I forgot to say I am calling this my Holy Poke method. If anyone knows what it should be called please advise us.

I've seen a purse and a knife sheath done this way.  The people called it stitchless.

Now they would be interesting to see some pictures of. Stitchless seems a bit lacking as there are lots of ways to make a product stitchless. I like Holy Poke as you make a hole and poke the other part in. Mmm.... works for me anyway .

I think I'll try that  If you dont mind that is!

Perfect candidate for a laser Rocky Aussie,You could be assembling one while one was cutting. Repeatability  ,while you attend to another ask= Production

Rather than stuff a bunch of off topic photos into this thread, do a google search "site:leatherworker.net stitchless" without the quotes.  You will find a number of photos as well as some distractors like a triangular coin purse!

Thanks for that Tom. I am surprised that there is not more out there on this method. What is posted on LW though little, is better than I have found elsewhere so far. I hope I can get time to do a few bags and such using this and similar related methods sometime soon.

That is what I am thinking and along with a bit of 3d printing to help I think I can come up with some pretty interesting stuff. I am talking to some laser sign people in town here about trials on cutting the leather and should have a few answers over the next couple weeks I think.
