Tobacco Pouch

[WalterF]

Wanted a tobacco pouch, the catch was finding the proper liner to keep the moisture in and maintain flavor. Had to hand sew due to the one piece design. The zipper wasn't possible to seperate causing the issue, plus working on a way to hold it together while using the pricking irons my line wobble. Will try it out and think of ways to improve the process.

Nice tooling, what did you decide to use for the liner?

Nice. Got it done, looks pretty good.

Having lined pouches for blackpowder and shot I feel your pain keeping things all together and lined up. 

Not sure what you used for lining here?

I ended up using waxed cotton canvas to keep things moving freely and mostly waterproof, although the bison was fairly water resistant anyway. Nothing, I mean NOTHING sticks well to waxes. I used heat and tried to clean the wax off the edges, and that didn't really help. But I didn't need to punch stitch holes through the canvas. I figured that out after an hour or effing around trying to get things lined up so I could punch everything. The needles go right through haha.  So in the end it wasn't too bad, but it was difficult none the less. Ensuring there's at least a folded edge so the stitches don't pull through, while keeping it all nice and flat against the leather (glues and cements don't work) was really frustrating and I think I went through double the material before I got it right. Any kind of pouch with loose lining is a nightmare to make imo

Thank you, a food grade silicone.

Thhank you, it can be frustrating.  It is a food grade silicone, if I use a split zipper it may help. The challenge of something new keeps it interesting.

Thanks for posting this. It looks very nice. Also, this is the first tobacco related project that I have been able to find on leatherworker.net. With all the leather products that I have seen on etsy I would have thought that more tobacco related products would be found here.

I enjoy my pipe and cigars, so I make things useful to me. Just finished some more. The pipe tools are redone with Moose antler and the pipe rest/tool. I enjoy working with leather doesn't matter what. Love trying new things.

Been making baccy pouches for years. Mostly just keep them simple but put a bit extra in occasionally.

I've made a few simple baccy pouches. I used material called 'rip stop'. Its sort of a nylon fabric, very thin, available in many colours. I glued it to the leather than sewed the pouch up
