Steampunk leg bag

[dGinLeatherCraft]

Hi all

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

Harvey

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.

Thanks BikerMutt - I figured as much, worth asking though

Nice work.

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
