Hand Stitched Leather CAT Bucket

My Tool Bundle: imakeny.com/products/diresta-...
In this video I make a leather bucket bag and design as I make it. I often feel more comfortable designing on the go while I make it, letting the process answer the design problems. I did make sketches to develop some initial ideas. Go to www.weaverleathersupply.com to start your own project today!

100% watched the whole video because I wanted to see a cat in its very own leather carrying case. The craftsmanship here is outstanding. Thank you for sharing.

[@jimmydiresta]

Thank you!

[@censusgary]

Jimmy, your videos with your pets in them are irresistible.

[@dmaifred]

More cats Plz, I have missed Spike for many years. Big Thumbs up to Making It. Have been a P Supporter since Ep 4. (Prev posted wanting to see more cats, and here it is!)

[@dmaifred]

Man I was excited for or a second till I saw telegram as a link. I assume a fake Jimmy. No go cart track visit for me. :) Maybe it's the extra periods after the name or the capital J. Sigh.

[@mslucass]

You buy or create for $10000 worth of stuff and they will only take the cardboard container you get something in.

[@AgiHammerthief]

the trick was to use the cardboard box to make the template for the leather - no more box to prefer.

[@wgamertvwgtv9068]

Facts! I'm 19, from Birmingham, Alabama. When I was 12 I would build beds, forts, and such for my cats, and they would rather sleep on a news paper. 🤦☹

[@pyro323]

Jimmy can check this one off his bucket list!

[@Roadkillstew]

the cat sitting in it was the best. awesome show.

[@Yellow.Dog.]

Jimmy, you have a healthy look about you. What ever you are doing keep it up! Nice video, thanks, Bill

[@mamun_seo_specialist_pro]

Happy Valentine's Day❣❣ So Beautiful 👌👌

[@SeanFoushee]

Got called away while watching and came back to Jimmy making... Lincoln Logs??? Oh wait, they're handles. Great work, your hand cross stitching is really beautiful on this bag.

[@jungko9031]

Very cool! I think the bucket could use a pair of magnets on the wooden handles. This way the handles could stay closed if needed.

[@GIRAF92]

Wow, its as if you knew I went to the local leather shop YESTERDAY and bought my FIRST EVER pieces of leather, needles, waxed thread, and a punch. Sometimes things just make sense I guess 🤦‍♂️ Planned on making a tool bag/holster of sorts. This is amazing timing. Thanks Jimmy. Nice work by the way!

[@alanmooney3466]

Same! Uncanny timing really.

[@sarah-janegalipo3995]

Never heard of a cat bucket. It’s pretty sweet man. ❤

[@fordfan3179]

I'll absolutely use that handle design at some point. Very nice!

[@giovannipetitti1588]

beautiful work as always, give Spike a kiss for me, he too is part of the legend: Jimmy Diresta

[@frijoli9579]

Jimmy knows materials!

[@Andrea-bw8xm]

Yup...my cat caught me watching this...she wants one!😁

[@clementsmallengine4833]

I really like the way you drew the shape in the beginning! I'm stealing that idea in the future! 😎💪💪💪

[@paulnaiman8108]

Hell yeah,you can do it all! Keep up the good work. 🙂🙂🙂

[@patmash]

I’m sure them beautiful cats deserve that awesome carrier. Great build jimmy!

[@blacksquirrel4008]

My cat Zed bucket-trained me so I could carry him around. We would go rowing and I had to carry him down the dock past the fishermen and their dogs to our boat, reassuring the guys that, no it was not to be a one way trip for him. He’d retreat to it if he got too hot. He even taught me to catch him in it if he wanted to leave the house roof. Miss him every day.

[@stevenboyd593]

Your must have an extensive bucket list

[@Reelaxing]

Love the natural light shining on the bandsaw surface... comes in handy.

[@frankbusuttil2572]

I’ve been a fan since the brownstone bird house and you’ve inspired me to have a go at many,many things I hadn’t done before. This one is yet another beauty Jimmy. Thanks for sharing.

[@vinceianni4026]

Hello mister Jimmy Diresta beautifully done good job well done

[@MCsCreations]

Amazing, Jimmy! Really beautiful work! 😃 If the cats liked it, it's more than approved! Stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊

ДЖИММИ ДИРЕСТА - МАСТЕР, КОТОРЫЙ МОЖЕТ СДЕЛАТЬ ВСЁ☆☆☆☆☆

[@AJB2K3]

Wow amazing! I'm a surprised with how much work goes into joining leather together!

[@silvercastlecreationsllc]

You are an inspiration, Jimmy! I just picked up leather working recently and I’ll be uploading to my channel soon. I expect a lot of fails in the beginning but I suppose that’s the life of a maker. ❤️

[@fdort3971]

Not fails honey...lessons on what Not to do next time and prototype for working on future ideas...have fun! I recommend you invest on apolstery needles and a good pair of strong needle nose pliers...when sewing through strong or thick materials the pliers make it easier to push/pull the needles...wax your needles and keep them sharp.

[@davebauerart]

Love all the custom/improvised tools.

