Making a Leather Dopp Kit (Shaving Kit)
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 20 ก.ย. 2018
- In this video we make a Dopp Kit (Shaving Kit) out of leather using the Maker's Leather Supply template. This shave kit is fun to make and though it looks intimidating, it is fairly easy to make too! These make awesome gifts or items to sell because dudes are usually hard to shop for, but almost all of them have a shaving kit (even those of us that don't shave)
Materials used for this project: about 2.5 sf of pliable leather (4-6 oz works best) and a few strips of more rigid leather such as Veg Tan or English Bridle (4-5oz). We also used a 17" Jacket Zipper
In this video we used shrunken bull hide and Tan English Bridle. We also lined the inside with bandana print fabric found at almost any fabric store.
Tools used: Knife, cutting surface, double sided tape, 3M Super 77 Spray Adhesive, Thread, needles, and a sewing Awl. AND THE MAKER'S LEATHER SUPPLY TEMPLATE PATTERN (not NEEDED but it makes the job easier and more consistent).
As always, if you have any questions, feel free to ask!
Open carrying, Vet, leather craftsman. Take my money, sir. And thank you for your service!
I love that you take the entire time to do these videos because then I can do it WITH you. In real time. And you give random piecies of knowledge usually while you're doing something tedious, so it's just bonus! Thank you for the videos, they're awesome!
"16 years and I haven't bought a dadgum piece of glass yet" - this is why I love your videos. 😆
Please don't start fast forwarding. It's so nice to see someone struggling with the same sort of problems that we do. One thing though, strictly speaking it wasn't saddle stitch, it was pass stitching as you didn't loop the thread and make the knot. No rebukes for that though, I find your vids so soothing.
An incredible instructor. Love the acrylic pattern templates. Thanks!!!
Thank you for posting this. I really appreciate the long format and all the detail!
3 years later and i found this gem. Thank you for the amazing tutorial!!!!
It's funny you mentioned the way you hold your rotary cutter cause it was like angels were singing and the lights were shining when I did it that way instead of "how you are supposed to hold it". Great videos.
Thank you so much for this video! I’ve been wanting to make one and it didn’t click until you laid it all out there. Awesome!
Excellent video. Appreciate you making these videos. You make leather fun.
Excellent instructor. Love the acrylic pattern templates!!!! Thanks!!!!!
Thank you Aron for another great tutorial video
i have bought SEVERAL templates from Maker's Leather Supply and plan to buy A LOT more in the near future. these templates are amazing and the instruction that can be found here is so in depth and detailed there isnt really a way to fail these projects if you follow these tips and tricks and be careful when using your tools. i have to say Aaron you have my buisness for the foreseeable future :) EXTREMELY HAPPY CUSTOMER HERE
Thanks Aaron for another great video. All your TH-cam content is detailed, comprehensive and engaging!
Wow thanks for your time and expertise, great job LMJ😊
Great job, Aaron! I’ve sewn and worked with leather since I was 11 and know it’s difficult to describe step by step directions to folks who don’t sew. Fabric and leather are so different. You have to be able to envision how things flip around and may seem the opposite of what the finished product will actually look like. Awesome!
A long video but well worth it. I can really appreciate that you didn't fast forward through the key points of construction. I also appreciate the fact that you are willing to show that even professionals struggle a bit with some of their projects. I'm only just beginning, but this gives me heart to keep going with my new hobby.
Also, any time you have a question... just ask it.
Wow, that was great to see. Thank you! You are the BEST!
This is such a great project. Your templets are awesome. Thank you for taking the time to make and share them. You have an inspirational business and i'm so grateful you've taken the time to make videos to go with them. I own a community craft space and I will be suggesting you and your products to all my members who are getting into leather work. Keep up the amazing work!
Thanks for the encouragement! Where is your craft space located?
A JIGSAW PUZZLE. Oh my gosh. Now THAT is innovating, my guy. Awesome!
Awesome Bag... Thanks for showing us how to make it... it does seem a bit easier than I first envisioned... but then everything you show here seems easy... lol
Thanks. I just finished my first bag and it came out great. I'll be making a few more for Christmas presents for sure.
Well done Aaron, made two yesterday , if you don't use the same size zipper you must adjust or the first sewing will be off. caught it before I sewed my zippers to the body. that helped!
I ordered this pattern about 2 months ago along with just about every other pattern you have lol. With Christmas, other patterns, and work I'm finally finding time to make this one. I travel for work so I have to wait 8 days till I can make it but it gives me time to watch and get comfortable with the process. Also gives me a reason to stop by Tandy's on the way home from the airport for supplies lol. Excellent video as always. Keep it up.
Great video. Thinking I’m going to make one for my sons.
