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.

Hello I'm French, I'm sorry if my english is bad.
Could you present us all your cretions in a video (knives, bags, axes...)
I would be too egear to see that.
I hope you will see this message and I love what you do.
Keep on going !
(Thank google translate)
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
To BB's girlfriend- you have a keeper.
To the both of you- happy anniversary
Now that's a gift from the heart, I'm sure she'll love it!
These are the type of bags that get better looking as they age.Lovely craft work😀🇬🇧
"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.
@Infovest m
You have a much broader skill set than I was anticipating. Another excellent product man, well done!
I really like these leather working videos more and more! I would be interested in seeing you make an entire backpack!
That bag is amazing! Mrs. Black Beard is a very lucky lady. Happy anniversary to you
Such a beautiful bag, I had to watch the video again! Fantastic!
Louis Vuitton può solo imparare da te! Bel lavoro come sempre!
These videos make me feel like if the world came to a halt, I could just make my own stuff. 😋
Beautiful work, as always my friend. Thanks for keeping such an excellent standard of content on your channel. Have a great weekend!
Thank you
Amazing stuff fella, always fun to watch one of your videos, keep it up.
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 .
Awesome work once again :) I really like the wood gem toggle thing.
I'm sure that your girlfriend is thrilled with your gift 🎁. It was made with love and care. She is a very lucky young lady 👩.
Keep the great videos coming.
Thanks for sharing and God bless
Happy Anniversary! That was a thoughtful gift!
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?
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
Awesome piece..love the sound of the world passing you by
Really beautiful Bag!!!!! Thanks for the post!!!
Well done my friend, that was awesome! I'll bet the good lady was pleased with that. Happy anniversary too :)
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!
A man of the Renaissance with you

Really amazing work!
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.
Amazing I can watch this all day after day ....... beautiful
Very inspiring
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!
Lavoro molto ben eseguito ,modella bravissima !!
He says simple but I say a masterpiece, also love your content
Maravilloso trabajo. Me parecio super la herramienta que utiliza para hacer los orificios.
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.
Very beautiful! I hope, your gift is appreciated!
Really, is not simple! It's very very good work!
Can you please tell me, where can I find a similar leather?
Love leather working video🔝

I like the way you wet form the leather in a vise. I have struggled to get smooth corners when I wet form. I will have to try your method next time.
