Members plinkercases Posted December 28, 2017 Members Report Posted December 28, 2017 My work pack finally lost it and I needed something quick (I carry 2 laptops..) so I took my first stab at a pack. Made from road side couch hide and tan harness leather with chap zippers it does the trick and was a real learning experience. not fussed over harness leather straps edge finish as that will all happen naturally over time but will still give them a hot of oil. Made a small back to run inside with glasses. power supplies adapter and chargers etc.. outside pouch more accessible things like pass cards and ear buds etc. Folks at work and home seem to think its a little cool. Learned lots about planning the assembly and order of operations etc., and now looking to use the lessons learned to make by young fella new computer bag for his new gaming laptop which made him so happy I think he peed.

bikermutt07 Posted December 28, 2017 Report Posted December 28, 2017 Great job. Road kill couch is an odd beast. Way to up cycle. Quote I'm not paying 80 bucks for a belt!!! It's a strip of leather. How hard could it be? 4 years and 3 grand later.... I have a belt I can finally live with. Stitching is like gravy, it's only great if you make it every day. From Texas but in Bossier City, Louisiana.
