A very useful tutorial, thank you. I'd be grateful to know where you get your buckles. Ray

Certainly my first batches of buckles came from Leprevo and I suspect these are the ones in the photos. I may have bought some from AbbeySaddlery but can't be sure and don't have my receipts to hand.

So the short answer in Leprevo

Good tutorial! I'll just jump in and confirm that these are Le Prevo buckles (0508-20 3/4" brass full roller buckle - £4.73 per 10). They're the same ones that I use on my pouches!

I have made a flexible plastic template that has the rounding and the start of the straight edge along the front. I use this to mark the first side, then extend the line across the front so I can use it to position the template on the other side to line it up properly.

As to the radius of the rounding this is not critical. The top flap will conform to pretty much whatever radius you cut. I know many bag makers just cut a straight edge but the compulsive in me just keeps thinking that the gap you will get lets stuff fall out.

Hope this helps.

That simple ?!?!

Thanks for the swift reply.

Lokal leathershop is closed cause of a removal to a brand new and bigger location.

As such I 'm running out of material but as soon as they reopen ( last of this month ) I will try to make a little bag for my camera.

Already making the wooden inside .
