When I bought my motorcycle (used), it had an underseat tool roll made of vinyl that had cracked over time. I had a dry sack with a hole in it - Cordura type fabric with a waterproof backing - that I cut apart. The fabric was perfect for sewing a tool roll. The compression straps got reused as tie straps to keep the roll from unrolling. That was a very satisfying project because it allowed me to up-cycle something broken, and make a better tool roll than the original one.
My mother sewed up a wrench roll for me when I was at college. Many objects can be stored that way. Another option for the camp knives: I found folding liner-locker chef knives. So I can fold it up and carry in a pocket while camping.
I liked the cord lock idea! Curious why you put the leather on the inside versus the outside? You wife’s Tacoma is awesome! Loved the blue color too. My dream truck!
It's her dream truck, too! 😁 The cord lock was a sudden, last-minute inspiration, and I'm finding it to work quite well so far! The leather is purely there to protect the fabric from the knife tips; If I put it on the outside (which would look nice), the tips could still wear through the fabric and might cause fraying/tearing that at least in theory might spread enough to be problematic. Honestly, this fabric would probably be fine by itself, considering the light use, but I often like to experiment where it doesn't matter as much so I have some experience for when it does matter. I hope that helps! Thanks for being part of the channel!
Nice project... same basic technique could be used for all sorts of sharp & pointy things... a chisel roll, screwdrivers, scissors etc. Chop sticks perhaps, but never thought I could find a storage solution for my tongue depressor collection...
What? Not one comment about the "Not So" labelling? I'm actually a fan of small projects; they're thought out, drawn out, cut out, and done. Then you have time to think about the 'second generation' version, what you'd do the next time. As always a great video, useful, informative. YVR
I like it that you used the Singer HD. It's good to see the machines of us commoners being used for such projects.
I am still genuinely surprised by how much I am enjoying using this machine!

I recently made a tool roll for an old Xolite tool set that the pouch had worn out on.

I have also made a quick and dirty blade protector by stapling or taping a couple of pieces of cereal box together to slip the blade in to.
I use a pouch like this to carry my throwing knives on hikes 👌🏻you can fold the flap around and still be able to fast draw with it as well!

Great little project Jason...hope that wasn't salt water in the opening segment
Thanks! Nope, just fresh water, thankfully!
