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...)

    @@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.

    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.

    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.

    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.
