Mind if I ask what watch you’re wearing in this? Love the videos by the way
Been wanting to do something similar but was hung up on gluing the case to the leather. I could not figure out the how to get the plastic case attached to the leather securely and this was so simple and a 'duh' moment for me, just sew it in to a backing piece of leather. Thanks for the great video!
I’ve Been working in wood for years and just now I’m starting my journey into leather work. I’m very impressed by your talent and attention to detail and methodology. I certainly learned while watching you put that amazing case together. Great job and talent!
Thank you! And thanks for watching!
Iam loving ur channel, and the way you show step by step how you do your work. Iam a beginner in the art of leather and wishing I could find someone near me here in south west Virginia to talk to me on different leathers and what is good for what projects.
Thank you so much for the support.
Man I knew I was going to regret not adding this one to my recent order. :( Love it.
Your tools are impressive, I’m building a table anvil like yours with my dad. Thank you for the inspiration.
Perfect!!! 🤘
Love Hermann Oak leather you make me want to do more designs, you have really inspired me to do more than one type of wallet. Thank you for you videos love them.
As always.. outstanding!!! Although I wasn't sure it was the right place with that Herman Oak tooling leather...
Right place ?
@@MasconLeather So used to seeing that gorgeous Horween Dublin....
Oh! Yeah. I make what the clients request. And occasionally they want Herman oak. 👍
Man I’m glad I found your channel. I have been wanting to make a case for an IPad and was wondering how to hold it….and you gave me the answer. Gonna steal this idea. Your work is awesome.
Thanks !! And thanks for watching!!
The fact that you’re able to run that punch through nearly 20 oz of leather blows my mind. I’m working with nearly the same equipment and can’t do it.
Thanks ! And thanks for watching!
This vid was just in time, I am down to only two or three left to watch. Great Job. Is this a product you will add to your lineup or just a custom one off job. That case is very close to the case I have for my phone, BUT my case is not all kool and handmade :( Again, great job.
GENIUS and your artsy images online and videos are chic. I love them.
Thank you!!
Great video. Really helped me with the wallet I'm currently making
Thanks for watching!
Thanks for sharing your mistakes. I just discovered your tutorials and I am a fan.
Thanks for watching!
So no finish on top the natural veg tan? No coffee spillage a job well done, Thank you for sharing!
I was good with the coffee this time. ☕️
There must be a good way to make that thing fold easy? Like skipping out the joint or wetting the leather and clamping it closed? Nice job! Fun to watch. The vacuuming sucked but the dog was perfect! Thanks.
People don’t realize??? It’s leather. Natural leather. In one week it’ll fold perfectly and you’re done. And a clean shop (vacuuming) is the blah part of the process, and equally as important as every leather step. Thanks for the kind words and for watching!
Marvelous it's fantastic 👌 thanks allot....... Best of luck 👍 god bless you 💓
I sure would like to make one of these. I've not got any experience in leather work.
Give it a shot !
Do you make your own pricking irons? I’d love to get my hands on some!
Kevin Lee made the big ones
This is a very beautiful craftsmanship on making a leather phone case.
What aluminum squares do you use? The smalls ones. I looked but I couldn’t find the solid ones like those. Them things look handdddy!
I had them custom made by a machinist.
Beautiful work and wise investments in quality tools.
Thank you for that!
Man that's what I need to build next..
Just started watching your channel... you are an amazing artisan. Love the way you make your vids as well... entertaining all throughout. Went on your site and when I save up a buck will definitely buy one of your wallets.
Thank you for the kind words!!! Let me know when you’re ready (I’m currently booked through November of next year, 2022. So it would have to be December or later )
@@MasconLeather Love the Mason wallet... Can you make that in black leather?
I can. Yes.
@@MasconLeather Great! I don't think my wife will mind if I use her debit card... I'm in. BTW... can you make it as thin as possible? Don't want to show a bulge in my pants .. I know, the story of my life.
😆 My items are thicker than usual. I use 5/6 oz leather. Email me at artimus71@gmail.com.
