Members MonicaJacobson Posted February 9, 2017 Members Report Posted February 9, 2017 This one looks really nice, James. I remember the first one you did, and this one looks like what it was trying to be. Quote http://monicajacobson.com/ https://www.etsy.com/shop/TrimGoTrix?ref=si_shop
Members JamesR Posted February 9, 2017 Author Members Report Posted February 9, 2017 Monica, Thank you. I like the way you put that. I'm always trying to improve on what I've done before. Sometimes it actually works out. Quote

Members Grey Drakkon Posted February 10, 2017 Members Report Posted February 10, 2017 That looks incredibly durable! I think something that may help with sleeking it down a little is to use slightly thinner hardwear. If the metal is welded, there should be no way it's just going to pop apart, and if tempered correctly it's not going to just bend unless you're hauling gold bars in the bag, and even then I think the leather would give out first. It would be awesome if you could find some that were flattened instead of rounded wire, but that might be something you'd have to custom make. One last quibble, it bothers me a bit that there's a hard black shape in the center of the bag with no black elsewhere. If the hardware was black also, it would let the eye wander around the bag a bit more instead of focusing on that one harsh spot. Having said all that, it looks super nice, and I love how you handled the gussets. The one bag I've made so far did NOT look as good as yours by half.
