Holy crap that's amazing
Thank you 😊
This is a nice and high-quality mobile phone case. It's always nice to see someone making high-quality things.
Thank you 🙂
It was my first project. And it was great. Some parts I was missing some details so made some mistake. But in total very happy. Thank you 😊
Excellent work and clear explanations. I enjoy all your videos. Thank you!
Glad you like them!
Thanks for the video, i make leather things to myself, with diy tools i made and that will be my next project, i realy like the way you explain, sorry for bad english i am from Brazil and i have learned english all by myself with music and movies.
Nice and intersting work! Thanks for sharing!
Thank you
Awesome idea, I was thinking of making a new wallet and I need a new case for my phone. behold the phone wallet. Thank yoooouuuu.
ITS REALLY..REALLY..'THE BEST WORK I'VE EVER SEEN'I LOVE IT😍
Thank you 🙂
You are incredibly skilled. Thanks for the video.
As you might expect, experience will improve the film making techniques. However, your curve has now taken you to a very high level. As good as it gets. Your films now showcase your work as they deserve. I understand that the required length of the film mean that you cram a lot in - I have to watch several times to follow the process properly. A good way to increase the number of views. Seriously, great work, very well filmed. Keep it coming
comme d'habitude un très joli travail parfaitement expliqué, merci Jo.
I loved what you did. I added my own twist to it. Instead of stitching down the case, I use magnet attached to the case and phone wallet to make it removable. The casing i am using have a raised side, thus I am able to glue a thin piece of leather to the back of the casing with one side of the magnet. Now I have a removable phone wallet :D
That's a great idea!
I'm myself a bit paranoid of bringing magnets close to memory cards :D
Awesome video and instructions! Thank you for sharing!
Great video. Thank you so much for sharing the pattern making tips and construction techniques.
No problem, glad you like the video 🙂
Outstanding video. I just got started in Leather crafting and love. the entire medium of creativity that comes from working with leather. Thank you for the tutorial and design idea. Cheers.
Glad the video was helpful 👍
Such skilled hands! Beautiful work.
Thank you 🙂
Great job! Congratulations!.
I really Love your quirk Knife styous
Class work 😎👍🏽I'm enjoying every minute...
Thank you 🙂
Great Job! Thanks for sharing, I always learn something new from your videos.
Thanks Rick 🙂
I,m very happy bec wotcing to you
Use 2" wide black grosgrain ribbon for the card pouch pockets instead of cutting strips of cloth. Grosgrain ribbon ravels only on the cut ends but not along the sides. Prevent the raveling on the ends by searing with a cigarrette lighter.
Thanks for the tip, I'll have to purchase some 👍
@@JHLeather 😊 Be sure to get grossgrain and NOT satin.
Hah! Love the doggie.
Great video thankyou. I'm looking forward to giving it a crack this weekend. I'm going to try it with some tooling on the front of the case.
Awesome!!!!
So entertaining to watch, thank u!
Glad you enjoyed it 🙂
Really great video. The video editing and sound quality is awesome!... Oh and the content is good also!
Beautiful peace!
Thank you 🙂
@@JHLeather Im just started leather work. Its hard but fun
It sure gets frustrating sometimes but it is the best craft to be involved with 🙂
You do good job lady
Thank you 🙂
Tanks for this great tutorial. I noticed your leather splitter. Could you please advice me where can I buy like that?
Hey JH, nice work . First time to your channel I really like it. Very good job. I think I'm a stick around for a while. And maybe MAKE and follow you. Thanks for sharing and I'll be watching.
Thank you 👍
I looked around for a video like this one and I think this is the best. I'm trying to design one for an iPhone 13.
Thank you 🙂
Show parabéns lindo trabalho
I love it Nice work
Thanks 😄
What a great video 👏👏I would like to try and make one for my wife have subscribed 👍👍
Go for it!
Excelente trabajo 👍👍👍
Thank you 🙂
wow, you are amazing. Your job is very good. I want to learn how to make leather phone wallets. A very good business right now here in my country, Venezuela.
Hope this video helps 🙂
Do you add 1/4 to the total height and width or to each side?
