Teşekkür ederim...

[@ricardopatricio5994]

hello from Portugal. i love your work. what kind / brand of zipper do you use in this project. thank you for sharing.

[@marshallbanks2295]

Thanks. Trying to get it all in antique brass is impossible. Only Etsy has the antique finished buckles and that takes 3-4 weeks to get.

[@oakleathercraft]

No problem. I understand but if you want you can swap double bar buckles for standard buckles.

[@jasonrogers1695]

I hate to bother you again with another question but would you be able to tell me where you purchased the zippers? I am having trouble finding one that is 1.5" wide. Thank you so much for your help.

[@arczipl9221]

Very Good

[@muhammadelmezayin3135]

This is cool man 😌

[@samus4799]

You should also sell hardware. Maybe make it an option, for extra.

[@FergsFunSpot]

Very nice!

[@oakleathercraft]

Thank you.

[@Jer0867]

Yet another stunning piece of work! Just curious...do you use any kind of thread-lock with those Chicago type screws? Cheers! 🙂👍

[@oakleathercraft]

Thanks Jer. Yes I'm using adhesive.

[@Jer0867]

@@oakleathercraft Thanks for the reply...and keep up the great work!

[@jasonrogers1695]

Awesome looking backpack...in the process of trying it myself. May I ask what size of Chicago screws you used? Thanks so much.

[@oakleathercraft]

Hello from Russia)! I want to do this backpack, but I'm not sure that straps are comfortable for wearing. How do you think?

[@RaphaelRousseau]

Hi, I bought your pattern on Etsy a few days ago; I plan making it at the end of next week with my 13 yo son (I mean, he'll make it and I'll give him a hand or advice when needed, I'm also responsible of translation, since we're French)... I wondered how you go the antique finish on the bag. It's probably not only a matter of dye itself. Did you use another finishing fluid or a technique to achieve it?

[@oakleathercraft]

Hello Raphael. Thank you very much for purchase in my etsy shop. Have a nice work :) Almost 3000 holes and lots of stitching waiting for you guys :) I aged leather by felt and candle. You can see it in 2:47. You can also find more about this technique here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/fITJp5uPgtCmrsk

[@RaphaelRousseau]

@@oakleathercraft, thanks for your reply, I must confess I haven't watched the entire video yet, since I'll watch it in its entirety next week with my son. I read your word about the number of holes and smiled, my son probably isn't aware of this and I will let him count the number of holes :-) Anyway my 2 other kids will also be leatherworking and will need my directions, mainly because they are younger (girl and boy, 11 yo twins). I had the bad surprise of discovering an accessory that I missed when reviewing the required hardware : square rings, I only ordered the rivets and buckles... I hope they will be delivered before the beginning of the assembly, but you're speaking about thousands of holes, so it will require more than one weekend... Cheers, thanks again for your pattern and directions!

[@gnroach]

i am planning to buy the pattern, but not sure whether I would need a lot of skiving to make the bag...

[@MelodyFerreira-qj2np]

Your work is amazing and inspiring! I would like that pattern is it free?

[@asastudios7782]

it's in the description and costs 15 bucks

[@atelierravich]

Dimensions are good to put laptop '17 inches inside?

[@ciceronteso774]

Hello from France Do you know the weight of the bag? Isn’t it too heavy with 2mm leather ? Thanks for your reply. Awesome patern btw

[@oakleathercraft]

Thanks Ciceron. I checked total weight of this backpack for you. Total weight of backpack from the video is 1.6 kg and in my oppinion this is standard weight for leather backpack.

[@marshallbanks3608]

Adam, in your hardware list you call for two double bar belt buckles but in some of the photos I see a regular belt buckle. Did you make a change that I missed? Thanks

[@oakleathercraft]

Hi Marshal. I used to 2 Double bar buckles 2.5 cm / 1'' not double prong buckles. You can see this buckle in 8:39.

[@marshallbanks2295]

My biggest question is approximately how many sq ft of leather is required? Love the back pack. Thank you!

[@oakleathercraft]

Thank you Marshall . To make this backpack you need approx 12 sq ft. of leather.

[@marshallbanks2295]

@@oakleathercraft thx for the quick response. I saw the necessary sq feet when I downloaded the pattern. I’ve done a couple of dieselpunkro’s laptop briefcases. They have about 2200 holes, so I am mentally prepared. Being retired affords me too much spare time. Thx again

[@anthonywitman9934]

Where did you get the zippers?

[@crazyindiabikerider6791]

Sir I am a student need this bag

[@nala1007]

Hi there I realy like your videos, I wanted to know: did you burnish the edges?

[@oakleathercraft]

Yes. Of course. I always burnish edges. In this video I didn't show you all steps becsuse this video tutorial how to make backpack from my patterns and this is most important for me but I alwas burnish edges in vegetable leather. Thanks.

[@nala1007]

Oak Leathercraft thank you for your answer. Do you, by any chance, plan to do a video about basic leatherworking?

[@oakleathercraft]

@@nala1007 Unfortunately no because I'm very busy. Many years ago I was watching Ian Atniksons videos. He is really good teacher. kzbin.info/door/LkCG-505-1t0rYlgBTSnpQ
