esantoro Posted November 28, 2008 Report Posted November 28, 2008 Here's a new bag I'm working on: The Walden Ambassador. This bag gives the user the option of attaching the shoulder strap to either the gusset dees or the top flap dees. I really like the four internal pockets on the middle panel. Ed Quote

Your work is up there 110%............. I used 600 grain sandpaper on the edges. Slicked with a wood slicker and did two coats of LCI/Weaver Edge Paint. I'm happy having Ivans slicker and motor, but I think I still lean toward the exotic wood slicker. I'd like to make a wood slicker that will fit the 1/8 hp motor. ed Quote

Ambassador Beaverslayer Posted December 2, 2008 Ambassador Report Posted December 2, 2008 Ed, this is by far the best I've seen, great looking bag. Ken Quote
MADMAX22 Posted December 3, 2008 Report Posted December 3, 2008 This one is latigo. Thanks for the responce, one more ? for ya. What type of finish do you do on it? Since it is latigo do you jsut give it a coat of oil and call it good or do you try to seal it with something. The leather you used looks really good. Quote

I used two applications of bag kote and then an application of Aussie wax. ed Quote
MADMAX22 Posted December 3, 2008 Report Posted December 3, 2008 Thanks for the info. Sounds like that would hold up for some time. I try to absorb all this info so if and when I ever get around to trying out my own bag or purse in a similer style Ill have some starting points. Ive got a purse cut out from vegtan just gotta get started on it but I would like to make a laptop case for a friend and would probably go with latigo. However I think that one will wait till I get a sewing machine Quote
