Thanks everyone for your compliments .
Great videos and great products. You've convinced me to start dying my chrome tanned edges. I was trying to decide if it was something people normally did.
Hi Monica ,
Why did you think you shouldn't dye the edges ?
Thanks,
Olivier

Very zen-like... something I struggle with. My work-space is chaos.Don't worry Grumpy , mine is a mess most of the time too . Especially when i'm having ( actually try to ) a new design on my mind .
It took me a whole day to clean it up before the shootings began .
Thanks,
Olivier

Hi Tannin ,
No , it only looks like but it's a simple soft plastic board . I bought it in a shop selling professional cooking items .
Don't worry you're not the first one that asks .
Thanks,

Me at work .

And the make-of the No.376 in the Companion Line
I enjoyed myself quite a lot during these two days of filming .
Hope you'll like it .

Thanks Monica .
Yes it's an extra layer at the bottom for keeping the groceries laying at the bottom of the bag intact . Also , it gives more stability when you'll lay it on the ground .
I've chosen to close the bag with a magnet for easier acces to it . And because the straps are keeping it closed when holded , it's still safe from any attempt to steal
the content .
Thanks ,
Olivier

Yes i know .
Actually they are burnished but not finished .
A client asked me to make one in Tan . When it'll be done i'll post some pictures with those edges well finished as it should .
Thanks Tom ,

Thanks all for your comments .
Yes , i should have burnished the edges as it would have looked better .
And thanks Jonathan for the idea of wetting the edges of the gussets . I'll definitely try it next time .
Thanks ,

Thanks Narvi for your reply .
It's funny because when i wrote this question in June i actually glued the Lin Cable in order to secure it but i thought that there should be something
better to do or , let's put it this way , something more secure .
So now i know i did it right without knowing .
Thanks a lot ,
Olivier

Lin Cable is unwaxed but even when waxed , when i want to burn the end bits they're actually burning instead of melting as with the
threads i used .
So my question is - is there a certain method of doing it or is it supposed not be burned , but finished differently ?
Thanks in advance for the replies ,
Olivier

Well , it does take dye BUT i prefer to dye them using either acrylic dyes or the new fiebing Dura edge .
If i use acrylic then i have to apply a different finishing process to smooth it and to protect it from rain .
The Dura is less demanding and offers a better result but it hasn't a lot of colors to choose from .
Overall , to burnish them i use these french heat burnishers instead of my cocobolo dremel burnishers : http://www.vergez-blanchard.fr/boutique/fiche_produit.cfm?ref=3_995_G&type=40&code_lg=lg_fr&num=2
Somehow it gives me a better result .
