2 Things - Rope Bag And Rope Can

[leathercrafter]

I have never been able to inspect either of these items up close, but want to learn to make a rope bag (for headers and healers) and rope cans. I know that rope cans typically use the plastic rope cans you can buy, but then how much of them end up covered with tooled leather? Just the sides? any of the insides? Then the larger challenge, a rope bag with two sides, one for heading ropes and one for healing ropes. There are no patterns I can find for these, and I have only been able to inspect a few, not enough to go home and make one. Can anyone share a pattern and instructions on how to make one? Any information would be so grateful. I haven't been able to find much information about these items in books, and haven't seen many in my neck of the woods (Western Oregon), so I don't get much of a chance to study them up close and personal, but REALLY want to make them one of my next projects.

thank you all
