Firsts for me, 2 Dopp kits

Recommended Posts

Crazy Horse 4~5 ounce water buffalo and YKK #5 zippers. Patches are laser engraved and makers mark is from a Grey Ghost stamp.

I have been learning how to use the 1341 sewing machine, learning to sew zippers, etc. The machine is going a little fast, as seen in the stitching of the patches, for me at this time even with the servo set to the lowest, 500RPM. I have a HM-750SL with NPS on the way from Ryan Neel that should help as it can go down to 50RPM. Once I am more familiar I will ramp up the speed.

These are going on a series of flights to my stepsons in South Africa today. Hope they find them useful.

Very nice.  Neatly made, and that kind of leather will just look better and more rugged  the more it is handled, gets wet, has shampoo  spilled on it, etc. —  good choice.  I suppose I might suggest a thinner or more flexible leather for the tag? Or maybe shive the underside edges of the tags?    To me the thick tags  seem a bit mismatched and stand out sorta funny on the more flexible bag leather.  Or maybe that’s the effect you want.  Anyhow good work.