I am going to try and make one from pleather😄
Arm... I hope this is an autocorrect.... Sounds creepy. 😈
Is the leather a drum dyed bridle?
So well one and weel Explaining good job but the magnetic is it bat to te creditcard in it?
Thank you, I have been testing with these magnets and I don't think that they are strong enough cause any problems.
Hello. What is the name of the machine in which you thin the material (minute 3:42)?
And that glue will just hold that fabric in place? How long until it comes undone?
Amazing 😎 new subscriber here
Thank you 😊
Excellent as always, I did something similar, the only difference is I carved a dragon on the bottom of the card pockets, the customer really liked it. GOD'S BLESSINGS ✝️⚾🙃
Can you make a wallet for Sony Xperia 5 III?
Хорошая работа!!!
Thank you :-)
nice!
Thank you 🙂
J. When you were stitching the credit card panel to the tabbed panel the thread looked as if it had glue residue on it. Is that the case? If so is that just a simple wash off? If not, what would it be then?
Hello Sarah, it's bees wax that I use on my threads. It helps protect the thread and helps to smooth any fluffy bits down. Jo
I thought it'd be fun to give this a try, and thankfully found your video, I'll just stick to buying them I guess 😅
🤣 🤣 I've just completed a MKii version in the workshop this week, was a bit of a head scratcher but got there in the end.
@@JHLeather that's awesome, I'd love to have another hobby to try out during covid but this looks tough! And all the tools 😲
It's a great craft to get into but yes, there are a few tools needed....
But you can do allot with say... $50 of tools and stuff you've got laying around the house.
I want to learn leather crafting.
Great but do you have to use imperial dimensions? I really only use metric, millimetres and centimetres.
You can use google to convert them in to mm
@@JHLeather Yes, I'm aware of that. It's just that when I hear too many five-eighths and three-quarters, I get tired. 🥱
hello congratulations for your videos, I would like to ask you if the base where you make the holes is lead? I mean the metal base at 12:45 minutes
Hello, yes I use lead punching block.
@@JHLeather Excellent idea I will build one myself
[newbie warning] Another ace video. What is that mini axe head-knife you used so I can order one? Many thanks in advance. 👍🏻
Hi Elliott, I use a single head knife. The one in the video is custom made but you can get a similar one from George Barnsley and Sons..
Does anyone know if there is a version of this where the phone is magnetically attached/detached from the wallet portion?
What bevelers are you using?
Hello joe, what number canvas do you use for rubbing edges
I use linen canvas as my stain cloth
Where do I get your stich prongs from. They are beautifully
I got mine from Abbey England www.abbeyengland.com/abbey-traditional-pricking-iron-set-right-hand-9942.html they do both right and left handed ones as well as a cheaper set which is also very good.
Awesome job. Where can i get those magnets from?
Hiya, I got them from Etsy. Just have a Google for magnetic bag closure and they should come up. Jo
I’ve been using one of these for a year or so now and while I love the design, I’m finding that the inner fold between the two panels is suffering badly from wear. I wonder if there’s some way of mitigating this? Or perhaps you could come up with a v2 design. Thanks.
Check out this video: kzhead.info/sun/pqemh7SOfnqOZ3k/bejne.htmlsi=dCnOHHFBE8abbAS6
may i know what is the last process you did with an iron rod? it seemed like your heating it and what is the purpose of it?
The tool is called a screw crease and it draws a decorative line along the edge of the leather. By heating the crease it gives a better and more permanent line. Hope that makes sense. Jo
@@JHLeather super thank you :) impressed and subscribed
Microwave for heating?
What type of glue are you using? I bought one from Amazon but I want to puck in a hard study case in its spot
I use contact adhesive, specifically bostik 6092
@@JHLeather I’ve bought a case from Amazon. Would you be able to make a video of how to replace and remove the phone case to add a new one. I’ve bought the tucch leather case but want to replace the soft case with a hard heavy duty one.
I have a question. How long (hours) do you need to produce this phone wallet from start to finish? It seems to be long but nice work.
I made one today in 3hrs 👍
Wow that‘s very fast! It took me 5 hours to create my first one :) Thank you very much for sharing your knowledge with us and for creating great tutorials.
What oz and type of leather did you use for this project?
