Leather Saddlebag Shoulder Bags

[@jackiemitchell4418]

I smiled the video. I truly enjoy watching Chuck's skill, self-analysis and his results. Bravo to Weaver for sponsoring this video. It makes me want to go out of my way to buy my supplies and tools from Weaver more. THANK YOU, ALL!

[@maddawgnoll]

We need more full build projects with Chuck.

[@micaelavelasquez12]

I saw the picture for this and thought YES!!!! Another topic I have been interested in. I’m gonna wait to watch it when im more awake. Thanks Chuck for sharing your knowledge.

[@wendyblakely5784]

My dream list is getting longer on all the awesome items I plan on making. Awesome

[@richardkatzman1215]

Chuck, I remember the first time you made that design and you said you would really need to find a place to use it. Congratulations, you finally found the perfect place for it. It was beautiful then and beautiful now. Yes the silver spot really made it pop. Great project. I think it should have been larger. Best regards, Richard

Awesome craftsmanship Chuck!

[@paulregner5335]

A most excellent project! Thank you Chuck, and thank you Weaver.

[@sittingduck7273]

Chuck if absolutely love to make these (or anything really) out of leather you are truly talented and I wish I could get into this

[@johnbrogan6583]

this was time well spent, even if he put the antique finish on!

[@dperisty1]

I've been waiting forever for a video like this, thanks! ! !

[@WillbanksHeight]

I bought the Lalage Beaumont Fontyn in medium tan last week at kislux and since receiving it I have been using it and neglecting my designer collection (honeymoon period maybe) , but I was really impressed with the quality and timing, right down to how they used it. Will wear it. I wish they would make this bag in a variety of pinks (i. e. sakura pink). There are actually many options to choose from.

[@VeganSmasher]

Beautiful work, Chuck. I learned some new techniques from this video. Thank you!

[@WeaverLeatherSupply]

Thank you!

[@Freeman-Dl70]

Well, here's yet another project I'll be making. This thing turned out beautifully.

[@WeaverLeatherSupply]

Thank you, let us know how they turn out!

[@spiritfox2026]

Amazing project and video.

Love the the way of the craft❤

I love this!!! Thank you for sharing.

[@Jason-un3bx]

Chuck is awesome. Thanks

[@alb673]

Very nice video Chuck, always a great energy. One question, why flat chisels, and not diamond? I though flats where for lacing. Thanks

[@user-jo5fz8iw3b]

Thank you Ladies

Back in 1992 i looked at a regular sized motorcycle saddle bag pattern and de sized it to make saddle bag key ring. I had i beam shaped base for motorcycke type n the c shape base for horse type keyrings.

[@WeaverLeatherSupply]

That’s awesome, great idea!

[@janjoska2549]

I heard that someone is using ethanol to soak the leather, that having an advantage of drying incomparably faster

[@David35445]

We need placement holes for the Chicago screws on the shoulder piece in the digital pics, also the gussets come up about an inch short. And I counted holes. 22 inches isn't right. Messed up my last bits of 4/5 ounce leather. Normally your patterns are fairly spot on, but dang.

[@WeaverLeatherSupply]

We checked with Chuck and both the practice piece and the bags made in the video are 22" long on the gusset so we apologize that this did not work out for you. You can always cut the gusset a little bit longer and then adjust once you've marked your stich holes. This will ensure the perfect fit.

[@David35445]

@@WeaverLeatherSupply y new ones cut at 22.75 inches worked out perfectly. Could be the difference between herma oak and the crap I have to use, lol.

[@bobm8128]

My 22” gusset came up short as well, guess I’ll have to cut a couple of new ones a bit longer. I just took a soft tape measure around the front pocket and came up with 22.75 as well. I may go with 23 then cut off what I don’t need. Thanks for posting, now I know I’m not totally crazy…..

[@markonious]

Yeah me too. Luckily I was measuring the pattern when I discovered this and came to the comments to figure out if I was going crazy. lol.

[@davidmcguinness9187]

Thanks for the video

What is the best way to sharpen an oblong punch??

[@jenniferbauman4802]

Great video. Cool. God bless. From Glenn CATT. In Massachusetts.

[@WeaverLeatherSupply]

Thanks for watching!

[@stefan_ok]

Hello! I always see your videos on KZbin! I have a question for you. I am making a wet molded leather sheath for mi knife, and I am following the tutorial in your videos. But I also want to add a pattern design. Should I make the pattern before the wet molding? I am afraid that the molding will ruin the pattern. Thank you!

[@alaskankare]

i love you chuck, but saying "going up to the 3rd punch" on the rotary tool doesnt help those of us without a rotary and having single punches. ❤

[@donlapham1265]

That’s about 3/16 since the second punch on a rotary is 1/8.

[@jakeyjakey4018]

lol my cheap 5$ lifetime warranty revolving hole punch from menards has its third punch shatter on me.. broken again😩😅 i keep getting new ones for free but sometimes you cant use one of the punches because they are so bad from the factory.. its probably time i upgrade at weaver

[@donlapham1265]

@@jakeyjakey4018 Theirs is fantastic and the tubes are replaceable.

[@norbertom.perrichon6630]

Gracias Chuck, hermosa alforja. Tu trabajo es excelente. Saludos de Argentina.

[@Godofantz]

I was literally just starting a saddle bag project

[@meirdeaph]

👍

[@JohnTBlock]

The only fault in this design, is I'd use brass or copper rivets and burrs, for a permanent mounting of bag to yoke...Chicago screws seem too modern for a piece like this. They also can get loose, even when glued....

[@JohnsonCreekLeather]

Hey Chuck, what's the best way to contact you if we have questions about leather?

[@WeaverLeatherSupply]

Email [e-mail] and we will make sure they get to Chuck!

[@JohnsonCreekLeather]

@@WeaverLeatherSupply thank you

[@DakotaSioux-f2b]

Like very much

[@Suit_and_tie_reptile_guy]

The other guy is cool and all, but if Chuck is doing the project, I'm immediately clicking on it. Plus when chuck does a video it makes me wanna buy more stuff from Weaver

[@yoheff988]

This deep dyeing is waste of dye, don't understand why the inside have to be dyed.
