Simple Leather Bag | Leatherworking

- Back to leatherworking projects! This time I made a bag, a gift to my girlfriend for our anniversary. Xoxo
The design is really simple with very few parts but it still took a long time to make all by hand, specially the finishing process that I thought was going to be much quicker!
I want this present to be as much as possible handmade, that's why I also forged my own rings out of brass round stock, I doubt it's cheaper than buying rings online but they do feel and look great.
The only material other than brass (and leather of course) it's olive wood burl for the locking mechanism.
The bag measure 25x18cm (10x7inch) and it's around 6cm (2.36inch) thick.
At the end of the video you might see two difference in the finished bag:
I decided to stain the back side of the shoulder belt as it looked a bit unfinshed otherwise.
On the locking loop I added two small pieces of olive wood burl to complement the lock better.
I also want to mention the two inspiration for this bag design.

He made a bag forming the sides like I did here (I think at least, I can't find the precise video)

You have to check his video if you want to learn more about leatherworking, so many usefull information! I made the lock as the one he made here: • Make a Leather Pouch -...
Index of operation and materials:
0:02 2mm (0.08inch) thick leather
0:40 Cut plywood pieces to make the wet forming mold for the two sides
2:12 Forming leather with vise pressure
3:04 Contact Cement (Contact adhesive)
4:00 Trimming sides flush with main leather piece
4:28 Beveling tool used every time a cut is made to break the corners of the leather
5:04 Dyeing edges with brown leather dye, rubbing it on also makes the edges smoother
5:27 Fork punch used to mark stiches position
5:45 Holes are then drilled with 2.5mm Bit
6:25 Stitching with waxed thread going over the border for extra fancy look
7:11 Cutting front to size and shape
7:30 Make two ring out of 4mm round brass stock
8:30 Also badly soldered the ends, pretty sure it's not needed since brass work hardens very quickly, I can't bend back the rings
12:00 Shoulder belt parts, I could have made it out of a single piece if I had one long enough.
13:04 Grooving tool to add decorative grooves
13:50 Puch holes for the lock loop
14:00 Small strip of the same leather rounded with sandpaper and dyed
14:18 Olive Wood Burl, cut to size, sanded square on the 2x72 belt grinder, drilled with 2.5mm bit and ground to shape again with the 2x72 belt grinder
14:54 Groove for the thread to sit in carved with chisel
15:08 Boiled linseed oil as finish
15:50 Alcohol is used to rub off some of the finish of the leather, with the help of fine steel whool. I like the look of the leather much more if it's not uniform
17:04 Marking with the hot branding iron I made a while back
Off camera I applied matt leather finish all over the bag.
For those asking where to find tools:
I bought mine some years ago when I was starting to make leather sheaths. I went for the cheapest I was able to find. Have been working great so far! Can't find exactly the one I have but I listed some in my amazon storefront that are pretty much the same and any similar ones will work aswell.

The Old LEATHER SMITH here, I have a few suggestions, put liquid dish soap in the water, the leather will absorb the water faster and more completely and will hold shape and B easier 2 cut, the stitching looks good but will not hold up in the long run, I suggest the BACK WARD STITCH it also only requires only 1 needle, and each stitch is Locked, if you don't know how I would B happy 2 show U otherwise good job GOD'S BLESSINGS BROTHER ✝️⚾🙃
The stitch holes for that thread are way too big also

I love how you know when to slow down the satisfying sections
"simple" leather bag ;D
Good job man, you're becoming better and better with every project you show us.
when you got your technique down, are familiar with the tools and have lots of practice there might be such a thing as simple brainsurgery
@Kam even if he can't he still can complain if he want to.