Very nice! Just a beginner but I am trying something very close to this and I'm looking for the tool you used at 10:12 to cut the corners. I can't get those right. Is it called a half round, quarter round? Is there a size? Keep up the good work! Subscribed!
Thanks! Look on eBay. Semi or arc punches 🤘
As always man, Another masterpiece 🤙
Thanks, Dylan!
Como siempre muy buen. Me encantan ver los vídeos y aprender,pero bueno una pena no tener tan buenas herramientas. Saludos desde Galicia.
English translation - “As always very good. I love watching the videos and learning, but hey, it's a shame I don't have such good tools. Greetings from Galicia.” Thanks for watching and for the kind words!!
What type of glue are you using? As well as what are those flat pliers called? Great video!
Barge. Amy roke pliers
Beyond thank you!
Zach Z 👍🤘
Muy buen trabajo 👍
craftsmanship!
Thank you!
Where can I find similar chisels that you used @3:00 to make the pockets? You had a small and large flat cutting chisel and a large almost half circle. Those made it so much easier than using an xacto knife lol
All eBay
@@MasconLeather Thank you, I figured it out!
@@MasconLeather I appreciate the effort and time you put into showing your subscribers how this all works. This is a winter hobby for me and I learn so much from your channel. I'm finally beginning to be proud of the work that I'm doing and it's because of you guys and a few other KZheadrs. Thank you
It seems that your card pockets are really deep? Is this set up to have the cards slot in vertical? Or am I just seeing things? love your work and great job filming!
They’re somewhat deep. Depends on style. And thanks for the kind words !!! Nice when the filming is appreciated and noticed!!
Where did you get that GINORMOUS pricking iron??? The biggest ones I have seen have 4-6 pricks
I have them custom made for me by Kevin lee. 😉
@@MasconLeather ok… thanks for letting me know :) guess I will stick with the 6 prongs for now… maybe one day I can get something like that done…
Beautiful job!
Thank you! I appreciate that!
Where do you get your leather from? Or where are some reliable places to buy from?
Horween direct. “The tannery row”. 👍
esta excelente el tutorial felicidades pana desde venezuela
English translation please
Luv your works, btw, what's the name of the tool you use at 9:45, thx?
Thanks! Tool = Rougher.
@@MasconLeather thx man!
while whatching thinning leather edge (4:49), i said "this is perfect hand ability when i try this, i cut middle of the leather" but after that im sad for you :D
😆
Great job!
Thanks!
I hate iPhones but this vid makes me want one just so I can get one of those cases! 🤣🤣 Love it!
😆 I make cases for all brands. 🤘 no discrimination.
Beautiful
Thank you!
Another great video sir...
Thank you!
Very good. This work is wonderful.
Thanks! And thanks for watching!
Nice job… what thickness of leather? Please thank you.
5.0 oz
What type of handheld sander is that? Also, what is the cutting tool you used at the beginning to cut the sides of the inserts? Thanks!
Sander is a dremel. In the description of the video are direct links to most of the tools I use (including the dremel)
@@MasconLeather Sorry about that. Must have completely missed it. Thanks!
Oh, no problem at all!!! Most don’t think to read the description on videos. So it’s perfectly normal and understandable! Thanks for watching!!
@@MasconLeather I read through it, but didn't see it listed. Thanks for the info!
Love your work ❤
Thanks !!
What tool is at 3 minutes where you are cutting the card to a T lengthwise?
A custom made punch blade made by Kevin lee
I need one plus 7 pro leather case like this style where I get it
Email me
Check on alibaba for big quantity or AliExpress for small quantity
Hello! I clicked on your channel, really liked the products, do you have a store?

No
Your videos are so entertaining. Learn a lot too.
Awe !!! Thanks for that! And thanks for watching! New video coming tomorrow!
Keep the videos coming they're great. I also like the lion king band aid you too must have small children. My wallet currently has Little mermaid and starwars
great done. thanks for sharing
Thank you! Cheers!
Where can source those plastic phone cases from?
