Definitely a lucky daughter. So sweet that you made her something. I loved Wednesday and have been watching a lot of creations for different items in the series. That bag is stunning though! And that's a cool idea to weigh down the inside layer. I haven't seen anyone do that yet.
Can you imagine the daughter at school… “Where did you get that bag?” “ Oh this was made by my Daddy “ ( this ladies and gentlemen is how you cast shade on every other father in your children’s school)
Oh my goodness. I froze the screen to look at her bag. I wish I had one for my. Great Granddaughter. It is fabulous. So glad someone else seen it and found it amazing looking.
I love watching your channel ive got a Grand Daughter coming soon , first in the family , maybe in several years ill be able to produce something like that for her again great job
I've avoided bags with gussets like this because I'm always afraid my hole count will be off and I'll screw it up. What method do you use to assure they're all going to match up? Great work!
Very nice work! I love that knife. Using a craft knife is a little more challenging for me to hold straight. That wood handle has got to be a lot more substantial and easier to direct.
@@RoadAgentLeather @ 2:20 and on for cutting out the major pieces. After some hand surgeries, a craft knife or X-acto just isn't enough for me to hold onto. I've tried using a skiving knife for the long cuts but holding it upright and perpendicular to the leather can get a little wiggly too.
Great job. Love vids and content. Never made anything. But repaired lot of leather on farm. Always amazed at detail in saddles. Can't wait til next project. You and your family have Merry Christmas.
you can always just buy a randoseru if you dont have the skill to make something like this, i as a adult have one that fits me its very similar. It also fits my laptop which is very nice and its hard enough that i store many electronics in it. but i loved this video i find these relaxing.
I love your version of the bag! It's perfect. What size are the buckles you have used? And why did you secure the straps around the ring with a book screw instead of a rivet?
Thanks! The straps are 3/4" wide. So I used center bar buckles of appropriate width. They're not the same as the "screen" version (even after an extensive search). I was making this as a gift for my daughter; so was guessing on the length of the shoulder straps. I made them long and wanted to be able to easily shorten them if needed. So I used a removable screw instead of a rivet.
I actually think a couple different bags were used on the show. There are times when it's a smaller structured bag and others where it's bulkier with more suppleness. I honestly believe they were handmade by a craftsman and not a company. Cambridge Satchel did say they did not make the bag.
I have a Zatchels bag and I hate using it because the opening is a hassle once it is closed.. you did the same thing for this bag. A magnet close would have been perfect, otherwise, good job for the craftsmanship.
Real nice job. I'm surprised the 26 sewed so well when it's not threaded correctly. You missed threading the needle bar before going through the needle. I've missed a guide before and the machine wasn't happy about it.
lol. Thanks. I know . . . didn't realize until I went to my next work piece and was changing thread color. I was like "did that just happen, or has it been like that the whole time?"
I have a EDC bag, nothing special. it's a real common sling bag. Its available everywhere online but the materials just crap. Once it gets worn the lining peels out and you can see through it. I mean it's real thin. I would love to have one made of leather if I can find one. Or even a decent canvas.
hello i just stumble onto your site very nice bag could you suggest a good place to buy similar hardware i live in canada and it's hard to find something big and sturdy as well that it has a great finishes on it thank you for the video c.noel canada
hi, thank you for this tutorial. I just ran into your channel and have many questions since I have purchased some leather and have yet to make anything because I don't have a skiver yet. but I see you are using a different tool hopefully more affordable than the skiver I was eyeballing:). could you tell me the name of it and where I might get one? Also the glue you are using, please let me know what that is as well it would be soooo helpful. I realize that you are hand stitching but could it be done by machine or be too thick? Thank you in advance for all your help.
Thanks! Not to a mirror finish. I think the wax and general softness of this leather prevents it from burnishing like veg-tan. But yes, it did burnish good enough.
Hi. As mentioned, I didn't use a pattern for this. Just went off screenshots. However, the folks over at Babylon Leather (who have sponsored a previous video of mine) have a pattern that looks exactly like it: "Babylon Pattern Leather Working Template AAB-607."
Two comments and one question. Number one, lucky daughter. Number two, if there is a second season, they can let her pack a pistol and have you make her a shoulder holster. Of course it will have to be filmed in Texas. The question, where can I find a set of the corner cutters you use? Fine job as always.
lol. I wish. I did catch the Luger Christina Ricci whips out in the last episode. The corner cutters came from Amazon (which is actually a really good place for inexpensive tools). Just search "leather corner cutters". There's several different sets of them.
just stumbled across this video. i enjoyed it very much and being a leather worker by trade, i sometimes watch tutorial videos to see how other folks go about it. what endeared me to you was, at the beginning of your video discussing leather choice, the flicker of consternation on your face at translating 2.25mm thickness to 5-6oz leather. HA! i can NEVER understand the utterly useless system folks in america use to determine thickness. it's completely pointless. how thick is that 2" x 4"? well, it's about 27-28oz.
My understanding is that the "ounces" measurement is how much one square foot of a given piece of leather would weigh. So the thicker the leather, the more ounces it is. Admittedly an archaic system (kinda like "gauge"), but that's what we're stuck with.
Thanks, that's nice bit of reverse engineering, I'll have to make one for one of my granddaughters (which means they'll all want one, better fire up the assembly line).
Hey I’ve been trying to contact you on Instagram but for some reason it’s not working, but I would really like to see if there’s a way that you could make me a Wednesday bag and then I could pay you for it. so if there’s a way that we could work this out, I would really appreciate that.🙂
Hi. Not sure why I'm not seeing your messages on Instagram. I don't currently make this bag for sale. However, if you google "Cambridge Satchel Company", they sell a model called the "small portrait backpack" that is a dead-ringer. Also check out their regular "portrait backpack". It looks large enough to fit a notebook computer.
lol. It only looks that way. I used only a little; it just sat on the very top as a bubble. It didn't actually fill up the screw. Thanks for watching and leaving a comment!

