      Should look into using solid rivets there, they look so much nicer than pop rivets, and you can get aircraft grade ones cheap, and either buy, or make the tooling on your lathe.

      Apologies accepted. :) I'm just glad my browser still showed me the timestamp I was at when I tried to re-start playback this morning (after pausing to go to sleep last night), so I could pick back up where I left off. :) Had it not done that, that "This video is unavailable." message would have been a lot more frustrating. ;)

    I absolutely love letting my eyes wander around the workshop and seeing all those pretty and funny things in the background, like Simone's folding coat hanger prototype, the set of bananas to scale, the pile of WIP hats, or that amazing wooden toolbox/drawers cabinet on the right at 2:20. These videos are a joy to watch for the work being done and for the environment in which it is being done.

    I always appreciate that you post your projects regardless of them turning out as a huge success or not. We all need to see that even the people we look up to have less than perfect results after hours of planning and executing an idea. I recently had 3 small edc pouches I made from xpac knowing the first was gonna be a prototype and expected failure I was hopeful with the second. Mistakes were made and #3 was certainly gonna be it but it just didn’t have the rigidity I was aiming for.

  • @Corvid76

    If you offer a lid option for the official bags you sell, it might make more sense for it to open the other direction, lengthwise.. Especially if you're intending to open it on occasion while on it's side. Would be even cooler if the lid could be folded down flush against the inside of the bag's sides when not in use. I saw something similar back in the 90's and it was basically these rigid flaps with folds, much like a pull-down visor in a car.. And they lay against the side to be used as a bucket or folded up to be used as lid. A piece of strap from the outside of the bag was then slotted through loops that were on those flaps, when up in the lidded position, to secure it close. I have no idea what this bag was, it was on my grandma's church donations by someone and I only saw it briefly but I've always remembered how cool and functional it was, while still keeping it's shape.

    The lightweight aluminum is actually such an interesting material for bag... I think if you redid the frame from scratch (maybe titanium?) you could probably even utilize the bendyness to have it slide into the sides of the bag. The idea of sliding open an overhead or under-seat bag without any zips or opening space seems elite. Kinda makes me wanna take a breadbox as a flight bag

    To stop the wire bending around too much maybe add something like some small belt clips towards the middle to go around the wire? They may fit perfectly where the side stoppers were installed around 10:50. I’m not sure how much it would help to keep the shape of the wire but it may be worth a shot?

    A wire frame that goes to the bottom to hold the lid? To help it to stand better? Or just clip it to existing frame? How does it affect carry? I'm on a similar path as your edc one was except for mine is a backpack. Using waxed canvas or oilcloth. Gonna try both. I'm slightly broken and normal packs don't fit right. And as much as I like your bags, all of them, they're not what I want to hike with. I'm definitely considering some of your pouches tho!

If you want to use the bag as a work bag... I'm sure someone could make their own modules for their own uses.

    Interesting, why not have a rotating latch? like a bar in the middle that goes into slots on the surface and one end you have an upright to lock through. That will hold both sides down for you and be opposite to the force applied, so unlikely to come undone on its own.

    I feel that the solution isn't thicker material (it wasn't for NASA) rather corrugation (or an X shape pressed into the caps). For sure tho, it needs its own frame that "clips" in the existing one. Also, smoothed out edges, perhaps a turned lip. So this needs to be a pliable aluminium to allow fabrication.
