How We Make the Scout Plein Air Pochade Box in our Philadelphia Workshop | Peg and Awl

[@blessedandbiwithahintofmagic]

One of the coolest pochade boxes I've ever seen - a scout bag made into a pochade box, fantastic - I never even considered making a little backpack, attached to the box even!

Omg so beautiful, if I had the equipment this is what I would be doing. You have such serious talent.

Beautiful - a work of art in itself. Thank you for sharing the process, seeing how much care you take into making each one is wonderful.

Weird thing to note, but one of the people sewing has really cool nails :') 2:38

Tori is sewing - she took the nails off when we finished the video:)

Aww, I was going to buy one of these & one of the artist rolls as well. To show off on my main channel, until I saw this. I have many because these days truth seems to be offensive to people. Anyway, when I saw it was machine stitched it broke my heart. For the price I had always assumed it was hand stitched. Which makes a massively huge huge difference. Machine stitched means stiffer joining which leads to breakage at the seems. No matter what one does to combat this the leather will always remain stiff until it breaks. Hands stitching can be just as tight but always remains soft, playable. Therefore softer, less likely to break at a seem and a longer lasting product. This is why those whom know always prefer a handmade quilt over one made with the aid of a sewing machine and why quality leather products that need to last, saddles, saddle bags, etc are hand sewn. Because machine stitched leather will not hold up to the test of time. One could buy that box, put it in a closet and never use it, but the seems will still rip. Edit: with all that said I still love the design of the product. I love that it is an independent business. I wish them all the success in the world. I'm just not willing to spend full price too find out how long that'll last on the shelf compared to everyday use. With everyday use of give it 6 months, no more than a year before the seems rip.

😂 Phillip, are your shoes hand stitched? 👞 👞? It's not how the leather is stitched, it's the quality of the leather. I'm a leather crafter, and I know stuff. Cheers.😊

Does anyone know what the inside dimensions are for the drawers?

[@edwardfletcher7790]

You could save some of that expensive leather & cut out time by patterning it onto a single sheet for the Epilog👍 Off cuts would make excellent keyfobs and keybars.
