The millennium bag

[dikman]

"Built like a tank" comes to mind. Beautiful job indeed. It may have been intended as a possibles bag but it's far too good for dragging through the woods. Plus a possibles bag would be easier to use with a softer floppy flap cover.

Just awesome & beautiful work. May I ask how you got your side corners of the bag, formed at 90°?  Thanks.

Thanks. The side panels are, a) back piece, b) 1/16" acrylic board, c) front piece.  I wet formed the back piece that has the gusset part.

yeah haha.  And you're right, it's more of a "mantle hanger" presentation piece.  If I make another one I'm gonna try to make it it little more practical size wise.  I was loosely basing the whole thing on an American Civil War troop kit
