Members SandSquid Posted August 8, 2012 Members Report Posted August 8, 2012 My wife'sboss was lamenting that he needed something tough and protective but"simple" to carry his iPad around the job site. He's the Site SafetySupervisor on the construction site of a large factory being built here in Memphis.. He needs tohave his iPad with him at all times to be able to access email, data, forms andtake pictures... She jokingly said that I could probably make him a "Man Bag" like theone I carry around and he jumped on the idea and we got to designing, and thisis what I've come up with so far… the material cut out: the tooling of the front face: Stitching together the fron and back to the gusset: Tooling the flap: Painted and a coat of resolene: The Shoulder strap attachment: The Shoulder strap: Off to Tandy to go buy some Bridle Buckels so this can be delivered tomorrow, and I can get paid friday!

Ambassador Luke Hatley Posted August 8, 2012 Ambassador Report Posted August 8, 2012 you did very well on the Bag..Makes me Proud that you have accomplished something this useful and many more to be made. Quote
Members SandSquid Posted August 8, 2012 Author Members Report Posted August 8, 2012 Off to Tandy to go buy some Bridle Buckels so this can be delivered tomorrow, and I can get paid friday! Picked up the buckles and finally broke down and purchased my first bag punch to cut the slots for the prong hole in the strap. It is much easier and cleaner than punching two holes and cutting out the leaethr in between them, which is what I had been doing. A little bit more sewing and this baby is ready to roll on out of here! Quote
