I make and restore leather products in my spare time, mostly bags, backpacks and small items like wallets and card-holders. I am still learning a ton every time I take on a new project and always appreciate feedback on my creations.
For the moment I don't take orders as I like to spend too many hours getting the finished product as good as I can : this means that if I were to sell these bags, the selling price would be way more than the bags are worth due to the hours of work involved.
As always, do let me know what you think of this creation and this video. If you have any tips or comments about the techniques used, please let me know by dropping a comment below this video :)

James: I love what you do with your 3D printer. Not only the texture pattern, but you dye holder with a spot for the dawber. Excellent. If you can imagine it, you can probably 3D print it. Every time you get a great idea printed and it works, it justifies the purchase of the printer. On another note, if I might suggest a better free hand (no stitching pony) method. Eric Corter has a video on his 'Leap Frog' method of 'in air' stitching. He has been doing it for over 15 years. I learned it and haven't used my pony for years. His method produces very even clean stitches and the technique allows for very fast, accurate stitching. It is only a suggestion. Leather workers are usually attached to their construction methods. Thank you again for the video. (my favorite video of yours is the refurbish of the Swiss Army pouch) Wish I could find one to play with.

Thank you so much for the kind message and for the tip on the Leap Frog method!
I only stitch without a pony for the smaller stitch lines (and even then I'll often bust out a stitching pony). I'll take a look at how Eric does it as it could definitely help save some time :D

@@JamesBerry I made a cowboy hat (Tony's pattern from DieselPunkRo) and only used the Leap Frog method. Eric's method saves the time moving the piece in the pony. Have fun.
