Andy,
First, congrats on the baby. Awesome times to come. My son and I do leather together sometimes and he's only 3.
Second, Great looking bag. I love when others make bags cause I totally love bags. This one is awesome and all i can say is that since I'm a fan of tooling You could have done some tooling on the lid. Other than that this bag is bad ass. Props on the hand stitching. I do all hand stitching and know the pains.
