Large Travel Bag full build - Part 1

[@rudylong8202]

I hope this gives people more appreciation for the amount of time and work that goes into hand crafting leather goods. A lot of people don't have any idea.

[@DieselpunkRo]

you are so correct!

[@reginafranklin9659]

I feel that way for sewing/knitting/macrame in general.

[@craftyasNZer]

agree

[@matthewbutcher5295]

This will be really helpful to beginners to see the full process for edge treatments etc. when I started the patterns make it easier but all the extra stuff to get a polished result took a little more research and practice. Looking forward to seeing part 2

[@DieselpunkRo]

thank you Matt

[@BobRoss-Smith]

love this video, helps show its not a fast process. also loving how nearly all your videos shows something different, a new tool or different technique, i like the iron on bonding sheet, seems to be a lot better and less messy than the glue method. cant wait to get this pattern and annoy the neighbours with the hundreds of hand hammered hole punched holes.

[@DieselpunkRo]

Thanks so much!

[@donlapham1265]

I don't think I've seen a build along outside of lives, thanks for this Tony!

[@DieselpunkRo]

More to come!

[@h82rn]

It reminds me of the build-along of the explorer backpack which was my first project with you and why I am a subscriber. Thank you.

[@DieselpunkRo]

its sort of the same, you are right

[@dianakreider4588]

Heat set adhesives work better if you place the iron down and hold pressure and then pick up and move a few inches over and press again. Rubbing back and forth doesn’t give the best adhesion. A heat press would be even better.

[@DieselpunkRo]

thank you for that

Realy cool bag. Are there any sizes of the completed bag?

Hi there Mr. T Whos playing that beautiful music.

What did you line it with?

[@davidmcguinness9187]

Thanks for the video

[@DieselpunkRo]

Our pleasure!

[@Lilgyrlie1]

Tony is this large travel bag around the same size as the original large weekender bag? And what is the material use cut @ 3:03 and ironed on, and where can I get it from?

[@DieselpunkRo]

same size but different construction. What material you refer to?

[@sydneyangell]

HI Tony - what type of canvas are you using for your lining? Been trying to master that lately and think I might be using something too heavy. Also, any other lining insight would be very welcome. Keen to take my projects to the next level. Is there a leather that works well?

[@ГригорийБеляков-к6ж]

Присоединяюсь к вопросу

[@DieselpunkRo]

this is the canvas I used: amzn.to/3LoeQh6

[@corrinajwilliams]

Is this one of the free patterns

[@williamrainey5279]

What was the iron on base layer between the lining and the leather?

[@DieselpunkRo]

what iron?

[@williamrainey5279]

@@DieselpunkRo The electric iron you are using to apply heat to the white layer between the leather and the lining at 8:26 of the video. What is the white layer between the lining and the leather?

[@vboucle]

@@DieselpunkRoi guess they mean the adhesive you used to stick the canvas to the glue. I also had the same question - I tried several options that were available in my area, but ultimately the canvas got unstuck when I turned the bag from the inside out. Perhaps, you have any suggestions which product to use. Also, I had an issue with the canvas itself. After it is cut, the edge becomes ragged and threads come out. I really struggled with it and had to use a separate edge tape to cover the rough edge. Could you please share any info how to avoid that or maybe you have any other options for lining? You have very neat edges and I have no idea how to do it myself. Btw out of all the patterns I bought from you this was by far the hardest (it took me well over 80 hours with glueing several times and applying tape to the edges) but the most satisfying (apart from almost-round bag, perhaps, but that was my first project, so the most exciting one 😅)

[@buddygoodlet1112]

What's the weight on that mallet, Thor...?

[@DieselpunkRo]

approx 400 grams

[@buddygoodlet1112]

About like mine, then...you make it look effortless while I feel like I'm trying to pound a stake through Dracula's heart.

[@shogashogunai]

I wish this was the complete build, and I wish you had put some text on the screen to explain why you're doing what you're doing. That would've earned you a sub from me.

[@DieselpunkRo]

working on this project as we speak and I will post all the updates till finished
