MADMAX22 Report post Posted June 1, 2009 (edited) Well finally got this one done and managed to screw it up at the last moment lol. Anyways it is about 5/6oz with a design tooled into it. Wanted to try a belt bag type thing and see what I could come up with. Color is tan with antique then atom wax and sno seal. Lined it with about 3/4oz suede so the edges arent mirrored. Entire thing is hand stitched. Used thicker stuff on the straps along with copper rivets. When I was dying the edges I slipped with the thing I used and some dye dripped on the bottom edge. Didnt get it all off in time before it set in so ended up with that stain. Really annoying, allmost last step and that happens. Ahh well.

rdb Report post Posted June 1, 2009 Don't worry about the bottom, that's such a good field bag, it'll have stuff all over it from good use, in no time. Nice job. I always liked that kind of bag closure...guess it's the simplicity.. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

RVM45 Report post Posted June 1, 2009 Neat little Pouch. Sorry to ask a dumb question; but what does this sentence mean: "Lined it with about 3/4oz suede so the edges arent mirrored. "? What would it mean if the edges Were Mirrored? Haven't encountered that term in leather working. .....RVM45 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MADMAX22 Report post Posted June 1, 2009 Sorry guess I should say burnished. I just roughed out the edges. I still burnished them just not to that nice shiny smooth surface. Guess I could of used the proper words for it lol. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

MADMAX22 Report post Posted June 1, 2009 Thanks guys, and Tom I wanted to keep it rather simple style and found some beads at a store so figured why not. The only problem I see with it is that while very easy to do and undo when your bare handed I think once you put some gloves on it may be a pain in the butt. Atleast till it gets broken in a bit then it may be easier. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