Great video! Thank for all the information.
This was extremely helpful!
Made it and came out perfect and better than expected, HOWEVER, I won't make another one like it without a sewing machine :-( Measurements were all good along with your advice, but my hands took a beating hand stitching this. I even used an awl and pliers on the especially thick parts. The plexiglass pattern was great too. Thanks.
Cheers bloke, bought the template from the crew in Hobart just the other day. Got some nice purple croc-embossed kangaroo veg that I'm using it with it. Excellent work with the puzzle concept too!
Was making a pattern when I stumbled upon you! Great!
Where did you get your tape? Looking for a larger roll like you appear to have. I have subscribed to your feed. Good stuff.
very very nice , good job ! 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
another great video. i purchased this template and cant wait to give it a try. i will be hand sewing the project, so it looks like i might be in for some fun. lol. thank you for another great video
Great tutorial, and I didn't FF. I've made three now and looking forward to #4.
definitely gonna be my next template purchase.
Awesome template
Vanessie Great Video, I LUVIT. Now I can make the Shaving Kits for all of the guys in my family. Thank you for taking your time to explain EVERYTHING!
Brought the pattern and made the bag a 4 days. I would definitely be ordering from him again.
Great video Aaron!!
Told you the liner was too easy!
genius idea
Recommendation for lining leathers. I've found that HeatnBond Ultrahold works really well and is clean to work with. The only consideration is that it adds some rigidity to the final product.
Thanks. I'll try some out
Great!!!!
Great job fun to watch LMJ
FYI if you rub the zipper with graphite(aka pencil lead) it will open smooth it only works on metal zippers not the plastic kind.Great tutorial!Love this shave bag!!!Thanks so much!
Thanks so much for the tip!
I do not have a sewing machine and I used a rotary punch for in the inside. Maybe someone already gave this advice, but in case not it made those inside corners super quick! It’s not a perfect stitch line, but it doesn’t have to be if nobody can see it. :)
Great video !!! Can't wait to make one!
I love love love this template! Have you even thought about putting sewing/punching holes on the template for people that do not have a machine? That way people can decide if they want to hand sew or machine sew. It would be especially helpful on this pattern in the spot where you did your hand sewing. I cannot get my awl to punch all the layers and so I used a small punch to make the holes to make it easier to line up and sew. Just a thought. Love it and have made several.
Aaron uses a stitch wheel to mark where the stitch holes need to be. Since I can’t guide a stitch wheel in a straight line to save my life I use my pricking irons and press down by hand to mark where I need to punch the holes with my awl. Hope this helps ^^
Bravooooo🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉❤❤❤
what are the mesurments of your finished bag? mine turned out 11inches long and 4 1/2 wide..seems long to me.thank you
Carry on, carry often (carry always) (Cheers!)
Bravo
do you sell the finished product on your site? I couldn't find where it was available...
New to leather work. Like what you have done. What kind of sewing machine and accessories should I buy to work with leather as shown that is tough to sew? Great job
You are good.
What are the final measurements of this bag once completed?
Can you pale it one piece for in store pickup? I find it hard to work with
Hi Aaron! Any suggestions for when the "double sided sticky tape" wont stick to the exterior of the bag (using an Oil Tan Utility Side)? Got the zipper sewn to the strips (sticks to the flesh side), but a total blow out when I tried to add the zipper piece to the body. Ack!
Well, after being a tiny bit more successful with glue, I was watching another video from a friend of your I heard...don’t use oil tan leather because you won’t get the pieces to stick together! LOL! I know what he means now! Anyway, I got it to come out great! Thanks! BTW, the Tandy packaging calls for 1” and your template calls for 3/4” along zipper....
What are the dimensions for the finished bag?
Hi, I'm Mexican. I like working in leather. How can I buy the necessary tools to start my hobby?
Use the extra bandana material and make blood knot zipper pulls as accent pieces
I have made a few bags from this video using a Consew 206 RB. You make it very easy to follow every step in the bag making. Thanks!! If you were hand stitching, what would you use to punch? Thread?
I normally use .8mm thread at 7 or 8 stitches per inch. I use the pricking irons we sell
Hello! I am new to your videos. Thank you for your service! I like your Dopp kit! I have known how to sew for all of my life as my Mother owned a sewing factory. I have to hold my rotary cutter differently when cutting leather or HD Military grade fabric. I use that fabric to make tool bags. I also machine embroidery them and set double slide zippers. It is easier to open from the middle to remove long tools. I put my handle just below the seam; and I clip the corners (just a bit) before I turn them. When I sew my sides I lay the seam in the direction that the zipper is already going. I suspect that by now you may be doing the same. By laying the zipper towards the bottom, the outside seam will lay flat. But HEY!!!! You and the puppy did a great job! How else do we learn but from experience?!?!? Thank you so much. Oh, DG Saddlery is a very gifted soul! He makes pattern creation look easy! I have learned from him! I especially like your quilted look tooling and the use of straight lines! Not often are we taught applications for straight lines. Thank you again. Take care. Best to you and yours. Blessings and Re Jouir -Darlene (& Scott)
I’m using vinyl and cotton fabric can I sew the ends with my Thor 1541S industrial sewing machine?
