Today I had the opportunity to make a bifold wallet out of beautiful navy blue alligator leather. This is a leather i absolutely love and was so pleased to work with.
Working with alligator or any exotic leather can be a challenge, this video will show how i work with it and how is best to go about working with it.
thanks for watching.

What can you tell me about those scissors? You should do a review of your leatherworking tools, Not just the basic stuff but share with us some of the good tools that you use in your videos. Thanks.

It's called a fileteuse, or edge creaser. The most common (and super expensive!) brand is Regad :)

Hello Friend! work on the pattern. this arrangement of natural skin on an alligator looks too thick! believe me, your ends can be much smaller in a vertical wallet
Hi Will can I ask where you buy your alligator hide from? Thanks
