@TheFatBob Moved your post to leather sewing machines.

I can't remember all the details, but my brother had a shoe repair fellow make a pair of saddle bags for his motorcycle in about 1958. They used sole leather for the back. It extended up past the flap for the bag. That top portion was used to bolt the bag to the cycle. They got pretty fancy with black and white leather for the gussets, flap and straps. Decorated it with a number of spots as well. I believe this was the only set of bags he had made. Finally sold his last bike last year. He hadn't ridden it for several years due to hip surgery and the vagaries of old age and not enough exercise.

Evo160k hasn't been here since 2020, so you aren't going to get any response from them. I'm locking and archiving this thread in old/sold.

@bellabychasity Moved your post to leather sewing machines. This where most of the machine guys hang out.

@LisaSum You haven't been around for a while. See post above.

I tried a search for several of the words above but got nothing! Even using google with site specific parameters (site:leatherworker.net) didn't find anything. Seems kind of strange. I think I recall seeing your post but have no idea where it went!

@Techsew Ron Looks like a dude here needs your help.

You need to post prices. Also identify if you will ship, etc. Please read and comply with the marketplace rules. https://leatherworker.net/forum/forum/70-announcements/

Please add photos, more description. Please read the marketplace rules and conform. https://leatherworker.net/forum/forum/70-announcements/

Try leather tape for basting, also for stitching. https://www.wawak.com/Bag-Construction/Basting-Tape/super-strong-double-sided-vinylleather-basting-tape-clear/?sku=TPE15 Note different widths available. 1/8" to 1". They ship to Canada! Have ordered items from them time to time and have not had any problems with shipping. Pre-cleared customs.

Moved. Thanks for catching this Uwe.

This is a very old thread from 2011, your post adds nothing useful to its content. Please start a new thread in Leather Sewing Machines

You might like to cross post this in the leather sewing machines forum. That's where the machine guys hang out.

A book referred to in the post above - W C Double's 1960 book The Design and Construction of Handbags is available as a PDF from this location https://vdoc.pub/download/design-and-construction-of-handbags-2o03sd59jrbg for anyone who might be interested.

Anyone looking for this book can download it from https://vdoc.pub/download/design-and-construction-of-handbags-2o03sd59jrbg

LOL Better move to higher ground, that should reduce your headache!

Here you go for all the atmospheric pressure measurements you'll ever want! https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atmospheric_pressure Quoted from Wikipedia: The highest sea-level pressure on Earth occurs in Siberia, where the Siberian High often attains a sea-level pressure above 1050 mbar (105 kPa; 31 inHg), with record highs close to 1085 mbar (108.5 kPa; 32.0 inHg). The lowest measurable sea-level pressure is found at the centers of tropical cyclones and tornadoes, with a record low of 870 mbar (87 kPa; 26 inHg). https://www.engineeringtoolbox.com/air-altitude-pressure-d_462.html for altitude versus atmospheric pressure calculations and table. For conversions 1 psi = 6.8954 kPa. So the record high in Siberia of 108.5 kPa = 15.74 psia while the lowest 87 kPa = 12.62 psia Calgary AB atmospheric pressure runs around 88 kPa (12.77 psia). This is uncorrected to sea level, so not the same as you will see used by the weather office, but the same as used to calibrate airplane altimeters. Weather office currently shows 101 kPa here. I could tell you a story about an engineering firm doing tests for designing an electrostatic precipitator, but we are already way off topic.

or 14.6954 if you want a couple more decimal places.
