[khoiphan92]

[corter]

Wowza.....That looks nice, full pics?

i'll post full pics in a couple days, i just finished it and want to get it sent out and let the owner see it first. it's a dyed/processed inside, not fabric, but it's something i've been fooling around with for a while that i've finally figured out.

thanks for the kind words guys

Corter do you have patterns made up for your various styles or just have the measurements locked down for the constant pieces then alter the needed parts for customers?

[dibadiba]

wallet on the right is a basic wallet I made for a guy in california. tanned it for him for a bit, colour is turning out real nice. wallet underneath it is a long wallet that I'm almost finished (just have to put a coin fastener on it, then sew that part up)

[prowler]

here's a new one:

finally someone that didnt want black detailing! it's a mid w. a snap and 5 cardholders, brown and black layered dyes and glazes on the detail.

looks great!!

to me it seems like it is thinner than the normal snap wallets!?!

is it possible for you to make wallets not that big....

speaking of 0.75 inch instead of 1 icnh or something like that....maybe with the use of some thinner leather???

[corter]

that mid was only around .5-.6" thick, i dont use a lot of extra layers so my wallets tend to be thinner than 1"

thanks for the kind words!

hey guys really great stuff...

anyways is there any definitive guide for a begninner? like a total noob at this stuff. for taking care of leather, and then making leather goods? i searched on this thread a little and couldnt really find anything. i read the thread and picked up some info, but it really doesnt make mch sense to me.

im really looking for a way to take care of the leather and need the the knowledge of the tools and type of leather i should be using.

any help is really appreciated

Decided to try out a belt this weekend, can't wait for some evolution.

[corter]

made this guy:

and this little guy:

and experimented with this burst dye technique:

now that school's out, hopefully i'll get some new pics of all the pieces i'll have time to finish

[corter]

oh, and...

[mrpenguin354]

Always love seeing your work corter!

The burst looks interesting. Almost looks like the leather is pre-distressed, but in a cool way. Someday I'll have enough money to support the corter fund...

[corter]

a nice little bifold:

and i'm almost done with my mom's new wallet (late birthday/mothers day gift), it's a bright purple long wallet which is her favorite color. i'll post pics when i'm done

amazing! not used to seeing the concho on the bottom of the wallet, but looks damn good...

[corter]

thank you sir!

i'm finally able to get away from "make me a flathead wallet" so i can be more creative. I have to go to work now, but i can't wait to finish my mom's wallet tonight, it's so funky lookin

[corter]

here it is! bright purple long wallet for mothers day. natural inside.

[beatle]

Bet you mom loves it...purple is wild !

[rome1]

purlple is defenitly something you dont see that much of. Nice change up!

[lamb.]

i realy like the cleaness of those last 2 bifolds, nice work.

[lamb.]

Here's a wallet i made for a friend , it's pretty much a design corter made. It was just for practice.

the color is off on this one, but this is how it fits in my hand.

[hamburglar]

the one u made me is wayyy better

[themexican]

just finished this case for my i phone. i am stilll learning so i used scrap leather, though i kind of like the character it already has ( only treated with obenauf's)

[hamburglar]

[corter]

bringin it back! made this in a day, my hands are bleeding

[dibadiba]

props corter. being a fellow walletmaker, I can understand the patience you must have is amazing. How long does it take you to make each wallet, if you don't mind me asking? I lose track of time fast, it's seems like anywhere from 8-10 hours though

[corter]

depends. I can usually do cardholders in like 1.5 hrs, bifolds and regular snap wallets in like 4-5, depending on how sidetracked i get watching tv or going online. some of the most complicated mids and long wallets have taken days, literally, just getting everything perfect, making multiples of things because i wasnt happy with em, and designing detailing in sketches, etc. i'd say average about 6-7 hours per piece, but it really varies.

post some of your stuff!

[dibadiba]

yea, that seems about right actually. I usually multi-task and talk to friends and browse the web while I work. here's a few shots of some stuff I've made lately though...

[corter]

oof, use nicer leather man! you're getting there though
