Leather Buttons Advice For Bushcraft Bag!
narrowsuch replied to narrowsuch's topic in How Do I Do That?
Great looking idea, I have played around trying to make one and Ill give it a few more attempts and try it on the project, Ill let you know how it goes! Ill post some pics once I get the design finalised! Thanks, Nathan Thanks bunnymade, I think I will consider this an option...have you ever tried using this method on any of your projects? If so how long has it stayed stromg!??? Cheers, Nathan -
Hi HS, Looks really nice, I must admit I like making them too, takes me a little longer 1-2 hours I would say to make one! I like the idea if moulding the case with the shape of the phone makes it look more uniform, might give that a try on some of the larger phones I get asked to make... That stubby holder is awesome, very nice workmanship there! I am going to be buying some basketweave/rope type tools soon to have a play with, it does look awesome but i bet you have to really take your time and be carefull with the stamping?? Cheers, Nathan

Leather Buttons Advice For Bushcraft Bag!
narrowsuch replied to narrowsuch's topic in How Do I Do That?
Thanks Tree Reaper! The antler buttons look natural, ill get some and see wat they are like on the bag! Hi toolingaround, This is anothr great option i can definately see working with the bag. I think I may have no choice but to use some hardware for the straps unless I just simply sew them onto the bag permanently ... Shoes look good! -
Galaxy Note 2 Case

Looks nice, i like the strap and leather buckle look! I know wat you mean, i did a case for a freind for a htc sensation, HUgE phone case was a lot bigger than i expected ! -
Hi Guys, Hope we are all well! Just thinking about a bushcraft bag and how to make leather buttons to join the pockets and possibly the straps aswell.... Im having difficulty finding a way without buckles or any other sort of man made attachement to close pockets and secure the main flap for the rucksack type bag... I was thinking of making some leather buttons for all but from anyones experience will these suffice and hold???? Also I was thinking of using stoned oil hide for a distressed/well used look, will I still have to finish this to give it more waterproofing? Any help advice or otherwise would be greatly appreciated, Thanks, Nathan

Cheers mike ! Adam really useful pointers, things to think about and apply when finishing my leather projects! If I took better pictures the cases are cut by hand so are not quite straight/square, I have struggled cutting round corners but basically cut straight lines around the edge and sand/burnish... Cleckheaton is still awesome, I love it here !
