bikermutt07 Posted August 16, 2019 Report Posted August 16, 2019 Here is a bag I just finished. The pattern came from Diesel Punk on Etsy. The leather is Acadia tan crazyhorse and Wickett and Craig bridle in Fiebings golden brown pro dye. The thread is cigar 1mm from that guy that had us do some beta testing. The hardware is solid brass from The Buckle Guy. I used a lot of tools on this, more than anything I would say the hole punches and strap end punches from Wuta came in super handy. I also used a pair of sinabroks hole punches for most of the stitching in 1.5mm and a borrowed 1.5mm single hole from @koreric75 It was a lot of work and no I didn't burnish any edges. I just didn't feel it needed it butting up against the crazyhorse. Anyway, enjoy. I will post more pictures in the replies. 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.
Members CastleLeatherWorks Posted August 16, 2019 Members Report Posted August 16, 2019 That's a great looking bag !! on my list of things to make after I get more comfortable as I've only made wallets/card holders as of now. What's the inside look like ? did you add a liner or any pockets ? Quote

What's the inside look like ? did you add a liner or any pockets ? No lining. I'm not much on those, plus I'm probably not near good enough to make one up. The pattern did come with an inside pocket. I'll need to resize those and post them. I see a lot of first timers on Facebook that started with Tony's patterns. He also posts an assembly video with each build. Give it a shot. It doesn't take a lot of tools to do his stuff. 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....

Rockoboy Posted August 16, 2019 Report Posted August 16, 2019 That is a seriously good job. I like the closure so much, I think I can see myself borrowing that idea!

Members YinTx Posted August 16, 2019 Members Report Posted August 16, 2019 Neat. I've left edges unpainted and unburnished before because I felt it matched the item that way, and have received a lot of static over it. I wouldn't change the items tho, so keep your artistic license despite the naysayers.

Members Old Coach Saddlery Posted August 16, 2019 Members Report Posted August 16, 2019 Looks good. I like the rustic look of it. Quote
garypl Posted August 17, 2019 Report Posted August 17, 2019 That's a nice looking bag Mutt! How many hours do you figure you have in it? I also like the closure method. What’s with the extra holes/stitches in the picture of the pocket? Gary Quote Cowboy 4500, Consew 206RB-4
Members Aven Posted August 17, 2019 Members Report Posted August 17, 2019 That turned out sweet. Looks solid without being chunky. I like that detail that Gary asked about. Quote