I'm not familiar with this machine, but it won't hurt to cut the same number of layers from scrap and try sewing it up.
another awesome video, do you take requests? Loving that Commissioners bag!
can you tell me what size needle do you use on your machine:..thankyou
Size 20
What are the dimensions for the template
If we don’t yet have them template you said it can still be made without it. But you didn’t say the size of the body piece or what the box corner dimensions are. Can you please post those?
What are the final dimensions of the kit?
Thanks for the awesome instruction video! I would like to send you my finished product?
I am going to make it in Regzine as mine won’t do leather .
I didn’t see shrunken bull hide on your website. Do you have a recommendation for a replacement leather (hopefully one I can buy by the square foot - and if so, how many square feet?)
We lost our supplier for the shrunken bullhide. I recommend the Windsor collection, Belfast collection, cowboy, legacy ranch, and especially the pebble grain crazy horse. I like leather with texture more than smooth leathers for this project.
Where did you get your maker's mark made?
Greg Turner, Turner Laserworks, Rockwall, TX
Please list a great affordable way someone can get their makers mark done
Call Greg Turner at Turner Laserworks. He is on Instagram and Facebook.
I won't to buy the template for the saving kit what do I do
Www.makersleathersupply.com
Can you recommend needle size and thread size for this project and other bags on a Cobra Class 26?
I use a size 21 needle with 138 thread. If the leather is a little thicker or more dense, a size 22 needle might be better.
Thanks!
Any tips on getting the fabric not to fray, especially along the zipper? I don't so much care about the other ends but every time I have tried to make this bag, the fabric frays all over the place and gets caught in the zipper. TIA
@@antonioabitabile2862 fold it under before sewing it to the leather.
@@makersleathersupply1220 Thanks. Just need to remember to cut the fabric and inch or so longer than the leather
I just ordered the template
Awesome! Unfortunately our crew has the whole holiday weekend off or we'd have it in the mail today. It will ship Monday.
@@makersleathersupply1220 no worries "Happy New Year"
How would you make this bag longer?
Simply by making the pattern longer.
Do you sell the template as an pdf or svg file
No sir, not on this model.
I recommend ironing your liner first 😉
Dude!!.. Where’s the link to the template?... I just ran into this vid... I have 3 boys I want to make this for.
makersleathersupply.com/products/dopp-kit-shaving-kit-template-set?_pos=1&_sid=8626a2f97&_ss=r
I made a Dopp kit for all of my sons and a brother out of waxed canvas and leather. No template. Will definitely get a pattern!
Your a good teacher shit happens and you don’t edit that part out 👍
Great video! Isnt your cutting matt made for cutting? 🙂
I only use a rotary cutter or scalpel on the mats.
@@makersleathersupply1220 thank you for the reply
May I ask what number zipper you are using? Thanks!
#5 on almost all my projects.
@@makersleathersupply1220 - Thank you!
Your rotary cutting is scary. As a seamstress and quilter I was yelling at you to be careful. Love your templates. Made 2 of your billfold wallets and now working on the passport holder. Do you make custom templates for customers?
He’s a damn man!
@@johnarms9680 being a damn man has nothing to do with it. I know many men that can use a rotary cutter right. If a person man or woman doesn't use one every day then it will be used wrong. The rotary cutter is something you have to get used to. It's called a learning curve. Just like the scaple it took practice to learn how to use it right.
Cuts heal
Do you sell templates?
Yes. Www.makersleathersupply.com
Thought that was a gator on the floor when he panned over to the sewing machine
Aaron, are you using a zipper foot?
Hi Jay, I actually didn't even know such a thing existed. I'll have to look for one and see what it does.
@@makersleathersupply1220 I Love it! :)
Morning to
I always have my gin on my hip too lol.
Can you tell me why the hand stitching is done with waxed thread and machine stitching thread is not waxed? I understand you can’t use wax thread on a machine. If unwaxed thread is ok on machine sewing why can’t you use it with hand stitching?
Hi Rebecca, the wax serves to preserve the thread. When hand stitching you a re pulling all the thread through each hole you go through. If not for the wax you might prematurely fray and wear your thread out. Machines only pull a bit through each hole.
Hello
