The Redditors seem angry (as usual) that this wallet isn't for sale for $50. There's about $50 in materials in it so what's my time worth? Nothing? There is a lot of work involved in an item like this which isn't conveyed by a short video when it's edited down, they take a long time to make.

A machine will produce quantity. A man will produce quality. Masterwork, very solid i like your videos man keep em comin. Handmade wallet would cost fortune here in Germany

While I prefer my wallet to have burnished edges and to be unlined, that all preference and doesn't reflect how wonderful this piece is. I respect when people can create something so lovely and you can tell how much time and care went into making this. I applaud you, your skill set, and for sharing it with others. Keep up the great work!

"Poor man's folding machine," classic. Thanks for these videos, it is a pleasure to watch and the music is always a treat.

Watching this makes it seem that this kind of thing is very calming and almost meditative to do.

Hello Mr. Atkinson, I've watched this video 2 yrs ago while drinking beer, and that night I've decided to learn leathercraft as a hobby. Today, I make wallets during my days off and I earn extra money from those. Thank you for this inspiration.

I've just binge watched wallet making videos for 9 days straight without sleep, this one is by far the best and seems the most skillful.

so beautiful , handmade wallets rocks ,they can stay with you for ages ,my grandfather gave me his handmade leather wallet that he bought in the 1940s from Italy ,the leather looks so vintage and it looks very new from the inside ,i use it everyday , the thing is that some people doesn't understand that the materials that are used in these things are high quality materials and that this kind of things will stay with you forever ! i bought many cheap wallets ,they last for a month then the whole wallet starts to fall apart ! thanks for the video ,you are very talented ! and i love the music in this video !

The music..Your work..The art..it all made me cry! Bless you and bless your beautifull hands doing all this lovely work.♡♡♡♡

You sir, are the Bob Ross of leather goods. I find your videos informative and serene.

What can one say ? Except the whole thing is fabulous, the tuition, craftsmanship, the expertise and the video filming, just right. It is a credit to you and grateful thanks for sharing it with us !!

Congratulations Ian for your craftmanship !receive my telepathic hug from Acapulco,México by myself an avid rumanian violin player in Acapulco orquestra fascinated always by leathers craftsmanship !

Respect for the patient and craftsmanship too it's a job with passion and love .

Absolutely worth the money in my opinion, people are only mad that they cant afford such a lovely piece. will be purchasing soon! keep up the good work

It is a pleasure to watch someone who puts so much time and effort and skill into the leather work that you create,

love how organized the person was, I'm definitely inspired. The music was great as well

Beautiful workmanship! I immediately checked out the etsy web-store... VERY reasonable prices ! Now I know what I'm getting my wife for Christmas! You just earned a customer!

Wow, very impressive. I can see all the time and effort that goes into making a quality leather wallet.

Didn't understand what you were doing half the time, but sure was fun to watch. That fold-it-over thing was sure clever. And that device that held your work while you stitched - great idea. Nice calming music. I will never have the patience to try this. Excellent work.

That reminds me of my grandfather, he did this for a living. He had a little workshop here in germany with 5 people that produced leather pouches in the 80s but because of the china market he had to close. I still have some samples and i sometimes helped him to press in buttons with that little machine : ) I also remember that hot iron thing but he used more like a petrolium lamp to keep them hot or something like that. And that white glue, he had the same. We called rubber milk. Of course the stichting was done with machines, two older women did it back then. It was more like mass producing but in small charges.

This beautiful music makes me remember when I was a child and we could watch the wonderful Hollywood movies...

The “ Blue Danube Waltz” The perfect work of art to play with yet another Leather Work of Art. Wonderful 🎶🎶🎵

one thing I want to say, you have a lot of practical tools, even some of them made by your self. The wood edge folder is very useful, will make one by myself.

Sir I usually don't comment very often but I gotta say this is one of the best wallet tutorials on youtube!!!! My hat off to you sir!

I have no idea how I got here, as a retired leather Tanner I appreciate the quali of your materials and craftsmanship.

Great choice of music. Incredibly long process,you do beautiful work Ian! I wonder if leather workers ever even make minimum wage of the projects they make. You’re an inspiration to us all.

You get what you pay for and this is pure quality.Keep up the awesome work fella.

videos like this show just how much time and work goes into each item. Beautiful work.

This is Real craftmanship! I mean Who the hell would want to buy one of those carbonfiber, bluetooth tin cans to store your money in, rather a really good quallity leather wallet! Great Job btw and an awsome video!

I don't know how I stumbled here, but I'm glad I did, it was interesting to see the process and how much care and detail went into it. Yes, your wallets might be considered expensive, but anything of quality is.

A brilliant display of excellent craftsmanship enhanced by the music played during the synchronized swimming scene from the film, "Caddyshack." Well done, sir!

Your attention to detail and patience resulted in perfection. Functional art...Well done!

I have been seeing your videos for a few years and I am very very impressed over how far you've come. I hope you can make a decent living off your craft because you certainly deserve it.

Incredible craftsmanship. I think sometimes the work that goes into this kind of stuff is pretty under appreciated. At least I know I used to overlook the amount of time and skills needed to make sheaths and wallets like the ones you make. Really cool stuff.

From the music and the calmness of the video to the beautiful product, Very nice!

i love nice wallets. and i can say the price on the shop is quite cheap actually for the quality and precision used to make this. i will buy it for even 200 usd. great work mate.

