Wet formed bag tutorial

[MagiKelly]

...may I ask how thick was your mold ?

The wooden mould is about 2 inches or 50mm thick. The volume of the bag is about 6 x 7 x 2 inches all in.

Hope this helps.

Great tutorial! I'm planning on trying this molding technique for a sporran. I was thinking, instead of glueing your mold to the backing board could you screw it to the backing board from the backside of the backing board, that way you could move it to another spot on the board or to a new backing board altogther?

Thanks again!

Screwing it on from the back fine. It is what I would have done if I had been really thinking ahead.

Thanks for the comments. Having picked up lots of tips from here it is good to be able to try and give a little back.

You did this tutorial so well, even I could understand it :-) And I truly laughed out loud over your patented tool you use for cutting the round part. I also appreciate you giving alternatives to different tools for those of us trying to get things a little at a time before we end up in the poor house with all the leather workers that have passed before us
