I like how the latch of the bag is just the dowel sitting in the groove! Very cool concept. And I agree...the colors of the wood and leather are great together!
Use Barge cement or similar for structural gluing like that (where you're not stitching over top), the eco leather glue stuff won't hold over time. With the tap of a hammer your stuff will be permanently stuck, no more issues holding everything while the glue dries 👍
Really cool design. I'd love to see this upsized for briefcase / laptop bag. I also like the flexibility to change the look by painting the wood (although the natural wood looks great as it is).
Awww man the combination of the wood and leather looks so nice, I think I might make this to give away to my girlfriend and itd be interesting to see how it would work as a backpack or messenger bag, anyways thanks for sharing I've been needing a little inspiration lately. :)
Impressive that this is real DIY work by a woman, instead of yet another crafty, superficial creation. This is good work! Very glad to see your CNC table top machine, and I must get one. I also did not realize you could glue leather easily. Could you share the type of glue you used for the leather? Since I do a lot of woodwork and refinishing, let me pass on some info to you. I think the wood on your bag would look better and not get staining from use, if you finished it off with: 1. Coat liberally with Watco Danish Oil (follow label). Let dry overnight. 2. Thin out Varathane Polyurethane Oil Based Clear Interior Satin (30%) with Mineral Spirits (70%) and put 2-3 coats on oiled wood, sanding with 400 grit in between. Make sure you have no bubbles in the Poly finish. Make sure you wipe lightly after 30 mins of application to even out the layers. You will find that the Poly makes the wood durable and stain resistant, and gives a nice finish. I generally use a Satin not Gloss but that is your preference. You can also dye the wood prior to oiling and Poly coats, with some fun colors like Vintage Turquoise/ Aqua, or Red, or Green to match or contrast with the leather colors. Thanks for a great video and good luck with your projects. These are good enough to sell!
buy a thicker leather next time, make sure you burnish the edges, treat it properly and give it a nice dye. Pretty sure you can get pink or anything else in a good quality oil based product which will give you the best results. And always ALWAYS remember to apply with sheep woll scraps or wool daubers
okay ... this is a bit random, but when did a nut become a 'hex nut' ? I've noticed this neologism on several maker channels. A nut is hexagonal... 1920ish to...2017? (this is a genuine question)
Ever since it needed to be distinguished from wing, lock, flange, cap, jam, square, tee, castle, slotted, acorn, and heavy hex nuts (probably missed a few).
I can't say exactly when the commonly used term changed, but there are a bunch of different kinds of nuts, some of which aren't hexagonal. Like square nuts, or t-nuts, for example.
The fact that you didn't make this in the shape of bread is very disappointing. Just sayin. Otherwise it's a very neat project and a clean finished product.
Hardware links are in description box now!
How did I live under a rock for so many years without your channel?!! This bag is so cool!!
One of the best projects on this channel for a while.

Thank you Bruce!

Aaaah minimalist and leather. Beautiful!
This is so simple but yet looks so sophisticated. This is my favorite from you Jamie out of all the projects you have done so far.
Thank you so much Paul!

Very interesting idea on the closure. It looks great. Keep up the good work.

Awesome project! Very Creative. A good CNC project that's still accessible with tools.
Incredible! Absolutely loved this!!
Nice job. Looks great. The voice over had me thinking of Jimmy Fallon.
really cool bag
beatiful work..bold nice simple and elegant..
Really cool design. I'd love to see this upsized for briefcase / laptop bag. I also like the flexibility to change the look by painting the wood (although the natural wood looks great as it is).
A laptop bag would be incredible with this design!!!!
Lovely design, great job.
Pretty cool! To reinforce the edges where you glued the wood sides to the leather I can see thumbtacks being used. Would make it more durable.
thanks! good idea
This is super cute. I inherited some old school binoculars a while ago, but they didn’t have a case. I think an adaptation of this would be perfect.
This was really cool!
great design. really love it.
Great job, really nice bag!
Beautiful!

Love how the dowel wrapped in leather looks on the side of the bag. This turned out great!
Thanks!
-Jamie
That's really cool!
maybe add some varnish/stain/protection to the wood. Great design. thanks for sharing.
Very cool!

I think this is your best project since joining HMM Jamie :)
Thank you so much!

Nice bag. Please provide the hardware stuff links.
The links are there now :)
-Jamie
アイディアがすごくいいと思いました。
wow very cool and creative. does the front part with the dowel stay closed well by itself?
Yes it does!
-Jamie
Very nice thank for share I do cars interior and work with leather
Lovely
Very cool! Is there a way I could print the design to cut by hand? Can't find how to do that from easel...
Hi! The pdf template is added in the description!
I wonder....Japanese grade school backpack possible?
I want! how much is this?
This would be thousands of dollars from Gucci or Balenciaga

Great video it's more useful)))
Very nice! Which glue did you use?
Leather glue!
-Jamie
What kind of machine is that?
Increíble
Nice design, But in my opinion use only glue and not sewing is not good for durability.
Show👏👏👏
Nice!! What kind of machine is that?
Think it’s a cnc machine
It's a Carvey by Inventables. It's a CNC also known as a 3D Carver.
cool
wow.
thought that was toast
a cat lattal strap af lathar .. that accent tho x) nice build
Or just get thicker leather .... you can get leather more than 4mm thick!
The fact that you didn't make this in the shape of bread is very disappointing. Just sayin. Otherwise it's a very neat project and a clean finished product.
Titles it as CNC project, shows a cnc for 15 minutes....
Looks nice, but I think your “modern” channel should show alternatives to real leather
Carvey Dent
Where's the other girl?
