  • This bag was revived to give it life again after many years of neglect. It was found in a Thrift store in Portland, Oregon. It was totally flattened and dried out so that it would not flex anymore without tearing. It was more like cardboard than leather. It will be a gift to its new owner to celebrate a new journey in the appropriate field.

    Nice job, I was constantly afraid it could fall apart, but it came up really nicely!
    I use ricine oil in cases like, it's much thicker and protects leather beautifully. By no means a pro, just came to my mind when watching.

    Very nicely done! An un-threaded old Singer with a needle meant for leather,set on wide stitch, will give you nice, straight holes for hand sewing.

      ànd also punch extra holes to weaken the leather..

    Beautiful leather. But so sad from the not straight stitch work. Next time please use a draw straight line then do your holes and stitch.
    Futher cool project! Good job

      Looks like he just followed the previous holes. You don’t want to add new holes in the same area. It will weaken the leather.

      ​@@brittroge09 *Agreed. I learned this from other leather TH-camrs. The more holes, the more tearing and wearing down of the leather.*

    Walrus leather...appears to me, to be much like the texture of elephant leather. I know elephant to be fairly sturdy. I wonder if walrus leather is of the same quality. Nice restoration. You get a "like", and a new subscriber.

    Olive oil will go stale n smell bad. Dont use food oil on bags.

  • @joanobrien7754
    @joanobrien7754 ปีที่แล้ว

    What oil did you use?

    • @jmoshkowski
      @jmoshkowski ปีที่แล้ว +2

      It was originally hard as cardboard. I used olive oil spring it back to life. I would recommend leaving it sit for a few days afterwards to allow the oil to penetrate and equalize. It is easy to over saturate so work slowly. You may need to wash out the excess oil afterwards it depends on how dry the leather is. If it still has some flex I would start with Mink oil or Neatsfoot Oil.

    When you put the metal parts in the distilled vinegar, u should have added a little bit of baking soda to it too. Then the parts would have gotten a bit cleaner.

    • @nowayjerk8064

      soda neutralists acid how would that help to weaken the acid,100% not what you want to happen .

    • @jmm242
      @jmm242  ปีที่แล้ว +1

      The vinegar actually eats the rust very well but the parts had an old metal treatment called japanning on them. It is extremely resistant to abrasion and resists moisture. It was hard to tell originally but becuse it was gummed up but after I had no change over night I realized something else was on the metal. I tried everything to get it off so I had to eventually use physical methods.

      If u want something a little better then vinegar and u can use it over and over again for a while is Evaporust. That stuff is amazing and eats rust off like nothing a lot industrial guys use it and fabricators. Also a few big restoration guys on TH-cam who do like tools and old equipment. @@jmm242

    Steve, from Bedos leather could’ve really done this bag justice and restored it properly.