[@yellowmuginc]

Whoa the cat got lucky! 💚

[@sgsax]

Keep making these and you'll be able to start a line of handbags in your store. 😁 Looks great! Thanks for sharing!

[@ericpedersen2760]

So many awesome techniques. A masterclass in making 🙏

[@klintharder2155]

Jimmy finally gets a CAD system. Cardboard Aided Design.

[@justintasht1067]

Absolutely fantastic and great skills you have. I look forward to the videos and really enjoy them 👍👍

[@861LJ]

Love it! So many uses and will last a lifetime!!!

[@danthemakerman]

Nice looking tote! Love the wood handles, they really make the piece a standout!

[@sapelesteve]

Beautiful handcrafted work on that leather bag Jimmy! 👍👍👏👏

[@heyimamaker]

[@uzazi2043]

Renaissance Man!

[@essendonhennessey]

Love that work shop

[@alvvaysabel]

My cat approves this build

[@LilRaspy]

Some interesting techniques and clever solutions, even by your standards. I’ll be really interested for this one to drop on Patreon and hear you talk about the process.

[@moMo-gi4bs]

Always inspiring Jimmy From KSA with love ❤️

[@dmitriys.3412]

[@josejulianrealgiraldo3185]

[@saginawdan]

Thanks Jimmy! 👍😎👍

[@Visible.Friend]

Your show makes my day, Jimmy! I guess you were off to make a second one then you can tote a cat in each hand, hehe Thanks for taking us through the process step-by-step. That bag is gonna last forever. I really like the handles, simple & stylish hUgz from Ohio, Lee

[@viorsa8200]

Espectacular trabajó maestro, gracias por compartir sus conocimientos y experiencias, un saludo cordial y por supuesto un merecido like desde Narón (Galicia)🔝🤓😜

[@TheKaffeeKlatsch]

Army has canvas stitching kits at many surplus stores. My carpenters kit has the large needles and the leather hand strap used to push the needles through heavy materials.

[@LKS-1976]

Very cool brother

[@digitaIgorilla]

My cat says I need to make him one. 😻 "Grow opposable thumbs and make your own" 🙀

[@idontthinkso666]

Cats! I love the cats!

[@jamescole1786]

2/12/23; great leather crafting 2day! ...but did not see little 😺 kittens snuggling up inside! ...Well, could always use this mighty fine bag to transport special beverages to/from your Mardi Gras parade or 🎉 party, aye?👍👍👍😊

[@zirconia21]

Jimmy's slowly turning into a cat lady, and I'm here for it.

[@raffaelecreations]

Video molto bello complimenti 😊

[@jamaalaljebrni9134]

Very very nice

[@Massimo68ac]

💜💜😍😍Cat end job

[@BlackRiverRoyal]

Shrek is working for diresta : )

[@brianknowles7130]

Great build. Love your improvisation in getting something of an unusual shape made. Could be a best seller eh .. and give Gucci a run for the money ..lol

[@joeduffy9764]

Brilliant

[@mitchboyd5353]

Nice catsket.

[@tomasb1806]

Jimmy diresta il numero 1 🤙🤙🤙🤙

[@lindysmith13]

so cute

[@10000rambos]

That’s a nice square

[@ericbaker318]

Spike would have loved it!

[@Fusilier0]

I love the way you used the square and a sharpie to mark a consistent height around the template. I still miss Spike.

[@brianewhiteguy]

You could really use some Diresta thimbles :) . Great work as always!!

[@nosferatu49426]

Very cool. 🙂

[@kaycox19]

Awesome

[@twan923]

The Rule of Cat states: If I fits, I sits. They're gonna love that!

[@darrinswanson]

@jimmydiresta Fantastic new build! Do you think you could speed production and give it an old school feel with leather drive belt staple binding? Perhaps replacing the steel rod that would usually bind the end with braided steel ropes?

[@DaBuild]

Now I need to build one for my cat 🙀🙀🙀

[@jomercer21113]

My cat has just witnessed proof of my inadequacy as a servant to him.

[@ALPHASASYLUM]

Excellent work Mr. Diresta. I am curious though why you did not stain the bottom exterior for better protection.

[@bentationfunkiloglio]

I love the bag! ... not sure how your cat feels about it. Haha! Cheers.

[@fluppir]

Awesome Jimmy! Hey, where’s Spike? Stull around? Been lovin’ your vids for a longs time, keep em coming! Hi from sunny SA😅

[@paulnaiman8108]

That's better than coach!!!

[@tomim7187]

I'd buy that! What a great carry-all. Tools to knitting to groceries. Iteration 1 is great... what is in store for iterations 2-10?!

[@6justin9]

I found the broom and dustpan!!

[@crabmansteve6844]

There is a guy on a homestead in WV thats been putting his cat in a bucket every day. Nate from NarroWay Homestead! Cat had a tail injury from a coyote and hes been getting put in a bucket of warm water and epsom.

[@xw6968]

would a total boat farnish work on leather ( like inside )...? Inspiring one, gone try to make it.

[@suzisaintjames]

13:15 always coat the bottom to protect it from the elements when you set it down. 💖🌞🌵😷

[@OriginalMomo]

“Cat bucket” definitely made me do a double take lol
