I'm more or a lurker than a poster. I just gotta finish the handles and shoulder strap.

Looks great. I have been wanting to make a leather briefcase / laptop bag similar to this. What weight and type of leather did you use?

I did his Motoko 3. Great value if you buy Motoko 1/2 and 3 together. This was my first ever proper leather project.

That is a nice looking briefcase. What kind of leather is that

It was the first piece of leather i'd ever bought. I think they called it pull up oil tan. I bought two shoulders and I still have one waiting for the right project. Because I don't do tooling I'm leaning more and more toward chrome tan.
