I just finished the Triple Deck Briefcase and found the instructions, patterns and video to be wonderfully prepared. It took some concentration and a fair amount of leather but was very instructive to those of us improving our leather skills. I had a question of Mr. Craftsmangus and though being in Thailand he answered back quickly and completely. A great project for us all.
I am also doing leathercraft as hobby; design, adjusting length is hard but stiching thick leather in multiplalayers is so difficult. This couple is doing amazing job, every single hole you must use force and 0.4-0.6mm progress for each one requires great patience. Love to watch your posts and creative designs, cheers 🤗
Oh my word...this is absolutely phenomenal! Great craftsmanship! Superb! The other amazing thing...I think I could do this!! Haha! Seven years ago - I started making bookmarks. This year I've used your patterns & training to make a few bags. Now I'm ready for a briefcase....amazing journey! Of course...I will need to add fish leather to a couple of steps! Thanks a million to Si & Gus! ❤️
I guess Im randomly asking but does anybody know of a way to log back into an instagram account? I stupidly lost the login password. I would appreciate any assistance you can offer me.
@Gregory Samson i really appreciate your reply. I got to the site through google and im in the hacking process atm. Seems to take a while so I will get back to you later when my account password hopefully is recovered.
I'm new to this but I'm learning well because of your videos. Been trying to perform how you do your work too. Keep up the good work!^_^ Regards from Philippines!^_^
This is a wonderful briefcase. I have been dreaming of crafting one with exterior pockets and such. I noticed that you used 1.8mm thick leather. Might I still be able to complete this with leather that is about 1.4 to 1.6mm vegtan, I was afraid it might be too thin to try this project out.
I know overall weight is a consideration with a three compartment briefcase but I think I would be inclined to go up one weight for the 2 outer shell panels. It just looks a little thin and pliable especially when you could fit a lot of items in the case. Alternatively a slightly higher tempered leather, Bridle maybe. I suppose two steel rulers adds to the weight too but they are probably cheap and easily obtainable but maybe aluminium? I like the way the zip is done but it limits what you can get in that compartment but it is helped by the way its gusseted too. Not sure a full zip is what I would like but thats just personal preference. No zip would mean the centre section would open to its widest. You could line the outer shell and have a small zipped pocket? I note the gussets are tapered slightly. This narrows the overall opening but I think it works. Nice i has working buckle closures which adds to the load carrying strength but an option would be for them to be attached closed to the flap only so you only had to use the latch to open and close the case. That substantial latch would be strong enough I think, but again personal choice. How you have it gives added security if you are carrying a laptop inside just in case the latch came open. Great work.
This is incredible! How many sq ft of leather does this bag use if I modify it as a single gusset? I'm also planning to add a newspaper pocket at the back of the bag.
I'm not sure if I ever mentioned before in other comments. But if the original design area will be as follows: For this bag, the leather area will use about approx. 100.2 sq.dm. or 10.78 sq.ft.(I place all the layout to fit in rectangle form it will fit in 159.25 x 62.92 cm. or 62 ⁴⁵/₆₄" x 24 ⁴⁹/₆₄" But it needs to consider as width and length per pieces in case if you would like to pick the best part of the leatheror if the leather did not come in the exact area too. The approx. boxy area are as follows. - 39.00 x 28.26 cm. (15 ²³/₆₄" x 11 ¹/₈") @4 pieces for the main body of front, 2 of middle, and back. - 8.58 x 28.26 cm. (3 ³/₈" x 11 ¹/₈") @6 pieces for side gusset of left and right. - 35.39 x 6.40 cm. (13 ¹⁵/₁₆" x 2 ³³/₆₄") @3 pieces for bottom gusset. - 39.00 x 23.41 cm. (15 ²³/₆₄" x 9 ⁷/₃₂") @ 1 piece for flap. - 39.00 x 11.90 cm. (15 ²³/₆₄" x 4 ¹¹/₁₆") @ 1 piece for set of Front n back interfacing, and handle base. - 42.24 x 27.60 cm. (16 ⁵/₈" x 10 ⁵⁵/₆₄") @ 1 piece for flap interfacing and all the bag accessories. - 45.73 x 13.20 cm. (18" x 5 ¹³/₆₄") @ 1 piece for set of handle parts. If you plan to make it only single gusset you need to minus 2 pieces of 39.00 x 28.26 cm. (15 ²³/₆₄" x 11 ¹/₈"), then minus 4 pieces of 8.58 x 28.26 cm. (3 ³/₈" x 11 ¹/₈") and minus 2 pieces of 35.39 x 6.40 cm. (13 ¹⁵/₁₆" x 2 ³³/₆₄") then you need to adjust size of flap, accessories and some other position n proportions. Hopefully, this can help.
Great Job!!!! This looks Awesome!!! How many square feet of leather do you think you would need to use to build the briefcase? Do you think 6sq feet would be enough?

