When he cuts the leather, it’s like butter and so satisfying

Two weeks ago I was in Texas visiting my sister's family and two of my nephew's asked me if I was able to make them a leather case for their playing cards. This is awesome. Thanks! I love your videos!

Man I’m a welder and this seems like a much healthier lifestyle.

Yes it is lol. If you get into leather, change out of work clothes to a clean set and be sure to scrub the crap out of your hands. It sucks transferring the oil and stuff from working with metal onto you leather. I'm bad about wiping my hands on my pants while working so that happened to me a few times. It's fun but can be time consuming in the beginning.

I was a leathersmith, and it seems like I spent a lot of time working steel! I find Barge cement to be a sure fire way to never collect social security.

you used a lot of different liquids to condition this project. can you make a video of all the conditioners, paste, gum, oil etc you use and how to use them correctly? and perhaps a nice before and after look to see if that's the intended result we are looking for?

Awesome! And love the aging techniques! Really looks like it has been well worn right out of the box! Nice design!!

That was an absolute joy to watch come together. Beautiful work.

Nice simple project that is really pretty handy. I'd suggest cutting a half-circle notch out of the top front center to help in grabbing the card box.

No matter what I take away from these projects, it's always something. I think this time it was mostly your aging techniques. Thanks very much!

Very enjoyable and informative. Could be the basis for a cell phone case, or a belt case to hold a camera battery or two. Or an Altoid's tin with stuff in it. I like it a lot.

Looks great. I tried a surface burnish with water on a holster a few years ago for an accent, then applied some dye and wiped it off after a few seconds and the result was awesome. I've done it a few times since and it comes out different every time.

Always teaching. Thanks for the tip on burnishing the grain. Will incorporate

Dude... So I've had our Community Gate Key in my car for about 3 months and I ABSOLUTELY LOVE the petina. Thinking "how can I mimic this color?" And BOOM you come in Hot with the goods! I love you.

Also, i found that over time, the snaps leave a little circle on the card box. so I started using collar buttons. still secures the flap but way fewer markings on the decks.

Thank you for sharing your talent with us.

Your content is so good. I just ordered some stuff to get my feet wet after watching your videos.

Nice and thank you! Great videos and leather work, thank you Corter Leather!

Beautiful work. Though I'd add a half round notch for the thumb to make it easier to pull the deck out.

Ive learned so much from your videos. You are an awesome teacher, plus your voice is very pleasant to listen to. I've bought several of your patterns. Thank you so much for everything you do.

A very interesting project. Thank you for posting this.

You are so so good at teaching!

Awesome as usual. Thanks for another great idea.

Stunning Corter 😍

Beautiful work!

I like the worn in look. Always fun.

One improvement would be a thumb access hole at the bottom, to ease the removal of the deck. But, what do i know, youre the creator.

Very nice work, I enjoy and learn a lot from the videos

Another great video!

Great fun project, thanks

Great tutorial and it turned out beautifully!

Well done,great job.

Looks like a fun project.

Thank you so much.. I love this look!

You mentioned you have game night at your shop. I’m wondering if y’all ever play table top games and would consider maybe making or showing us how to make a leather dice bag. As I have quite a few dice in my Collection an a few dice bags… but I think a really nice all leather one would be really neat.

I'd use a cobblers anvil if I had one, but I don't. What I do instead when I need to set rivets like that is slide a 1.5"x3/16th tool steel bar down into the pocket. Happen to have these from when I was making knives, but I'm sure you could use plain mild steel just the same.

loved this. I am a canasta player so would need one to hold 2 packs. might have a go.

Love this case!! would like to learn about wet mold.

question if I may when shaping a bag this way of about this size will it hold its shape if it does not have the playing cards in them im making a belt pouch for my compass and figure I could use a block of wood about the same size to get the general shape of the pouch

Parabéns pelo seu trabalho 👏👏🙏🤝

Hi. I can only see Mink oil creams online! Where do you source you oil? Also, I have cut some patterns out of natural veg tan, and accidentally left them on top of each other in a sun lit room, so some of the parts have been half sunburned!!!! If I go ahead and make the item they are destined for, will daily use sort out the blotchiness over time?

Heads up! This pattern doesn't seem to be listed on the site (as in, not in the products section), it's only accessible through the link in the description.

Maybe a little thumb slot cutout on the leather case will make it easier to get the cards oit

You might try removing a rounded piece from the top piece of leather where your thumb would grab the deck, that way it would make it easier to remove from the case and look good to. You do good work my man, keep them coming.

I'll bet you have a leather case for your coffee cup too. 8^)

Old school!

A belt-strap and it's perfect!! Ty

what kind of glue is it or better yet where can i find a amazon link

What is the thickness of your cutting board?

Is this pattern still available?

Could you please do a video on how to make a leather phone carry case?

Where the heck do I find a huge nylon maul for under $50. I can't find anything that isn't made for toddler/chinese hands. I'm leaning towards just buying a nylon cylinder and making the haft myself but even then it's $30 for just the cylinder.

you mentioned the thread is .06mm that you are using. but the tiger thread listed in the tools and materials link is .08m. did you misspeak or should we actually be purchasing .06mm to do this project??

Beautiful, only thing you need to change is leave a notch where the cards come out so you don't have to dig your thumb in pulling them out. I still want this holder so bad though..

You could make one and add a notch very easily! once it's broken in you just tip it over and the pack slides right out so I didn't add one, but totally a simple modification if you'd like

Good news, card sizes dont really vary much :) Bridge and poker size are the main two. Poker size cards are most common in the US while bridge size cards are more common in europe

My uncle is a well known magician. He goes through a couple decks every show he does. He’d love one of these! I’ll make him one one day. Making mortgage payments comes before buying leather tools…. So I’m told 🤣

Chris Ramsay needs one of these.

👍

I would have folded the tabs at the bottom inside the pouch.

OLD LEATHER SMITH here. Not bad Eric. I have used same in the past. Lately I have used olive oil which has turned out well, I am in the process of trying Coconut oil I will let You know how it turns out. GOD'S BLESSINGS ✝️⚾🙃

This is great. I think I might add a belt loop though.

We used to rely and heavily use Aussie leather finish, but years later, it is clear that the products that we used the Aussie on showed definite and unacceptable signs of degradation. It is like the surface of the leather, what the cortex, sorry, brain not working now, but that real tight surface grain loosens from the bulky, looser grain of the flesh side of the leather. The top grain then becomes dried out appearing (cannot be revived by reapply, or reoiling), and gets wrinkly to the point of the brink of cracking. Anyone use Aussie for a number of years and experience this effect on their leather products?

Cards come in a box. Why would you need another box to put the box in?

It would be fun to punch a cribbage board on the back for travel!

Good video tutorial as usual..Have you had the opportunity to experiment with oxidation techniques for patina on veg tan leather?.. Common 1st Aid Hydrogen peroxide as well as household bleach makes for a varied shade of London tan 5sec to 30sec exposure time..Followed by a good conditioning cream / oil to replace the natural oils taken out by the oxidation solutions.. Baking soda powder used in a few heaping tablespoons per 8oz of water makes a dark brown color.. all of colors can be controlled by exposure time.. a sidenote worth mentioning is bleach is rather harmful to leather and on the extreme side of what I'd personally use..A video tutorial on patina finishes would be very interesting to watch,the different techniques commonly used..
