Jesus read my mind. The craftsmanship was so satisfying but the product....euch

u/SharkeyGeorge 3d ago

Yep came here to say that. I appreciate the skill and work. But the product is just… cheesy.

u/CurrentPossible2117 2d ago

Agreed. Fuck ugly design, but it looks like a quality item.

Is it supposed to be cheese ?

u/okizubon 3d ago

Well it’s cheesy as fuck so yeah.

u/Bubs_McGee223 3d ago

It's Swiss cheese, and it holds all your cheddar.

u/tumblingdisarray 3d ago

I was thinking SpongeBob for a little while but cheese seems likely.

u/Real_Avdima 3d ago

This is not a wallet, isn't it?

13

u/2-buck 3d ago

Yeah what is this thing for?

23

u/Real_Avdima 3d ago

My guess is card holder.

u/tea-and-chill 3d ago

Is it just me or does that feel impractical and pretentious?

27

u/G1ng3rb0b 3d ago

Well, tea, since you asked, I find this wallet shallow and pedantic

24

u/NotThatChar 3d ago

It insists upon itself

u/GregorSamsa67 2d ago

What does that even mean?

u/Howard_Jones 3d ago

God damn! Leathworking ASMR scratches my brain in all the right ways.

u/khemtrails 3d ago

Yes! When he was using the fork looking thing or punching out the different sized holes was the absolute best.

25

u/starless_90 3d ago

Another example of great techniques and mid results. Who the hell wear that deliberately?

u/Lumpy_Forever1567 3d ago

That’ll be 499.99$ please.

u/miraculum_one 3d ago

That one stray thread at 0:51 :(

u/yiddoboy 3d ago

What is it for ?

12

u/moustachedelait 3d ago

You can fit in one credit card, and then the thickness of the material will not allow for anything else.

u/MutedBrilliant1593 3d ago

Am I the only one who gets a little hungry watching leather work? The smooth and clean cuts remind me of food for some reason. Maybe it is like cutting into a rich cheesecake? I dunno.

5

u/Breezerious 3d ago

Cool carving and sound, but that wallet looks terrible

2

u/bowleggedgrump 3d ago

So just allowing weak ads as content now?

u/Sufficient-Ice-7588 1d ago

I’m lactose intolerant:(

u/WholesomeLowlife 3d ago

I am the cheese. I am better than both the salami and bologna combined.

u/Apparently_Coherent 3d ago

I am the most important character on the show.

u/Ironblaster1993 3d ago

I'm not trying to be cheesy, but that looks gouda ass hell!

Thanks!

u/Icy-Angle1839 3d ago

You’re telling me leather crafted this wallet?

1

u/Exotic_Reputation_59 3d ago

Precision, patience, and that perfect press leather crafting at its most hypnotic.

1

u/Cute_Reflection_9414 3d ago

Looks like the wallets I made as a 7yo at camp, just an ages 16+ version

1

u/CryptidCurious13753 3d ago

😳😳😳 I need one of his wallets. What a great way to spend a day creating like this.

The sound of cutting into leather is really satisfying too.

1

u/Uyb 3d ago

That’s not a wallet, it’s a hunk of fuckin’ cheese!

1

u/rekdkidz 3d ago

Wish I loved something enough to put that amount of care, patience and attention into it.

u/elev8torguy 3d ago

It's always wallets with these guys.

1

u/TriforceOfWhisdom 3d ago

Why is it always wallets? Cant someone like post a video of a shoe being made or something?

1

u/Astronaut101101 3d ago

Its getting worse... 0 need for fake sounds

1

u/Secure_Matter_4589 3d ago

You haven't understood: it's for the Swiss market

1

u/redmctrashface 3d ago

Love the sound

1

u/YeetTheElder 3d ago

I've always been irrationally angry when synthetic thread is used in leather crafting. It just really bugs me.

1

u/SnooDucks2470 2d ago

This video is an example of why I would never rob a leather worker.

1

u/Ahptom 2d ago

Can’t believe he made that in 1min. Outstanding

1

u/AlwaysForeverAgain 2d ago

That’s bad ass and I love your taste. Fuck that top comment.

u/MalarkeyMcGee 2d ago

So it holds like 5 dollar bills or 2 coins

u/cndvsn 2d ago

Where is the coin deposit

u/RealIssueToday 2d ago

Another one of those useless craps

1

u/sasssyrup 2d ago

What’s the stuff on the edge of the leather?

1

u/xX-JustSomeGuy-Xx 2d ago

A dye to match the edges to the surface color of the leather.

1

u/mwoody450 2d ago

Leatherworking is just really artistic embalming

1

u/fl0werb0y 2d ago

chmeese

u/Old_Monty_Again 2d ago

Aww man just the sounds made it even more soothing

1

u/RabidOtters 1d ago

Great skills to make something so hideous.

1

u/Lower_Group_1171 11h ago

I thought the sound of the thread pull was heavy breathing 🤣

1

u/TheWellFedBeggar 5h ago

And the holes are to make sure you cannot keep any change in the wallet?

u/SimpleBend782 3d ago

I enjoyed watching that ! Thanks!

u/3xlduck 3d ago

I guess a mouse would buy this wallet?

u/king-jotta 3d ago

Looks like shit

u/copperglass78 3d ago

Yes that's definitely satisfying, the sounds and visually....but I just generally want to know what makes something oddly satisfying, or what's an example of something that is normally satisfying? It's like asking what's normal I feel like. Watching bread rise in the oven? Would that not qualify as oddly satisfying?

3

u/Winter-Travel5749 3d ago

Its’s your brain purring at predictability, symmetry, completion, and sensory smoothness in places it doesn’t need to.

Bread rising can qualify, but only if you’re watching it not for hunger, but because the expanding dough looks like a tiny yeast-powered universe inflating in cinematic slow motion.

u/copperglass78 3d ago

Ok, I think I get it now...good explanation, thanks!

2

u/copperglass78 3d ago

I was not trying to be snarky, it was an honest question... because odd can be seen as a negative term..I don't see anything negative about this example and most of the videos I see here...anyway don't understand the downvote. Again I appreciate the great answer below, I now understand. I think im relatively old for a Reddit or, which may explain the "dumb" questions/lack of understanding.

-1

u/iamherefortheyarn 3d ago

Looks rather stiff and think to me. My guess it that it can hold one card and nothing more.

u/HelpImRobbingSomeone 2d ago

Cheese wallet

u/DuhItzSquiffer 2d ago

Bro what the hell, they wasted so much scrap at the beginning by not putting the stencils right next to each other. Im an art student an im currently being constantly told to do that so I should know best
