Amazon Links, They don't cost you any extra but i get a small kickback for the sales traffic. helps support the channel.
Small tube of Barge Cement, makes stitching a breeze:

Corner chisel set, similar to what i use, you will need to sharpen them, some of them are not sharp enough out of the box to cut well:

Bone Folder, for all kinds of things but for opening the pockets after sewing:

Dead blow hammer, great for punching and also tooling, it doesn't bounce like a hard plastic hammer. Glue a piece of heavy leather to one side with barge to have a non marring side:

Perfect. Love LOTR Gandalf vs Balrog playing in the background 😂

[@maxasaurus3008]

Love that game.

[@MMakes333]

I love that lotr is just playing in the background, it makes the video all that much better

[@darklakeforge3300]

Haha I'm a bit of a nerd for lotr and so the movies are on quite frequently 😊 thanks for watching!

[@adlerdec2425]

man is casually enjoying the fellowship in the backround

[@JunkieVirus]

for a second it looked like a hippo! love the end result though!

[@heddita1]

Feels soft to the touch…loving it. Thank you so much for sharing…❤️❤️❤️

[@archiem6323]

I make leather pouches. Great job. I like that look.😀

[@jennytabima8514]

Hermoso trabajo muy concentrado eso es bueno .lindo bolsito, hermoso . Gracias desde Cali valle Colombia 🇨🇴👍

[@pB-vp3mo]

Very good job! I use a pricking iron on my stitching holes. the drawback is I have to count the number of holes on the front and back to stitch the gusset in. I have used a fold over belt loop, but I may start using the flat style. If you use the fold over positioning, stitching the first row and then folding it over is easy to get it wrong. I have been playing with leather since the 70's. Your pouch is excellent. That should last someone almost a lifetime. I look forward to seeing some of your other work.

[@darklakeforge3300]

Thank you 🙏 yeah I never can get them lined up great if I don't go hole by hole with the iron. Someday I'll be good enough to make a pattern I can punch and it'll line up ✌️ thanks for stopping by -Sam

Pretty thanks you

It the LotR background that did it for me.

[@Freebird-uo4jb]

Very beautiful & such a great video! Keep up the good work. :) I’d personally love a pdf pattern to try my best to make this myself.

[@darklakeforge3300]

I'll start working on the PDF pattern soon!

This is WAAAAAAY neater looking than the one I’ve made and just posted a video of! 😂

[@GreenHearthHomestead]

Also LOTR in the background 👌🏼👌🏼

[@darklakeforge3300]

Very nice haha!

[@earlelzy9975]

I made this belt pouch but I need to make it again because I modified the gusset with vegetable tan leather.

[@filipbuskovic3373]

When you finish your work you should make playback on 1.

[@angryagain68]

Bump it up about 50% larger and it would be a great sporran.

[@darklakeforge3300]

Great idea! 🙌

[@oliverpauly9298]

Hello, I liked your work. I wanted to ask where you found this big lether pieceand how expensive it was.

[@darklakeforge3300]

Hey Oliver, i found this leather at Tandy leather company, it's called oil tanned Kodiak. and i believe i paid about 80 dollars for a fairly large piece of it.

[@richhoule3462]

Pattern? Anyway I can get one? Looks awesome

Just followed you because of this video! Any chance that we could get the pattern you use? You could sell it on your Etsy shop, hehe

I will have to look into how to do that I'm sure I could get it on there thanks for watching and the comment! Have a wonderful day!

@@darklakeforge3300 Amazing! Thank you so much

[@sasker1000]

Beautifully made! How thick is the leather you are using?

[@darklakeforge3300]

I used some 5-6oz oil tanned Kodiak from Tandy. And thanks! 🙌

[@sasker1000]

@@darklakeforge3300 I see, thanks! Just another question: is there a reason why you stitched the back panel and the lid together, instead of making it from one piece?

[@darklakeforge3300]

@@sasker1000 you know i think the reason was i was using some scrap pieces from when i made a run of wallets so i wouldn't use a lot of the hide i have. It would be easier and probably be nicer to use a single piece though. when i create the pattern for download i will probably include the pattern for both ways of doing it. it will save some steps and sewing for anyone who has a big enough piece of leather.

[@sasker1000]

@@darklakeforge3300 That makes sense. I am going to make something similar as my first ever leather project. Your video is a great inspiration to get started. Thanks for sharing!

Hey mate just wondering how measured out your templates?

I actually just drew up a pattern based off some images and one trial bag I made of scrap. I'll see if I can create a pdf pattern and get a link up.
