Hi all5a670864420de_LegBag3.jpg.ee10bba3688066bdf2e4387e008b8174.jpg5a670869021c2_LegBag2.jpg.72def152efb4e731bdfb6b6a0441ba3e.jpg

I've just completed a commission for a steampunk leg bag. I used an oiled leather from Tandy - can this stuff be wet moulded at all please?

The bag hangs down 9 inches from the belt so it sits around the upper thigh, for future ones I may try and cut in something like a spiders web pattern into the hanging harness.

Any feedback welcome :-)

Thanks

The bag looks great.

I don't think you will have much luck wet molding oil tanned leather.

You're gonna need veg tan tooling leather for that.

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.

Thanks SpaceDog - I'm hoping this one leads to more orders from the local steam-punk groups

Interesting strap hanger

Thanks - I used a coat hanger for the curves and the hook in the middle of the hanger allows lining up on centre marks, low tech works most of the time ;)

Huh?

The hanger part between the belt and the bag - I used a curved wooden coat hanger to template the curves and the hook in the middle was used to align on a centre mark whilst making the pattern :-)

 

I hope that helps
