Making a Crocodile Leather Wallet (Free PDF Pattern)

Тәжірибелік нұсқаулар және стиль

A classic bifold made with Himalayan crocodile leather
In this video I make a classic leather bifold wallet using Himalayn crocodile leather in a matte finish. For the interior of the wallet I use some orange vegetable tanned Buttero leather giving it a bright look. For the cash pocket I use a thin french calfskin leather which keeps the wallet thin and makes it very practical.
Materials Used:
- Himalayan crocodile leather
- Buttero vegetable tanned leather interior (1mm and 0.5mm thick)
- Baranil French calfskin leather cash pocket divider (0.5mm thick)
- Fil au Chinois Lin Cable 632 linen thread (0.51mm)
- Vernis edge paint
- Paraffin wax/Beeswax mix
- Leathercraft cement
- Contact cement

    You know, I've watched hundred and hundred of videos about leathercrafting. I love clean projects and micrometric precision. And you are the best, you are in an other dimension. You really impressed me. You care about every little detail and operation, even the way you scratch the leather is surgeon level. Everything is so straight in this video, the way you show us the panels and recorded the video... I' m sure you struggle sometimes in your daily life with a such amount of perfectionism 😅 You have an industrial precision in your human hands, this is what 99% of leathercrafters don't have. I just watched your instagram and the consistency of your stitching is outstanding. It's a shame you don't have an online shop. You are brillant. Keep going, this is your way.

  • @TeranAtelier

    @TeranAtelier

    5 ай бұрын

    Thanks! All the alignment happens when you stick the two halves together with contact cement. Using needles placed in the corner stitching holes helps a lot with this alignment. After stitching the edge you will need to sand the edges to clean up any minor imperfections along the edge.

  • @TeranAtelier

    @TeranAtelier

    Жыл бұрын

    Hi, the center-bottom part is stitched before joining the internal and external halves together when you have already planned the positions of the stitching holes. This is an optional step and most crafters do not stitch across the bottom or remove the bottom 'square' from the inside panel and then are only required to stitch across the bottom of the exterior panel.

  • @TeranAtelier

    @TeranAtelier

    10 ай бұрын

    Thanks! In my designs the innermost dotted line is the stitching line, the middle continuous line is the final project outline, and the outside broken line is some extra 3mm trim allowance. Trimming after gluing adds an extra step but will give you straighter and cleaner edges to work with for edge finishing. It is optional but recommended.

    9:22 Am I thinking about this wrong? If you chisel in the stitching holes with a Diamond stitching iron from the face of both halves, then you sandwich those halves together, so the punched sides are facing away from each other, won't the diamond shapes be facing opposite directions? The way you have it laid out, the top hole of the orange will angle into the wallet towards the center, but the top hole of the white will angle away from the center towards the edge. So those holes can never really line up well?

    The slanted shape of the holes on the two pieces will make an 'x' where they intersect. This is fine and your needle will pass through the center of the 'x'. When chiselling the holes, the hole centers must line up or it will not work. I have made a video showing the steps to this method kzread.info/dash/bejne/eayExJNyltmshrg.html

    Beautiful! It is always pleasure to watch a raw animal hide being turned into a new elegant handy product! Being just curious, I have a question: Do you have any use for the rest of the skin? Maybe some small leather goods as a watch strap, but I think even a good watch strap requires a carefully selected piece of skin... Have a great time!

    Thanks! I do my best to use as much of a skin as possible. At the time there was not any smaller crocodiles skins available so I had to settle with one larger than I needed. There are still quite a few projects left for this skin from the belly and the tail. I am also thinking a Himalayan watch strap would look good too.

I believe each animal is unique, each has a different pattern, each skin has a different format... So, really an adventure to think out what products you will make of each skin, isn’t it? But generally, can you make a (nice) watch strap from any part of a skin? Considering for example a crocodile and a stingray - is there a difference because of the pattern? Is it hard to choose where to cut the crocodile skin for the watch strap so that it has a nice structure?

    @@lukasbejcek8841 Yes I started wearing my watch after. It is always fun to choose skins and imagine how each project might look. Any part of the skin could be used but they may have very different looks and would depend on personal preference. It is important that it is not too thick so you can still get any contouring to show up on the top surface otherwise it might be a bit too flat. For scaled skins like crocodile is really important to plan both sections so that they are mirrored and look balanced across the watch, you definitely want the the scales to be going in the same direction and be similar sized. For stingray you just need to match the size of nodules or if you want the 'diamond' part on both straps you need to use two skins which wastes a lot of leather.

  • @TeranAtelier

    2 жыл бұрын

    I think there are two issues with that. First is that the crease lines would be bit too close to the edge of the leather for my liking, an FN3 creaser might help for this. Second is the order, after stitching you should be hammering down your stitches which would flatten out any creasing you have done. I have seen someone use an adjustable edge creaser to make an extra crease line for stitching, that seems to be a good idea.

    It is a bit hard to get used to if you have previously only used polyester. The fact that is so solid and round is the best part of it as it gives very neat looking stitches. I recommend using a small needle like a John James #4 and before threading it through a needle, hammer down the end flat and it will easily slip through. Also make sure that you wax the thread before stitching and also midway when stitching long edges.

    Melting the ends thread only works with polyester/nylon thread and even then can end up looking poor if not well hidden. Linen thread does not melt so it it is locked in place with a combination of the waxing of thread, gluing the tips and tucking it back into the hole to hide the tip. This method works quite well and the thread will not come off if done properly.
