Well this was unexpectedly awesome. Came here for a deck box option, and now I'm getting into leatherworking!

I enjoyed the tutorial. Your are a very good instructor clear and articulate. Thank you

This box makes it look as if you have cards powerful enough to duel a pharaoh into submission.

Man, you are like a superhero. You can really work fast! Like the original Superman movie when he flies around the Earth to turn back time to save Lois Lane. Nice video! Thanks!

legible, simple and quick, just stodoys plans.

Hello, I just watched your video on making a leather card box posted 8 months age. I want to thank you because it was very informative. I am looking into working with leather and it was very useful to watch see the work in action.

Chris & Amanda, great video. I picked up a couple of tips from this. I recently (a year ago) got into leather working, and I use a Dremel with the rubber mandrel to smooth out rough edges. I've also found that gum tragacanth works extremely well with it. Hope to see more videos. Cheers, - AJ

A suggestion, put a couple of drops of dish soap in the water, your leather absorbs the water more completely and bends easier so easy the block of wood is not necessary. I have found this works even when you are moulding your Leather around an object. Questions feel free to contact me. ✝️⚾🙃

Thanks! I used your tutorial and made 2 beautiful deck boxes. Trial and error to achieve a workable pattern but the rest was just as you demonstrated. I'm lucky to live in Minneapolis as we have 2 Tandy Leather stores here. I had enough veg tanned left over from another project and I made a trip for the hardware and TA DA. Thanks again!

Very nice process to learn. Thank you for sharing this information with us...

nice! I've been getting interested in working with leather & this demo was super helpful (& don't even want to make a deck box). but this answered so many questions

Thank you for your videos Tony

Woooooooooooooooooow! it's a savage deviljho T-shirt? awesome, and awesome tutorial

Uno de los mejores tutoriales de youtube sobre trabajar el cuero. Gracias de verdad por el vídeo, me ha animado a meterme en ello como hobby. (Lo siento por no ponerlo en inglés pero quería expresarme apropiadamente y con exactitud, estoy aprendiendo xD)

great job brother

For stain, I use the little sauce cups from Chinese restaurants. They work nice for epoxy, too.

There are some crazy cool loking deck boxes around the internet, but they're all crazy expensive as well. I may actually try to mae my own. Also it's really satisfying when you accomplish something like that!

Wonderful really thank you.

I know this is for leather, but this gave me an idea for some paper trinket boxes... And such a lovely leather piece. Almost makes me wish that I still played magic to make this box to keep a deck in. XD

Really digging that Hadhafang replica you got behind ya. Nice to see a fellow LOTR nut.

That is one badass looking sword in the background Also, pro tip, have music or a voiceover in the time lapses

Thanks for the excellent tutorial. Beautiful box amigo.

Excellent tutorial.

I could use this for tarot cards! Sweet!

I've been really wanting to start this hobby! Thanks for this!

Hey Jeremy, The pattern we used in our video was our own design. We're not sure if you can buy one online, but try using some cardstock to come up with something of your very own! :-D. If you have any other questions, let us know! - Chris and Amanda Vestri Productions

I’m so glad I found u again xD I remember looking up tutorials for costume design a few months back and when I stumbled across u again, I totes recognized that sword in the background 👌🏽👌🏽👌🏽 subscribed! Long overdue 💖

Solid Devil Jho shirt!

im not interested in making stuff with leather, nor do i play card games and to be honest have no idea why this video was in my recommended but i still found it really interesting

Fabulous work. Amazing.

Beautiful work. Very nice quality.

This was actually really neat to watch, and you made it look so easy and accessible to a beginner. I've always admired handmade leather pieces, though I can rarely afford them. There is something distinctive and charming about them. I do a lot of my own sewing and have considered trying to dabble in leather before, but it looked complicated or difficult. It still seems like it takes a fair amount of skill and practice to become competent, but it doesn't feel impossible after watching this. A little bit of mood music during the silent parts might be nice, though. I have a really hard time concentrating on just one thing, and it was a struggle to watch those very interesting assembling parts, even though I was fascinated. I guess it is a bit of a weird suggestion, and picking music to please everyone will be impossible, but there's my two cents worth. :)

Amazing! Thank you for sharing it with us!

First of all I would like to thank you for the tutorial. Very well explained and detailed. Thank you. I have had trouble finding a catch that gives enough height to close the box. Only meeting for wooden boxes. Already added that with pushbutton does not look too cool haha

Bro I might get back into leather working just from watching this video

This is fantastic work,and a reasonable price for the work involved. I'd love to see more easy to follow, one piece designs! you do a damn fine job of showing the process clearly and explain it all well. good work man. have a sub and a like.

Great demo! Thanks for sharing. By the way great shirt!!!

Nice to see a Monster Hunter fan. Devil Jho is a fun fight

needs a belt loop or some kind of loop to attach it to something for carrying around

just a suggestion if you are making a lot of these and have at least a larger base pattern you like (even better if rivet placement is part of that) you can probably get a local metal shop to make you die to cut from your leather just using a few clamps for pressure at the right points and save your hands a lot of cutting and use less material by putting the shapes closer together

Greetings from Germany! Nice video! Just one... advice? My sister is a satchelmaker, she uses a halfmoon shaped knife to cut out patterns. I tried it and it is so much easier than using a pair of scissors and it gives you a much cleaner cut than an exactor knife. These knifes maybe are a bit more on the expensive side but they are truely worth it.

