Members WinterBear Posted March 12, 2015 Members Report Posted March 12, 2015 With a few adjustments, that small bag would be just the thing for a Boy Scout to haul his Scout book in.....Heck, it would be good for me to haul my Scout Book and my OA book in. Or my Kindle. Quote I used to be an Eagle, a good ol' Eagle too...
Members tboyce Posted March 13, 2015 Members Report Posted March 13, 2015 LOL I wonder how many of us got our start in this craft because we couldn't bear to use Naugahyde faux leather for our OA costumes. Quote

Members Wild Bill46 Posted March 13, 2015 Members Report Posted March 13, 2015 A HugeThanx TBoyce, for all the many things you do for all of us here at LWN, and a big thanx Opus56 for your generousity with both these bags. ---- Wild Bill46 Quote
Members opus56 Posted March 13, 2015 Author Members Report Posted March 13, 2015 Hey TBoyce, here's the template for the smaller bag. Some dimensions: Front flap = 6" x 4 1/4" Main body = 8" x 9" Overall length = 13 1/4" Strap is 1/2" wide - everyone can make it whatever length they want First slot measuring from the bottom of the bag starts at 3/8", then spaced 1" apart Quote
Members opus56 Posted March 15, 2015 Author Members Report Posted March 15, 2015 I made another one w/ a few modifications. I added a pen holder and a small pocket to the interior, tapered the front flap and a closure. Quote

Members jsoulcrow Posted June 26, 2015 Members Report Posted June 26, 2015 Are you glueing the sides or does the strap hold the whole thing together? I love how the two strap bits are sewed together! Looks great. Quote

Members dogguy Posted July 27, 2015 Members Report Posted July 27, 2015 Amazing what kind of cost is this in raw materials? Quote
Members opus56 Posted July 27, 2015 Author Members Report Posted July 27, 2015 Amazing what kind of cost is this in raw materials? The oil tanned leather I buy from a local dealer in Utah runs about $95 for a side that'll at least 2 bags of this size w/ some left over. Then the rivets are a few dollars (from Tandy) and the double prong roller buckle was $4 from Tandy. So probably all said and done w/ thread, glue, and needles, I'd say $60 total in raw materials.

Members Oldtoolsniper Posted July 29, 2015 Members Report Posted July 29, 2015 Thanks for posting that. I see the dewalt scrollsaw in the background, do you make cardboard furniture for proof of concept too? Quote

LOL...no, the shop I have was arranged for building guitars, but turns out it's a good work space for leather work too. Quote
