Making My "Oak Leaf" Leather Wallet
This is my first video in a few years so please be patient with the quality of the camera work lighting and the dozen other things I will improve upon.
This video shows most of the steps of making my "Oak Leaf" wallet. This particular color is my "Saddle Tan & Oiled" version that is hand dyed and hot stuffed with oils and bees wax.
You can find the wallet on my website (www.101AcresLeather.com) for US orders or Etsy for international orders. (www.etsy.com/shop/101AcresLea...)

Wonderful piece of work buddy! Keep videos coming!
Nice work,, inspirational. Voice overs are convenient but for builds like this the work flow is perfect. It’s all about efficiency.
Wow ! Awesome prep on conditioning the leather and great design. I like the mustard glue sauce, “I put that S+x# on everything “. Cheers.

@@101acresleather Sorry, I'm new to this world. May I ask what are you talking about? Is that bottle at the begining? And was just dyeing? Sorry for the ignorance and thanks. The end result was ridiculously professional. Amazing.

@@justoalejandrogonzalez5097 I use two types of contact cement. Water based cement is easy to work with but the solvent based cement is difficult to work with. One big problem with the solvent cement is how to best apply it to the leather. If you put the cement into the mustard bottle it is a good solution. The bottle does not react with the solvent, you can keep the glue thinned easily and it makes putting the glue onto the material very easy. The bottle at the beginning is the leather stain, the second bottle is the leather oil and the third paste is a mix of oils and waxes. I hope this helps.

You can get them from Tandy, Buckleguy or other places, just search for brass rivets and you'll find a bunch of places that sell them. You can also use Chicago screws instead of rivets.

This looks fabulous. What is the skiving tool you use please
@101acresleather
Жыл бұрын
For this wallet I do not skive the edges because it would make them too thin. There is a max of three layers but mostly there are only two layers in the thickness. Because of the design the bulk of the wallet thickness is because of the cards that are put into it.
Excellent video, the wallet color is beautiful. Do you build it for sale?

It's just a matter of time/cost/price. Using the machine is fast and the stitches (and glue) hold very well. If you are making a special wallet or want to highlight the stitching you can easily hand sew the wallet with some really nice thread.
Thanks for the dryer tip... Just want to know, u won't give dye dry off time before?
@101acresleather
7 ай бұрын
No, I will dye it and condition/hot stuff it all at the same time. That keeps the leather from getting stiff after dying and drying.
What type of rivet cutter are you using? It seemed it may be a compound cutter type and appeared to sheer the rivets pretty easily. What size rivets were you using? I’m using a farriers nipper to cut #9 rivets.
hola, una pregunta, que tipo de remache ocupaste, y donde se pueden conseguir, yo solo eh visto de cobre.
I really like this. What weight of leather do you use please?
@101acresleather
Жыл бұрын
I’ve tried a ton of different weights and leathers. Most of the wallets I make of this design are 3-4oz Hermann Oak. The thickness and temper of the leather work very well for the wallet. The turquoise one is Italian leather and that is 4-5oz but the leather is a lighter temper. So somewhere around that weight.
Satisfying to watch, now how do I get one....

@@s.engelsman4521 Thank you for the great feedback. Your suggestions are very good.
