Always a fan of your video's, every vid I pickup a tip. On this vid I picked up a tip about the beeswax on the edges, must try that on my next project.

As Matt asked, what type of leather are you using? and can it be tooled / logo stamped ?

Warm regards,

Mark Skiba

What kind of leather are you using? It appears that the back side is finished as well?

Matt, I'm using dyed through shoulder, case leather in some stores.

Ski I haven't tried tooling it but it takes a stamp well.

Superb video again

The time and effort you take to help anonymous leatherworkers is much appreciated

You might consider assembling your videos and making some DVD's for sale

Thanks so much

Thank you, I think I need to get a decent camera and sound set up first so I can produce high quality footage.

Plus maybe a decent actor... ;-)

Nige,

Just wanted to thank you for the detailed and even to my amateurish eyes, straight forward and professional plans that compliment the video.

Hi Nigel,

Thanks for sharing this great tutorial!

I'm interested in starting on my own project as well, but I need to know how many bags I can make from a side.

I'm making a 15"(W) by 11"(H) by 5"(D) bag, I estimate that I'll need about 7.15 sq ft. of leather. The following piece of hide looks GOOD, about 25 sq ft.

If I manage to find someone skilled or maybe even you!, can I assume I can make 3 bags out of this 25 sq ft piece of hide?

I'm estimating as this piece is costly and I want to know how many bags I can make before I commit...

Thanks!

More Dogs... Collars! Understood.

Can you talk about the process of sewing a double gusset bag? I am interested in creating a two compartment messenger bag and I am sort of at a loss on how to approach the double gusset.

Multiple gussets, a bit much to explain here, I think another video would help, but if your in a hurry, drop me an email and I'll explain.