One of the last things promised but yet to be invented…. Smellovision. I bet your workshop smells gorgeous with the perfume of leather. Great job.
Can you imagine the daughter at school…
“Where did you get that bag?”
“ Oh this was made by my Daddy “
( this ladies and gentlemen is how you cast shade on every other father in your children’s school)
It is amazing how much time & energy goes into making a bag like this! Thank you for this video!
Oh my goodness. I froze the screen to look at her bag. I wish I had one for my. Great Granddaughter. It is fabulous. So glad someone else seen it and found it amazing looking.
Mastery of simple tools to turn out functional art and imagination enough to do it. Excellent!
So lovely. I would love to see a mini version of this backpack. With a slimmer straps. You rock man....
I love watching your channel ive got a Grand Daughter coming soon , first in the family , maybe in several years ill be able to produce something like that for her again great job
Congratulations! Just had my second grandson. Spoil them as much as you can.
The quality and craftsmanship of your bag looks better than the original!!!!

Very nice work! I love that knife. Using a craft knife is a little more challenging for me to hold straight. That wood handle has got to be a lot more substantial and easier to direct.
thanks! Which knife are you referring to? I'm using a couple in this one.

@@christmasco.6015 That's an Al Stohlman trim knife. I picked it up at Tandy years ago.
I use a retractable razor knife, you just need to change blades before starting the project. The handle fits the hand pretty good.
Great job. Love vids and content. Never made anything. But repaired lot of leather on farm. Always amazed at detail in saddles. Can't wait til next project. You and your family have Merry Christmas.
I have never watched leather work before. It is very interesting. Thank you 😊
Absolutely awesome work.
OMG this such a fine made bag 😍😍😍
Thanks!
That was interesting to watch. That satchel will last forever. Nice work!
Very good. Now my daughter wants one.
Very cool, I’m sure your daughter’s gonna love it

This is awesome. The second i saw the bag i knew i wanted to make one
loveee the bag. looks amazing
You should a video of your daughter receiving that gift😍😍😍
That is some top quality work.

I'm sorry, when you're talking about the satchel design are you saying The Cambridge Satchel Company? I couldn't make out what you were saying.
Thanks
wicked!!!! great video, thanks for this!
As always, beautiful work!
Horween is the robust choice for this. Nice re-engineering on the clasps to accommodate quick access
The students back-pack came from Japan. All the ones I have seen so far come from the post war (WW2) years in Japan.
Can you do a tutorial video on that skiver I have one but can’t seem to make it work well
The one at the 10:50 mark? I literally just made a whole video on that little machine. Check out my channel's home page.
Hey, great video! Would you remember the needle size that you used for sewing this backpack?
I have a Zatchels bag and I hate using it because the opening is a hassle once it is closed.. you did the same thing for this bag. A magnet close would have been perfect, otherwise, good job for the craftsmanship.
Yeah, buckles can be a pain. But they are more secure. Thanks for watching!
Very Nice!
Awesome job!
Beautiful!
Those punches you use on the corner and belt end who makes those? Thanks
Great video. You deserve way more subs!

The hardware I purchased from Tandy Leather
Great video. Where did you get you corner radius cutter and punchers you used to cut the slots for your handle?
Thanks! All from Amazon. Search "leather corner cutters" or "leather hole punches". Super cheap and there's a variety each to choose from.

The skiver is from Tandy Leather. But you can also buy it from Amazon or eBay
The backing on your basting tape tore and I cursed reflexively. Hate when that happens.
oh, I forgot to also ask if you can give me the information on the seam guide that you have on your sewing machine. Again thanks
The material/edge guide? It came with the machine. It's from Cobra
Simply beautiful
Will you selling anything like this?
Very nice man! Does that chromexcel give any kind of decent burnish with tokonol? Couldnt really tell
Thanks! Not to a mirror finish. I think the wax and general softness of this leather prevents it from burnishing like veg-tan. But yes, it did burnish good enough.
💼 THAT IS A STUNNING BAG! You got a size for adults?
Thanks! No. I just made the one.
Buen día soy John de Lima(Perú),me podrías vender solo el patrón de la mochila de cuero por favor?,gracias.
Please tell us we can buy this pattern from you, I want to make one for myself! :D

There's a link in the video description of a pattern that is almost identical to this.

Здравствуйте! Дремель, для обработки края кожи, тоже подошёл в этой работе...
👍
Thanks, that's nice bit of reverse engineering, I'll have to make one for one of my granddaughters (which means they'll all want one, better fire up the assembly line).
I want to make one now, but I have no reason to… no kids. 😋
That sewing machine needs oil or a tuneup 😮
Just curious, how do you figure?
That's how those particular machines sound my friend. Possibly a Cobra Class 26 machine with a speed reducer.
@@sloppyjoe3617 oh ok 👍🏼

Dang I wonder what her other Dad made her.
20:54 - as a machinist who knows nothing at all about leatherworking, i can confidently tell you that that is WAAAYYY too much loctite.
lol. It only looks that way. I used only a little; it just sat on the very top as a bubble. It didn't actually fill up the screw. Thanks for watching and leaving a comment!
