christmas. Problem is I'm 14 and don't have most of the tools and materials mentioned in the video. Can you help give suggestions on how to still make the stuff, but easier? For context I do have a 3d printer and a chop saw and a bunch of smaller tools, but no bandsaw, laser cutter, airbrush, or lathe. If you see this can you help?

This has made me realise that just chucking all my cards in my pocket isn’t the best idea

I think even though it may seem to be a more scruffy way of carrying your money and so on, i still think it to be a more safer way than a wallet, .. because if you lose your wallet, or if its stolen or forgotten etc... you lose Everything.

Beautiful work Bob!

I was LITERALLY thinking of doing this myself last night. Just as something fun and interesting to try.

I made a card wallet out of 3mm carbon fibre sheet a few years ago. It was just 3 pieces of carbon fibre. I drilled and countersunk loads of holes around 3 of the edges (to keep the dust from becoming airborne I had a plastic box half filled with water on my drill press), glued some Black cloth to the insides to add a little friction and stop the cards from falling out, and sewed around the edges with thin bungee elastic. It looked cool as frig, and worked well, but it did have a bit of a habit of making holes in pocket linings. :)

Bob just wanted to flex his stack of cash.

I've had that $5 bill for over a year now.

Perfect time to be inspired for a project like this. Gift season! And nothing beats homemade! From my limited leatherworking experience, your original design of using two base pieces was a stronger option instead of folding the base as one piece. Burnished edges have more strength and last longer to wear than an exposed, folded edge. Meaning, over time as you slide the wallet in and out of a pocket thousands of times. the folded edge is going to wear away while your burnished edges stay strong. Great project! Thanks!

Little leather working tip: when glueing a piece of rough side to the smooth side, take an awl and make scratches on the smooth side's glue area. This gives the glue a little bit more surface area to grab on to. :) Also for all those asking about RFID blocking, I believe Tandy Leather has RFID blocking paper that can be cut with a utility blade and glued onto the inside of each pocket. I don't know how effective it truly is but if it's something that will ease your mind, then it can't hurt :) plus it hardly adds any bulk to the wallet. :)

I made really similar design one. I did not have a hole chisel, so I sanded both sides of a steel nail, and punched it hole by hole, guiding myself with a kitchen fork.

Bob, I'm a leathercrafter and have the exact same trouble when doing a saddle stitch. I have found a decent workaround using a tool called a jerk needle; it's basically a stitching awl with a crochet hook near the tip. Super easy to use, and produces a decent stitch, also is able to be used semi-quickly (it's still hand stitching after all). Otherwise this project of yours could have been done easily using that machine of yours, just a simple u-shaped pass to close your 3 sides with a continuous stitch would have been enough. I Hope to see more leathercrafting on your channel in the future!

Gotta say as a leatherworker, major improvement over your older leather work! Can I suggest dip dyeing, large sponge applicators or thinned dyes for applications like that? Helps keep the dye coat even. Skiving the edges of your pockets helps give them a more pleasing shape, and rounding corners will tend to keep their destruction down. Don't forget to edge dye before you gum tragacanth. For burnishing out the leather on your marble and burnish just off the edge of the marble, so the marble supports the edge you are working on Oh and edge bevel your edges! That will lead to rounder, cleaner rounded edges when burnishing

I have often thought I would enjoy leather crafting. Great video, thanks for sharing.

Nice little project. My regular wallet came with a separate card holder, and honestly I hardly carry cash, so I have only had the card holder on me the last year or so. Drivers license, credit card, Safeway card & Costco is all I carry now. It also maintains a very low profile in your pocket, sometimes it feels like it is not even there.

You have cool ideas.

Bonjour! Et Merci.

I like how it came out. For anyone who wants to make something similar, I would say round the corners to help with any unwanted folding and dye the edges before slicking them. If you don't have the gum stuff use beeswax and if you don't have that sand the edges good and use water, it wont hold as well but if done right you should still have a beautiful end product.

Awesome video! That is the kind of wallet I'm looking for and no one seems to have it. If I had the tools, I would try this.

A really helpful tip for making wallets and other such things is when making stacked pockets for the one on the bottom cut into a T shape so it will look the same but will have less material and will keep the overall thickness down

My dad would like this for Christmas thank you for the tutorial.

On the topic wet leather will retain the form it dries in... try 3d print something like your logo an press it in to the leather. If you like that, try some thing "topical" with different highs (and slopes). And press the leather with that...

I made one of those out of wood but for sure im going to give this one a try!

Nice project. I have the Saddleback version of this wallet, bought before they jacked up their price.

Looks awesome. If you ever do it again, consider making t slots for the inner pockets instead of full size cuts. It will slim down the wallet a bunch. And it will make it a lot easier to punch and sew because you aren’t going through so many layers

You should get a piece of springy metal and fold it into the perfect angle to give the opening a bit of a springy feel when you want to insert cash in the center. They can be held on by little rivets and if done just right it would give the wallet more character on the outside.

I hope Bob had a look at his Bits video when he got confused with the sanding process. Great idea for a wallet. I hate big bulky wallets in my pockets.

When I first starting working with leather a few years back everyone (on youtube) was carving a stitching line into the leather. For some reason nowadays I find that everyone is marking their stitching lines instead of carving. Does anyone know if there's a benefit to this difference, or if it's purely personal taste? Fantastic video though Bob! I love seeing more people get involved with leather work.

From a hobbyist leathercrafter here who have done this for around five years. It's actually not that common to put the two needles in the hole at the same time. (Even though some people do it like that) Nice wallet, and it will just get more and more beautiful with patina.

I know not everyone has access, but I’ve been playing with using the laser to cut out your pieces and stitching holes. Seems to work really well and takes out some of the nervousness of keeping your tools in a straight line.

That's really smart!
