Leather tool bag

[Branislav (B.C.)]

If you heard hammering noises coming from the Textiles room over the last few weeks, it was me punching hundreds of stitch holes or otherwise just working on this project – a leather tool bag measuring about 12" x 9" x 5":

I used Dieselpunk.ro patterns for the bag and shoulder strap, slightly modified for the custom inner panel and the hardware I used. The leather (6-7oz veg tan + 3oz suede) came from Tandy and the hardware from Buckleguy.

This was also an excuse to get myself a stamp/brand, so I ordered one from this store and it turned out great:

It took about 18 hours of work. I’d say I won’t make something as difficult to stich ever again, but… I’ll almost certainly do it again.

That is absolutely beautiful. I want to get into leatherwork at some point.

Not only is the project itself beautiful, but your pictures of it are as well. I really would like to learn how to take better pics of my projects at some point…