That was an awesome tutorial. Thanks!

awww so cute

Best use of a Yoga mat ever.

Looks like a nice box to mount on a belt. Maybe for hunters/survival to use as a tinderbox or something.

That's an awesome sword behind you

Your channel has so much potential, I enjoyed this video so much, I would love to see more leather work creations, and it would be pretty cool to make swords and other such stuff tutorials for the sheath and decor! :D

Great tutorial, thanks for the ideas.

Well done!

wow,you're a good worker,i think this is a proffesional work,Careful details to achieve a good product,thanks i learned a lot :) ,suscribed!

Nice work, thanks for the info.

fun tip: if you use the wood smoothing wheel instead of the plastic one, you can thread a 1/4" inch bolt in the middle and chuck it into a power drill. Dont use the plastic for this, itll warp

love the shirt.

You should also mention that you should make sure that the surface of your leather is free of marks or defects before tracing your pattern. If you find any blemishes on the smooth side of the leather, circle them on the opposite side to avoid placing your pattern there.

nice job ! Vestri

Thanks for the video! Can you upload the template link? Thank you!

i will have to learn how to make this for my sons cards

Have you tried or considered adding the holes to your template instead of free-handing it? As you were holding the leather with all the holes in it, I was thinking that I would have laid it out on the template and marked the holes there before fastening it together. It might make the second build faster.

Great vid! Do you have that template for download? Do you use any particular software to make templates? Thanks!

Thanks, I needed that.

This was really good, I might have to see if I can work out a way to make a bigger box (might need an internal structure). If you have seen the Transformers TCG, some of the cards are nearly the size of an A4 sheet of paper.

arwens sword is really beautiful

i'm gonna make a giant one for my cards against humanity pack!

Your a monster hunter fan I like you even more for that

Neat cardbox, maybe I will have a go at this later to make a gift. What is the music title at the end of this video? I have heard it before and I have never been able to find out where it's from.

Why do you use scissors to start and just use the exacto knife? I am new to leather making and want to know what your reasons are? Thanks

I use a low temperature dehydrater.

So awesome. Thanks. :)

i just realised you're wearing Stephan Amell's campaign shirt! :O Awesome tutorial by the way!

The thing you doing at 12:30 is called Burnishing, not Molding. You're slicking the loose fibers down so the edge isn't unfinished.

Green Arrow!

Tendrás la plantilla con las medidas?

For leather items like this deck box is it necessary to condition the leather periodically to extend the life of the leather? If so what do you recommend, would the leather new work for maintenance?

PS I just saw the size of the little box I need something at least 8 inches high and 8 inches around maybe 10 around and 12 High thank you

Thank you for your awesome video. Just a quick sugestion! Put a sound in the timelapses it's easier to digest them! I will subscribe!

Wow! Awesome video, really explicative! Also, I watched the link with your products, I was ready to bet that the deck box would have been like 70€ or more, and seing it at 40€ was a surprise xD Maybe one day, when I have money to put in this......... :D

Great tutorial. Can you please provide a link where did you find the decorative rivets? I can't find carved rivets in that small size. Thanks

Just kind of randomly ended up here... After you fold the creases with the block and started re-folding the edges, why not use the block to press them instead of just your fingers? That makes more sense to me; you'd get a better crease, wouldn't you?

hola, hay alguna posibilidad de que le agregues subtitulos en español a vídeo, me gusto mucho el tutorial pero no se ingles. Muchas Gracias

Nice, thank you. What is the thickness of the leather?

awsome

Random question- where'd you get that sword on the wall? If you have a link I would appreciate it

Can I get the template that the deck box is made from? If so thanks a lot.

Where can I get the project with the drawing and measurements?

This video gives me conflicting feelings, of wanting to feel dominance over my fellow duelists, but I also want my lunch money.

good

Is there a disadvantage to using the exacto for the whole cut?

It would be appreciated if you would also sell the pre-cut leather with marked hole positions included. Thanks in advance :-)

Your adjustable gouge looks different from the Tandy's one, darker and better built. Is it a premium model or something? Thanks for the great video

Keep some D&D spell cards in this. That would be sick.

HE WAS WEARING A DEVILDJHO TSHIRT OMG I WANT THAT

What latch did he use?

Rivettes are not good for card boxes, cards tend to catch in them.... have you tried to cover the internal part with something like microfiber cloth?

nice work. how thick is the leather?

How structually sound would this be if I upscaled it? I imagine this could be made big enough for books (For LARPing, for instance) however I worry about the edges falling apart. As someone with experience in leather, what are your thoughts?

im drying to design my own template, what is the inside dimensions of the box? i want to make mine big enough to hold a commander deck with thick sleeves.

What type of leather did you use that was so stiff ?

would you consider this a good beginners project?

Wouldn't using some strong magnets be a decent idea? It's not going to lock anything in if you shake it rigorously but it should keep everything inside even if you flip it upside down. It'll be less hassle. Great video, btw.

What weight leather did you use?
