Thanks toxo! Them are great looking bags. Them are like the pattern I found I like. 

Thanks for the pics. I got a good understanding how you made your dies.

Yeah if stitch holes are added to the die, I found it adds another $60-$80 per die to add the stitch prongs. 

Two important things to remember, rule steel comes in two different heights and also different thicknesses. This is measured in points. 2 point is what you want unless you have really good bending machinery. 3 point is much harder to bend.

Ok I look & do some more research. Thanks.

What price time and evenness (consistent spacing) ? on a few its not worth it but on a few dozen (even done over time) it is

I think this would be a great platform to build a hydrualic clicker press from. I can easily make & install a pressing pad/foot.

Plus I can easily add a electric over hydrualic power pack to it with foot controls. 

If I decide to go this route, would there be any interest in a build thread on it? 

 

 

 

Would very much be interested in a build thread!!!