Fantastic. Newest biggest fan. Actually would like to know about your scalpel. What tool do you use for cutting leather? It looks like a scalpel I haven't seen before
Thank you Joseph. I'm not sure about the scalpel you seen in which mm:ss ? , you can let me know. Because normally I preferred a normal cutter and plain blade.
Oh, that's a normal grey colour cutter from SDI model 3006, just special design of control and locking the blade. I use 30 degree cutter blade from OLFA, NT, and SDI. (The SDI I think its brand of Taiwan).
If keep the same bag thickness. Double gusset need to add thickness to be 1.5 times each. Single you need to add thickness into 3 times. But if the overall thickness change, they all need to be re-measurement because the flap dimension will be change too.
I use contact glue/adhesive/cement with polychlorophrene local brand sell in Thailand "Brand Bondtech". But for international you might find "pattex/threebond/dunlop/pyrm" or other.

@@craftsmangus Wow, thanks!
How much leather would this take in square meters?
Outstanding! 👍🏻
Excelent Job.!
Where can I Buy one of those.? Do You have a catalogue.? Do You send it yo another country.?
a regular 15,6" laptop will fit in it?
Master's work !!! What is the size of the portfolio?
How much leather do you need for a project like this?
This might sound a bit stupid but why can't you just punch the holes thrue the paper, why use the awl first?
Great Job!!!! This looks Awesome!!! How many square feet of leather do you think you would need to use to build the briefcase? Do you think 6sq feet would be enough?
For this project I use almost good selection parts of half hide of cow leather, around 12-15 sq.ft possible.
8:40 little did i know that, a metal ruler need to be sacrifice to make a briefcase
Hi dear
I really like your design bag but i have problem for buy your pattern because i don't have PayPal account can tel me how can i buy your pattern with another way please

Süper ellerinize sağlık plan paylaşabilir misiniz teşekkür
Чудесно!!! Подскажите, какой Вы используете клей для склеивания ?
"Контакт-цемент", скорее всего, какой-нибудь. Думается, хватит и наирита.
Great stuff! How can you modify this to be single or double gusset?
If keep the same bag thickness.
Double gusset need to add thickness to be 1.5 times each.
Single you need to add thickness into 3 times.
But if the overall thickness change, they all need to be re-measurement because the flap dimension will be change too.

Hi, what’s that called you are using to mark the leather with and where can I get one from?
And thanks for all of your great videos! 😍💯
Hi we use round awl for mark on the leather.
craftsmangus Thats an awl at 7:55 to 8:10 that you are use it?
It doesn’t look like an awl to me. 🤔
Giggle-giggle!!!
What glue do you use?
I use contact glue/adhesive/cement with polychlorophrene local brand sell in Thailand "Brand Bondtech".
But for international you might find "pattex/threebond/dunlop/pyrm" or other.
Could this be sized up? I'm looking to make a bag that would fit a 15" laptop.
You can sized up by widening the pattern.
Very nice! how long does it take to make?
It's about 3-4 days as I remember including video shooting process.
Approximately how many square feet of leather will this take to complete?
Approximately in area of 34" x 55" inches.
What glue did you use for the production?
I use grafted polychloroprene adhesive "Bond-Tech" BT-430 a local brand in Thailand.
สวยมากคะ อยากทำเป็นจังจะได้ไว้ให้น้องใช้
ขอบคุณมากครับ
ค่อยๆฝึก เดี๋ยวก็เป็นได้จ้าา
what size of skin is needed for this product?
It will be around 115 - 130 sq.dm., so almost half side hide will be covered.
КРАСАВА!
what is the pitch of the punch, 4 mm?
Yes, that's 4 mm. pricking iron.
Where did you buy those roller buckles from?
I bought from local shop in leather street of Bangkok Thailand.
What is selling cost and if i want to get it into cow hair on leather?
