Members Glendon Posted December 1, 2014 Members Report Posted December 1, 2014 That's a great small project. Thanks for offering it to everyone. My dope bag is getting a bit worn. I think I'll give this a go. Quote

Members Realm13 Posted December 24, 2014 Members Report Posted December 24, 2014 Thanks for posting this! Quick question, I've never use a closure like this and am worried about long term use. Does the leather become loose over time and come open easily or is that not really an issue? Quote
Members Waylon1977 Posted January 16, 2015 Members Report Posted January 16, 2015 whats the size of this or rather, what size paper should i use to print it out? Thanks so much for the great pattern! Quote
Members Carrieanna1172 Posted January 18, 2015 Members Report Posted January 18, 2015 Omg this is great ! I have been looking for a Dopp kit pattern like this! Great gifts for guys! Thank you! Quote
Members rlkey Posted January 18, 2015 Members Report Posted January 18, 2015 I wanted to share my take on this dopp kit pattern and wanted to say thanks again to Tom for the pattern help. Get well soon Tom, can't wait to see what else can be created this new year. Quote
Northmount Posted January 18, 2015 Report Posted January 18, 2015 whats the size of this or rather, what size paper should i use to print it out? Thanks so much for the great pattern! See post #1. You will have to use the tile function in Adobe pdf printing for your typical home printer, or take to a printing or copy service that prints in large formats. Tom Quote

Members MorningStarL Posted February 4, 2015 Members Report Posted February 4, 2015 I've never done anything like this. Hoping the only dumb question is the one I don't ask: what weight of leather would I use for this? Quote
Members ekim89 Posted February 4, 2015 Members Report Posted February 4, 2015 (edited) @MorningStarL I was literally just getting ready to type the same question! +1 for a weight recommendation. Thank you for posting the pattern @tboyce! Edited February 4, 2015 by ekim89 Quote
Members Realm13 Posted February 4, 2015 Members Report Posted February 4, 2015 This being the February monthly pattern I'm sure y'all are not the only ones with this question. I know I was wondering the same thing when I started looking at making mine. Quote
Members MorningStarL Posted February 4, 2015 Members Report Posted February 4, 2015 Oh, good, it's not just me. Thanks to everyone for the pattern and advice and starting the challenge. Quote

Thank you for posting the pattern @tboyce! This being the February monthly pattern I'm sure y'all are not the only ones with this question. I know I was wondering the same thing when I started looking at making mine. Oh, good, it's not just me. Thanks to everyone for the pattern and advice and starting the challenge. The Dopp Kits I make are just like the pattern posted except I used a buckle closure system and I use 6/7oz vegtan leather for mine. Over the years I have used a heavier leather, I have also used a lighter leather. The weight leather you use is really up to your liking. There is no right or wrong here, just the makers personal preference IMO. Good Luck on the challenge! Karina Edited February 4, 2015 by veedub3 Quote
Members thefanninator Posted February 4, 2015 Members Report Posted February 4, 2015 (edited) I'm using the same leather I used for January's vertical wallet pattern, 2-2.5 oz calfskin. If you're planning on tooling 6-8oz would probably be fine. Edited February 4, 2015 by thefanninator Quote
Members ekim89 Posted February 5, 2015 Members Report Posted February 5, 2015 (edited) Thank you all for the advice! Edited February 5, 2015 by ekim89 Quote
Members Carrieanna1172 Posted February 5, 2015 Members Report Posted February 5, 2015 (edited) Rlkey Very nice ! Nice color choice Edited February 5, 2015 by Carrieanna1172 Quote
Members istaunton Posted February 13, 2015 Members Report Posted February 13, 2015 Thanks Tom. Serious amount of good will your way with all these patterns. Made the drop kit and really happy with it. Next time around I might cut the sides attached to the body. Will make assembly a bit easir but might not look as nice. Quote