Hiya, I use 1.5mm vet tanned shoulder to make this project.
I have a Pixel 7 and have been unable to find a suitable case. There are a lot of option but none that really solve use with the phone. My first problem is that it has to be capable of a wireless charge so no metal can be use on the backside. Second problem is that the opening for the camera has to be bigger. I would prefer it to be made smaller but that too has problem associated with it. In order to be able to use the camera, there has to be a fold in the middle of the back so the case can fold back over itself. So far all of this is doable with your beautiful design. The one issue that I have is position of the magnetic strap. Rather than have the strap on the phone side, I would rather have the strap on the card side. That way I don't see the strap when the wallet is open. In fact, I would like to eliminate the strap altogether. That's my biggest problem - how to create a strap that doesn't get in the way. Or, how to create a locking device that works without creating a wireless charging problem. If you can solve that problem you have a winning solution. Every case out there for a Pixel 7, and possibly other phones as well, has the strap problem. I was wondering if you could just make the smallest possible strap that just folds around the edge of the phone and into a loop, like a tight belt loop, and just holds it there? It doesn't even have to be a strap. Just a way to keep the phone closed. Basically, you just keep the phone from opening if its dropped or mishandled, etc. Do you think that would work or is there an even better solution? As to the case, beautiful. Very nice workmanship! Thanks.
probably an silly question but what glue do you use?
Hi there, I use contact adhesive, specifically bostik 6092. It's used a lot in the shoe making industry and is super strong. Jo
J.H.Leather why you don’t let dry the glue?
I had the same question
How long was this build, and how thin is your leather?
Hello, the leather used in this one was 1.5mm veg tanned leather
👀👍👍👍💖💖💖
Why dont you glue the pastic directly one the case body?
You can do that but you run the risk of the glue wearing away over time.

It's contact adhesive, specifically bostik 6092
@@JHLeather thankee
bonjour peut on avoir le plan de montage s.v.p merci a l avance pour le trouble et beau travail bravo
Hiya, I don't have any patterns for this as it is dependent on the phone you are making the case for. If you follow the video it says how to create your own patterns.
What kind of head knife is that?!! I’m using a box cutter as of now but want to invest in a better cutting tool
I use a single head knife that I got custom made but you can get them from a company called George Barnsley and sons 👍
I am assuming you are English living in the UK (Tesco Card) , why are you using inches?
I trained as a saddler and it is all in inches.
can we make request?? and you make it and i can pay for shipping?
I do custom orders, if you would like to have something commissioned please email me on info@jhleather.co.uk
For those that don't like the hammered hole punches, try these. I use them on all kinds of material. www.harborfreight.com/6-piece-hollow-punch-set-67030.html
How much for you to make me a leather protector case I can attach my pelican voyager case for a Samsung s2o fe 5g?
Супер
Thank you 🙂
Amazing work, although I have one question. It appears the cloth stoppers for the credit cards shown at 6:09 are glued in place. Did you stitch those later? Thanks again.....KB.
Hiya, nope they are just glued in. I used contact adhesive which is super strong. I did a load of tests before and didn't have any issues so no need to stitch.
😍👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👍😘🇧🇷
Beautiful, professional leatherworkings. Quality that lasts. Not like that iWish chinese plastic shit.
Thank you 👍
Nice - it's about time you got a decent hammer, and a Watt Crispin at that. Now it's time to upgrade that mankey punch-plate you use. At least change out the plastic.
May I know what's the temperature you set and how long you place your edge creaser on top. Very interesting approach. kzhead.info/sun/ZJuLc8aQmYiJdKM/bejne.html
It's not a very scientific approach, I set the plate to full power and then after years of using it I generally know when it's ready, usually about 30 seconds. Have some scrap leather to test on so you know if it's too hot.
@@JHLeather Thanks for the tips ! Great Guru Great Video !
Как называется кожа и сколько миллиметров?
Hello, is 1.5 mm veg tanned shoulder leather.
I just want to make a travelers notebook. This is way too complicated
Magnet destroy your credit card, keep caution
That used to be a problem with magnetic stripe cards, but these days almost all cards either use an EMV chip with contact pads, or a wireless RFID chip.