Amazon
Good afternoon , how much is a book case for iPhone 11 promax for today ?
I don’t offer cell cases anymore.
Another great product and video. I can’t imagine the amount of editing that goes into a 12 min video. Thanks for sharing your talents. How about a video tour of your studio, tool cart and work surface? I’m always curious about other set ups.
Thank you so much! Yes, the videos take a long time. Days.
Can you please make a case for OnePlus7t !
Awesome case and video. Thanks for sharing. See you back on IG.
Thanks, joe!
What was the reason for cutting the squares of cloth or whatever they were at 5:25?
Canvas. For edge burnishing
@@MasconLeather What do you do with the canvas? Does canvas work better than a wood burnisher?
I use both. Start with wood. Finish with canvas
@@MasconLeather ah I got you. I guess it would kind of wipe any excess stuff off as well. Right on.
🙋♀️Thank you very much.
😊
Are you planning a iPhone 13 pro max? If so what do you think hyena price might be? Thank you
I don’t do phone cases any more
Красавчик бро! Ты злодей!👍😉😊
Wow. Beautiful
Thanks!! And thanks for watching!
@@MasconLeather do you custom make the cell phone cases? I saw u are booked till 2022
I’m into 2023 now. As a result, making cell phone cases isn’t really feasible.
@@MasconLeather hmm.. well you do beautiful work.
Thanks!!
So nice, i wish i can has one😭🙏🏾
You can. Contact me.
Mascon Leather omg.. i am shaking now. Are you really gonna give me one? I am gonna contact you now 🙏🏾
how could get the patron of this fantastic case please ?
Are you asking how to purchase ?
Where did you get the clear phone case?
Amazon
Very nice!
Thanks!!
Very cool
Thanks!
Is it possible to make a phone case without the plastic case under it ?
Possibly. I wouldn’t do it, however.
Y el broche o correa para cerrar
Do you make these in black and for a samsung galaxy note 10 plus
Everything is made to order, per client’s specs
@@MasconLeather how much would it be for a wallet like that for a note 10 plus
Contact me directly. Email. Artimus71@gmail.com
@@MasconLeather ok I will send you a message thabks6
What exactly is that you are punching onto? Plexiglass?
Not with the pricking irons with the curve and card slot punches
Japanese pounding board. It’s a dense rubber
I feel like such a douche asking questions 😂 I've looked and can fing it anywhere. Thanks though. That narrows down my search.
Oh! Rocky Mountain leather. They have them in all sizes.
Where can I buy this case for iPhone 11?
The silicone? Amazon. The leather? I don’t make them for sale
Where can I buy that phone?
Ebay
But I want mine cut with an exacto knife on a healing cutting board mat.
You said “that phone”. Not “case”
Do you have patterns for sale?
Not yet. Coming soon
Does the boss drink black coffee and whisky?
Yep! 😆
@@MasconLeather Let me try
Perfect!! 🤘
How much? Do you have an account on amazon?? I want to buy some
Www.masconleather.com
Now to get it to stay closed
It’ll do anything you want after about a week. Forever
Qual o valor de uma case igual a está ?
English ?
@@MasconLeather How much do you sell a product there in your country?
Prices range from $75 to $3,250
Nice iPhone
👍🤘
How much it's cost you
Email me directly
Very good
Thanks!
Please I want this pattern
Just grab a case and measure. 👍
Thanks
🤘
That wallet needs a magnetic clip it will never stay closed the leather is to thick, should have thinned out the middle of the case with a dremel and why is the case over lapping the phone case so much it should just be 1 - 3m, but everything is beautifully done, professional and quality. Thanks for the video
You’re wrong on a few levels. It’ll stay shut within 3 days of use. I don’t need to thin anything. My clients expect the thickness of my items. Case overlap = the stitching is just visible down the eye line if the case edge. That’s how I prefer aesthetically. If you don’t like that, don’t buy my items. And make yours differently. How YOU prefer. Please let me see your items on social media and public so I can “tell you” what’s wrong. (FYI, i wouldn’t actually do that because I’d only suggest. I’d not demand you’re wrong, as you’ve done here.). It’s called professional courtesy. And thanks for the final kind words after all of your Odd demands. 🤘
Something that will serve you well in life... If you can't say something nice, better to not say anything at all. My only other comment... iPhone wallet, Nicely done 👍
Angelo Abrahamrs next are you going to critique Lebron James style of ball handling? Come one man? The guy has like a year backlog on orders, I dont think he needs any tips on how to do his job
Thanks, Phil !
