Howdy folks. Just finished this baby and want to share with you. Do you see E.Tan anywhere in the tooling

The whole piece is very nice, I lke how pretty the handle is. Really stands out. Any time you want to pick it up you will be happy looking at the intricate lace. Sweet dude.

That is to nice to be played on

TBD, but I'm thinking 50ish.

I had similar experience a year or two ago. But you sure did put much more attention to the detail in your research. Thanks for sharing.

I know man. The very first bag of the three was all double lop. I had to go and get my eyes puled apart and not even talking of my fingers.

The ideal will be to have the whole thing made. But I know that is pushing the envelop there. I have been looking on my leather work more as an art form and one of a kind. So it happend that lady is pressitant on producing the bag and I start thinking of it a s "why not", right I'm in the clothing manufacturing and have been outsourcing garment sewing and construction for many years. No questions there, but as for the leather goods, I just do not have many (any) contacts . The process should be similar but the way I constructed the bag (molded sides, glued pig suede lining, fading color, and the holes....) I punched the holes after I glued the sides to the main body. Not sure how a perfect match can be achieved with clicking the parts out, couse of the curves, and the molding. But my theory is: It has been done once , so could be done many more times. What the price on that is, that what I'm trying to figure out ????

About 50 (+/-) yards that will be 150 feet right. And that after switching to single loop Bag is 19" x 9" x 10" closed Open each side is 19"x18" and there is some flaps inside that are laced also. I lace it up in 8 hours more or less. That is the thirth one I make like that and had ro reduse the lace for this one Here is the second one, the handle was crazy to make and attach at the same time: You can see the flaps with the lace. There is a belt that goes across and is laced like the handles. Also the sides are wet molded on each bag......I know it is not a easy task but ....

I know the lace is the key here, but once you get on it is goes easy ......................... I have to go to full time job and the few hours after work is the time I have, not even counting my 10 mounts old baby girl in the picture.

The good ole Craftool from Tandy. Nothing special in my tool collection

So here is the deal . I need to find some place that will be able to replicate the luggage bag on the picture. I have been asked to make more just like it. I'm not set up for big orders and will be great if I can find a place to do it all in one spot. Have been pointed to Mexico, but that will be my second choice, since the unknown territory. Do you think that is fusible idea? Any info will be great, Thank you. my e-mail is: milen(at sign)madtailorleather.com changed by Mod to foil email addy sniffers -- Art

Hi Tom. Funny thing about the set is that is made piece by piece with good 2-3 mounts between each. I keep bottle of the tan a side for him And the triwave - I love and hate it at the same time.................. For sure no Beer and Coffee before doing it.

You are one evil man . Got me all scared with that mask. Great man.

Second what David says.

Nice. 10x

Thank you Ian. I still have not seen the bike dressed up, but soon will have some pictures I hope.

That fellow has a whole set now. Seat, Tank bib and the roll.

Thanks. The tan/brown is The chestnut Highlite from Tandy

Hi lovely people. Just finished this Roll. Futures molded sides and is the first piece on my new Toro 4000 I got few days ago.

That is nice. Picture setting is very good also.

Cheers..... that is good idea, hope people jump on it.

Thank you very much J

Did not get the memo .....I go to NY twice a year for work, so guess what is in my bag on the way back

Talking of Koi. Here is a seat from a year ago:

That is nice Koi there brother. Here is one I made some time ago.
