Hello al, my latest project. A croc printer bag for my wife. Greetings from Belgium

Very nice executed, nice stitching, edge work, .... Maybe a crease on the outside to be more consistent, just my 2 cents. Greetings

Thx for all the reply's and kind words. Some of the comments are justified, but I have to say we had to follow a particular pattern. The one handle does the trick, no issues here. The fastening is another case, first of all the belt is 1.5 cm (3/4 inch) to long to be effective. As you lift the bag it opens a bit by itself. I am going to shorten it a bit and see if the locks hold. I also think the magnetic lock isn't strong enough a push button would be better but hard to close. I did discuss this with the teacher 2 weeks ago. He told me he wasn't behind this design but a co-teacher of him wanted it in the course. I am not for or against it, I just want fool proof bag designs, and this isn't one of them. For me it just was a good exercise to practice some techniques but the end product is useless in the designed state. As mentioned before I rework the closing mechanism to a working state. I keep you all updated. The course is only 1 evening every week so everything goes slow maybe I rework it at home. Greetings B

Nice work, the problem is now you opened the box of Pandora. You will try other projects and before you know it your house is full of leather. Good job B

I like it the way it is, nice leather, nice stitches. If I had to change something I would skive the edges, it will look less bulky. But that's personal. Great work. B

Anyone knows where to buy these or something similar ? I like clean/simple/slim, not bulky or fancy. Preferably Europe to avoid custom but all hints are welcom. I need to make 5 old school bike bags for oldtimer bicycles. The photos are just to show the lock, I didn't make the bag Any help is highly appreciated. B

I am a second year leather working student. I am no leather expert. The leather is unknown, I don't think it's the best quality.I bought it to practice, its cheap, It looks good but it's prone to scars. I don't care about the scars doh. I gives what they call cachet in French. It also learned me to watch out for scars. The lining is Grey pigskin Greetings from Belgium

Finished my doctor's bag. I like critics, good or bad as long as it is constructive. Greetings B

Next school project a domino bag. Some second or third class leather to practice. Greetings B

Thx, our next project is a small briefcase. I follow leather classes for 3 months now (1 time a week 4h). I make a new post with the result. Btw the numbers on the bottom are for traceability. They were put there when they skinned the cow. Bert

Nice work.

Not a fan of the camo either but the wallet is marvelous. Nicely executed. what is/are Funori seaweed and how do you use/apply it. Bert

thx for the kind words, the leather is fourth choice, you see some dork points here and there-> beter picture below. i also attached a close up where the zipper exists the inside off the bag.
