Some of the assembly was tough to get going. Oh man! I don't know if I enjoyed making my pony as much as I enjoy using it. There are few things more rewarding than being able to make something that provides so much utility when used. I'm super pleased with mine and it isn't even extremely optimized. Quote

Real useful information on the construction too Thanks. @battlemunky to be honest, I have more ideas pop in my head than I ever get around to building. I haven't even made racks in my French cleat system for my tools yet. Lol. 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 GuyT Posted September 18, 2019 Members Report Posted September 18, 2019 Great looking bag! I recently used one of his patterns to make a bag for my wife. It was the one called a corset bag, I believe. She loves it. Quote
Members Eddie Q Posted September 19, 2019 Members Report Posted September 19, 2019 Mutt !!!!!!!!!! Haven't been around much,but glad to see some of your work. Dude, I can't believe you fell for the tape,punch holes and cut deal !!! I have many of Tony See patterns and they are great, just being a self taught, make a reusable template kinda guy, i don't use his instructions. I use my diamond chisels or my sewing MO-Sheen(which seems to be frowned upon with Tony's followers) and of coarse have to do some tooling on them ;). I print the patterns and use spray adhesive to glue them on poster board to be reused. The bag looks great, I love everything about it !! I wish i could post pics of the stuff I make, but cant figure this platform for the life of me(even have a stupid resizing app and still no go) !! Tony is a great guy(I've chatted with him many times) and an awesome designer !! Anyway, regards Amigo !!! Quote
Members Tugadude Posted September 19, 2019 Members Report Posted September 19, 2019 That, sir is a piece to be proud of. The contrast between the two leathers is amazing. That is my cup of tea if you will. I like the closure system on the flap. Funny how there are so many ways to accomplish it. That one is pretty cool and there really is no hardware to fail, etc. If carrying that around doesn't generate interest and people wanting one for their own I'll be amazed. Good job! Quote
bikermutt07 Posted September 19, 2019 Author Report Posted September 19, 2019 Thanks guys. As I mentioned before I just wanted to bang one out without having to make any adjustments. Also, I had recently purchased some second hand sinabroks hole punches I was itching to try out. And, I had some huge thread I wanted to use up. These are what led me to making it how Tony designed the pattern. 12 hours ago, Eddie Q said: Mutt !!!!!!!!!! Haven't been around much,but glad to see some of your work.

A lot of his army of followers are also of the notion that if it isn't vegtan and handsewn it will fall apart in a month. That's not really his fault, it's just newbs being newbs. As far as machine sewing goes, I'm still pretty gun shy of my two machines. I did however, find a company similar to Tony's on Etsy that has some machine sewing patterns. I might try a few of those to get my feet a little wet. 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....

Members pepeunidos Posted September 23, 2019 Members Report Posted September 23, 2019 Turned out great, @bikermutt07! Very rustic, and already looks like it's been around a while. I like Diesel Punk's YouTube channel as well, lots of good stuff there.
