Maker Shows Everyone How To Make Their Own Awesome Wallet</a>

<p>You know how content and product producers hate when the public
recreates what they do on their own? Like when somebody with the
copyright on a David Bowie <a moz-do-not-send="true"
href="http://www.techdirt.com/articles/20110906/03590315810/dont-try-to-create-illustrated-version-david-bowie-song-copyright-police-will-come-after-you.shtml">song</a>
went all nutso over a fan film? Or when the music industry took
a position <a moz-do-not-send="true"
href="http://www.techdirt.com/articles/20100223/0032548261.shtml">so
ridiculous</a> that it could be compared to the slogan "Home
Cooking Is Killing The Restaurant Industry"?<br>
<br>
Well, shockingly, it turns out not everyone that produces a
product has that mentality. Take, for instance, <a
moz-do-not-send="true"
href="http://artofmanliness.com/2012/11/30/how-to-make-a-wallet/"
target="_blank">Matthew Pisarcik & Sebastian Sandersius,
the founders of Bison Made, makers of some seriously well-made
wallets</a> (story sent in by Markiyan). </p>
<blockquote> <i>However, nothing is more frustrating than
purchasing something expensive with your hard-earned dollars
and having it fail on you. In this article, we want to address
a common problem for men: their wallets don't hold up. It's a
source of pride to build something that you can call your own.
</i></blockquote>
Too true, but one wouldn't expect that to result in a blog post by
makers of quality wallets to teach everyone how to make <i>their
own</i> quality wallets. The rest of the post is a rather
detailed, informative set of instructions on how to make a wallet
in the same manner that Bison Made makes them. It's essentially an
informative version of a patent, minus all the supposedly
progress-promoting restrictions. Perhaps you're asking why they
would do such a thing. They do not answer that question
explicitly, but I would suggest it's a simple matter of
confidence. Take the way the post ends.
<blockquote> <i>Bison Made uses these same basic principles when
producing quality leather carry goods. Instead of paper
patterns and hand cutting, we use high precision cutting dies
to create consistent leather components that are hand finished
and stitched. We have taken a position that by starting with
high-quality raw materials and detailed precision, beautiful
and functional works that are designed for life will follow.</i></blockquote>
In other words: here's how to make what we make, and it's real,
but we are really, <i>really</i> good at it. Also we have the
materials, machinery, and know-how. So here's our designs. Here's
what we do. Feel free to make it if you like. But if this
explanation of what we do helps you appreciate all the work that
has gone into our business, you could always spend a little money
with us to get the real thing.