You have a much broader skill set than I was anticipating. Another excellent product man, well done!
all the hardware you made is gorgeous!! really makes the bag feel special
That bag is amazing! Mrs. Black Beard is a very lucky lady. Happy anniversary to you
Ah-ha-ha!
The ole… "power steering fluid on leather to make it look distressed"… trick. 😁
Beautiful bag, beard.
Thank you, for sharing!
Awesome! No music and fast forwarding! Well done!!
Well done my friend, that was awesome! I'll bet the good lady was pleased with that. Happy anniversary too :)
Such a beautiful bag, I had to watch the video again! Fantastic!
These videos make me feel like if the world came to a halt, I could just make my own stuff. 😋
I really like these leather working videos more and more! I would be interested in seeing you make an entire backpack!
Lovely job and I Thank You Kindly! Now off to my shop to make one similar for my daughters birthday! Much Lovely Leather to You! DaveyJO in Pennsylvania
Happy Anniversary! That was a thoughtful gift!
Magnifique ! Quel talent !Votre petite amie doit être très fière de se promener avec un aussi beau sac à son bras .... Mille bravos à vous .
More talented than a thousand magicians
Beautiful work, as always my friend. Thanks for keeping such an excellent standard of content on your channel. Have a great weekend!
Thank you
Imagination and hard work are God's gift to man
Great work! Love all the handmade pieces and "quiet" bits (aka --- there's nothing that would ever rattle),
Really beautiful Bag!!!!! Thanks for the post!!!
I have just begun leather crafting. literally on my first project, making a wallet for my husband in which I am using one of your videos to do it. I am so inspired by your stuff! Please make more leather crafting videos so I can try them all!
Same here do you use whatsapp?
Awesome piece..love the sound of the world passing you by
Such a gorgeous bag!
Literally the only criticism I have of the finished product because it looks absolutely beautiful you did a great job is that you shouldn't have made the strap of fixed-length because most women usually like to have an adjustable strap so that they can make it fit them. If this is not something that is for sale and it's for your wife for someone that you know then chances are it doesn't matter but if it's for sale that's something to keep in mind.🙂👍✌️
Absolutely magnificent work!
Amazing I can watch this all day after day ....... beautiful
Very inspiring
Amazing stuff fella, always fun to watch one of your videos, keep it up.
Wow! Impressive! Love the bag!!
Louis Vuitton può solo imparare da te! Bel lavoro come sempre!
Parabéns pelo trabalho maravilhoso. Vc é habilidoso. Espetacular! !!!!!!
I did not expect some of those techniques! Interesting! Very cool bag!
you are amazing¡¡¡¡ you made it all by yourself, even the accessories, was incredible. Congrats¡¡
Ювелир с дрелью ))) Благодарю Вас ! Мастер на все руки !!!
I can honestly say I’ve never see. Anyone finish leather like that! Too cool. I love how you did the strap as well but I would need something adjustable because I’m short LOL
You are an artist released.Thank you.🇺🇸🇵🇸
Que maravilha, aprendi muito! Obrigado!
Lindaaaaa
Arte precisão capricho talento e amor pelo que vc faz amei !!!!!
Parabéns!!!!!
...nice work, you make it look so easy..
Very beautiful! I hope, your gift is appreciated!
Props on incorporating the wood work. Good video.
Ma c'è qualcosa che non ti riesce?? Mamma che invidia!, Anch'io vorrei saper fare tutto come te!!! Bel lavoro come al solito😍
You definitely have some unusual methods of doing things but as long as it gets the job done just shows that you don't always need the exact tool to do nice work. Anyways nice job.🙂👍✌️
Really amazing work!
The best video that i have seen.Thank you so much.please share the method of edge paint and edge burnish also with material.
Thanks again.
I love your projects.
Love leather working video🔝
Awesome work once again :) I really like the wood gem toggle thing.
That’s one buetiful pack! I’m a little inspired to go try and make one for my own everyday life. Btw, as a suggestion, would love to see you tackle a rocking chair build!
you could've just bought $0.50 rings from the store, but you took it to the next level by making your own from scratch?! Respect!
this will be my next project.thank you boss
Gorgeous!!!
@5:48 - somewhere, out there, a punch awl cries in the darkness of its pouch, unused and forgotten
🤣
when I first saw this video; I did not expect the use of the whip-stitch along the outer hydro-formed edges; but, I like the aesthetic it presents. I was expecting either a buck-stitch or a saddle stitch.
The whip stitch was probably not a good choice - if the thread gets snagged or worn and comes apart then all of the stitches are compromised. A saddle stitch is a better choice but otherwise it is a nice project.
Amazing video!!! What type of leather did you use to make it?
Wuau me dejaste con la boca abierta , felicidades eres un gran Artista 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Simply awesome
Très bon travail Monsieur...all my respect👍👍👍👍👍👍
Masterful work
Great design…I love it ❤️❤️❤️❤️
My good times were when I still go to movie theaters more often tracks that take me back but when I listen to the rock band like Delta Parole or GNR makes me feel the same good time feelings.
So beautifull !!!
Está genial realmente hermoso felicidades ojalá sigas haciendo más trabajos con piel

Wow. I'm a dude and don't know squat about handbags or women's fashion at all (my wife will attest to that fact, lol), but even know that is one handsome looking bag! Awesome job. Oh, and congratulations to you both!
I want to do one too!! 😃

The bikes sound good in the background!