And you did not think to try to paste over a silicone cover with a sheepskin? The case will be much thinner.
My clients expect thickness (everything you see me make is made to order for a client). 🤘
Precioso trabajo y estupenda realización. Tengo una duda que adhesivos usas. Gracias.
Will you sale me a copy of the pattern?
I don’t sell my designs.
Si mequto. 😊😊,, Oye me encantó tu video pero no en el iPhone de la real
Pero me encantó Me encantó el video y la idea que hiciste cuadros de mi teléfono

@@MasconLeather Just super
Thanks!!!! 👍
Love this kind of videos. A voiceover or some proper music would make it even better.
Possibly in time. Thanks for the kind words, as well
Круто,когда смотрю самому хочется научиться
Translation- Cool, when I look myself I want to learn Thanks !!!
@@MasconLeather Круто, когда я смотрю видео, это заставляет меня хотеть учиться. Cool, when I watch videos, it makes me want to learn.
Perfect!
I’m glad you are willing to show the mistakes you make and leave them in your videos… just goes to show that even the masters can make boo boos :)
Oh geez!!! Mistakes are the best!!! Learning ops. 😆 Thanks for watching!!! Be sure to subscribe if you haven’t already!
@@MasconLeather yes! Exactly! Failure is the best teacher there is! And yes, I am subscribed :) new.y subscribed at that :) enjoying your videos!
Thanks!!
It loos amazing, but might want to add a panel between the phone and card slots, or use a screen protector. CCs can gather quartz and other fine particles from the readers, they are all harder than the screen, so scratches.
99.6% (conservative estimate) of cell phone owners add screen protectors.
@@MasconLeather Conservative estimate at 99.6%? Not sure making guesses at statistics will help sales. Of the four phones in this household, only one has a screen protector.
It’s simple, really. If it bothers someone, get a screen protector. Additionally, I’m not after “sales”. I’m after making the highest quality goods and providing ground breaking customer service.
@@MasconLeather Like I said, it's a nice case, if you put a screen protector on, but one would hope (and maybe think) that this case wouldn't require one. But getting that defensive and making up stats to back your product feels counter productive to customer service, if you're goal is indeed 'groundbreaking customer service'. Like the stat, I would avoid meaningless buzzwords such as 'ground breaking', because you need customers to have customer service and the demand to supply (sales). Mind you, this is all just the opinion of a potential customer, take it however you see fit though it wasn't meant to be antagonistic. Good luck.
All very well said. Indeed. All valid as well. And I appreciate the feedback. If a client requests any sort of “layer” added to the piece, it would be accommodated. 99% of what I do is made to order (as was this piece). So adding something is part of the process. This wasn’t a video to announce “I made this, do you want one”? It was “a client has requested this, I’m obliging, I’ll go ahead and show how I accomplished it for him / her”. It’s certainly not the end all, be all for cell phone case design. See the difference? Your initial comment implied “he makes cases without proper forethought”. When in fact, it’s identical to the client request. That’s all I was inferring. Again, thanks for the feedback. 👍

Translation - “for carrying in a backpack or attach wheels ..” 🤷♂️
Ааа! Теперь понял! Производители стараются сделать устройства максимально безрамочными, высчитывая каждую десятую миллиметра - чтобы потом можно было одеть это устройство в чехол, увеличивающий его габариты 😁
I just make what my clients request. Simple as that
@@MasconLeather It was joke. Actually, it's great! 👍🏼 Sorry, bad english, because it's short.
Gotcha!!! Thanks for watching!! And be safe
