So a friend of mine got his bag stolen so I told him I'd make him one.  This is my first attempt at a bag, I'll admit I hadn't thought about how to handle the corners.  I have a lovely maul that I forgot at work so I did all the hole pricking with a crappy rubber hammer, hence the junk job with the stitching.  Hey, at least it's solid!  I know I didn't do the leather justice, but I had fun with it.  Oh, and I kinda feel like a jerk for making theblacing and edging green, since my friend is red/green colorblind.  >;)

My hat is off for the situational awareness.

And you had fun, most important part.

Bag looks cool.

Well keep going Grey...you were on a roll,.  Didn't dress the edges, got that big goofy number thing on the front.   Btw, that leather sure looks familiar.   At least you've done something with yours.  I just keep moving my pile around.  Yeah, I like your shabby chic bag...with the goofy number thing on the front.  ;-)

I do rather like how the green goes with the orange tone of the leather, myself. ;)  I learned something in any case, which is always a good thing.

Haha yep, NorthStar Leather with his "scraps" which are big enough to make bags out of!  And yeah, ::cough:: I need to use a fair bit more of it up, I'm literally tripping over the stuff.  I need a house just so I have room for my leather!  And hey, the guy the bag is going to is a luddite kinda guy that likes stuff not worked to within an inch of its life, so the rough/odd shape works for him.
