Here are some new pics. I used those snaps, one on each corner, on the inside lining and outer and it gives the lining a flat apparence which works fine for me.

Here's the almost finished product. waxing is the final step.

There are some flaws here and there but minimal, the rolled handles are a bit on the large side but not that much, first rolled handles I make.

I am quit happy with the bag and also with the learning process. The bottom of the bag is soft, that's not a problem but  I wonder which material should I use if would want to make it hard, like in this video at 4'31.

Texon board ( there are other brands as well) as used in shoe making for the insoles is used quite commonly. It can be stitched but holds is shape fairly well. If you want it extra stiff use some 3 ply instead or as well glued on after stitching.

Here's the final product, waxed and with Lefa cardboard at bottom (which is the equivalent to texon I guess)

Lefa board and Texon are very similar but I thought the Lefa was only quite thin. The Texon comes in 2 or 3mm and I would have picked the 3mm. Looks very nice at any rate.:thumbsup:

Thanks, I picked 4mm first but it was too heavy so I switch to 2mm and it is perfect.
