Leather Selection Suggestions
In this video we used 3/4oz natural vegetable tanned leather sourced from LeatherPlan.com. This design is best suited for leathers with thickness in the 2 to 4oz range. Leathers with a softer feel will allow the Passport Case to close easier without breaking in. For a really polished look I would suggest making this out of a finished vegetable tanned leather like a Horween Dublin or Buttero.

I was starting to go in to Makesupply withdrawal. Maybe there is a transdermal patch for this!?
Thank goodness you took the time and effort to create another great tutorial! I really like the design of this passport case. I will be creating one soon. I am agine that you have been super busy in your new shop. I hope things are going well for you. I noticed that you had the pencil holder that I created for you in the video shot. Glad you are getting some use out of it! Anyway, I thought I would drop you a note expressing my appreciation for this video, and all of your videos! Keep up the good work, and I look forward to your next creation. Thanks again, Justin.
Thanks Ron! And yes I use that pencil holder to hold any of my tools that will fit in it while working on projects. Its a great addition!