That was great. There were tools and methods in there that I had never thought of before. You have quite a craft! Thanks.

Leatherworking skill increased by 1.

Sir you are a true craftsman and stunned at your beautiful work

quality vs quantity. Very well done. You are a true leather craftsman. I would gladly pay for one of your quality wallets, knowing that it won't fall apart in a year. Thanks for sharing .

Se avessi anch'io tutti quei marchingegni, avrei meno pensieri per come realizzare uno qualsiasi dei progetti che faccio. Complimenti per la maestria 👍

A work of art. I can't imagine how many wallets I would have to make before I could make one as nice as you did.

A little bit too expensive for me but what a great advert for demonstrating what you're actually paying for. If I ever have the money I'll definitely get one specially made.

It takes a lot of skill do all those processes without hamming it up at some stage, good work.

I appreciate the 2001 a.space odyssey music in the background makes this 10x more epic

Now that's craftsmanship!! Great work!!

picasso has nothing on you;you are the best kind of artist

If you would like to buy patterns from me to make your own leather wallets please visit my shop here www.etsy.com/shop/LeodisLeather?section_id=15216140

many people are not used to the quality of hand made product , they feel if they purchase something for 20 bucks that was made in a china sweat shop they made a good deal and if it lasts a couple years before it falls apart they just spend the 25 dollars and purchase the same on so out of 20 year spent 200 or more dollars on wallets instead of one that would last them a life time , this is the mentality of most it a throw away world . up till a couple years ago i still had my grandfathers wallet that was made for him by a leather crafter ,this was made back in 1961 and after I came in to possession of it threw my time I had to re-lace it twice any good hand made leather wallet is worth 100 to 200 bucks compared to that you purchase in wall mart or K-Mart ,, your wallet what you have invested easy 125.00 or better and I am not insulting you one bit , nice wallet ,

Excellent work. Lots of little skills all adding up to a piece of art. Good Job!

Enjoyable to watch as always. When my enthusiasm wavers with some of my leatherwork your videos help, its good to see how others craft their goods, pinching a couple of observed techniques also hehe. Great work!

I love your work you are teaching me a new skill I never made a man Wallet always made handbags. Thank you for sharing.

This is oddly relaxing to watch.

that was incredible. it must have taken days. I only just started today and it took me about 5 hours just learning to do basic pattern cutting, stamping and use of dye... and that was just a little precut drink coaster! more than anything, I want to thank you. I definitely picks up on a few things watching this.

Absolutely gorgeous. Worth every penny.

Thanks for sharing this wonderful how-to/tutorial. It's obvious that no everyone can afford such a high quality wallet, but the prices seem quite reasonable based on the work involved.

You make it look so easy. I hope you business grows and you are able to teach someone else this art and talent you have. I wish you the best.

Really Good Presentation on wallet making.

The poor mans folding machine XD Good peace of work. Thank you far sharing. With your help finishing my first bag

Take the music of people would love to hear just the sounds of you making this! love it though

For a second I thought I was watching a demonstration of the most patient man in the world, especially when he started all that leather sewing

Now that's craftsmanship!!! Great work!

Wow, superb craftsmanship. Well done!

Another amazing piece of craftsmanship Ian. Well done. I know the massive effort it takes to do great quality and the patience that you need to exercise in order to not cut any corners that no-one will ever notice. Your work is really inspirational and extremely informative. And you designs are so clean and classic. Lovely work mate ;)

What a joy to watch you doing this. Thank you for sharing.

Superior craftsmanship. Splendid video. Bravo sir!

Hi Ian, I just wanted to say thank you for all the awesome content you have created. Very helpful information. Good work!

Very impressive and well worth whatever you charge for it!

o trabalho ja é chique , ainda mais com a musica Danúbio azul. Perfeita combinação

I am watchmaker. Actually i am machinist,but i work as automechanic. I bought watchmaker's lathe back when i didn't have enough money for real lathe. Then it got interesting. I started making "watches" around 5 years ago. Obviously they were really bad,usually not working or not keeping time well. But i practised. Now,altrough i make functioning watches that look ok,i don't sell them because i have same problem as you. I can't sell the watch for 100$ if my material is worth 100$. So i rarely make watches now. I make a few pieces a year,which are either gifted or going in my collection. I still live off servicing watches,but since smart watches became trend,i don't have that much customers. People either bring me cheap chinese quartz watches that are not worth fixing or they bring me smartwatches. You can know that i appriciate your work,and i would buy one of your wallets only if my country didn't have such fucked up shipping system. Even if they didn't keep the wallet on border,they would give me 20% tax on luxurious item and plus shipping tax. So if i ever come across the pond,you have a customer.

So it looks like I won't be making a leather wallet anytime soon. Great Work!

Man you are awesome! The product is so perfect that its not just a wallet,but also a piece of art! Really amazed and thanks for your sharing!

from one craftsman to another: great work

Really enjoy watching these being made. I can see you really put time and love into your pieces... Please don't think I am trying to detract from your skill, but one tiny change I would have made is the fold on the corner... I know it adds extra time, and a huge amount of faff... but the corners look so much better in my opinion if they are pleated rather than cut square. Please please don't take this as anything other than a comment. I love your folding machine too!

I'm a first time viewer to your channel and must say you do amazing work ,when I buy a wallet I always look at the quality that goes into making it im 44 and have owned only 4 wallets and from what ive seen so far I would not think twice about buying one of yours .

Your Poor Man's Folding Machine is brilliant
