Making a 'Deluxe' Tooled Leather Shot Pouch Bag for Black Powder Leather Working ASMR

Long-time viewers have seen me make one of these small possibles bag previously. However, this is the deluxe "tooled & jeweled" version. Made to hold the lead balls and a percussion cap tin for black powder / muzzeloading shooters. The rounded bottom makes getting those last balls out easy.
Stamps used in this video:
NS Stamps #295
Hidecrafters PU017
Laser is an xTool P2
Below is a link for saving a few bucks purchasing a P2 direct from xTool. I was given this code to pass on to my viewers when I first received the the laser. Hopefully it still works:

Mind-blowing work love you from INDIA

[@2rueblue]

So far you are the only person I've seen casing the leather using saddle soap and in a zip-lock bag, I have watched every show you have done so I know you were shown that way when you were a scout. As a total novice, I'm looking at things with fresh eyes so if you don't mind I will share what I've picked up on. As I said I am right at the beginning of this journey so I'm still only making patterns for bags and wallets. Not a huge call for holsters over here in Scotland. From what I've seen so far the saddle soap looks like it's lubricating the leather, probably not the proper term but don't shoot me, please. You are working with leather much thicker than what I will be using so will it still allow me to tool the leather, obviously not to your standard but would your process make the leather overly soft and mushy say if I was using a thinner piece of leather? I love the way your work takes colour and you don't have to beat the siht out of it when you are tooling it and the way the swivel knife glides when you are lining out a pattern. Most of all the others I've seen only use water and I am In no position to critique some master craftsmen's work but it looks like they do have to batter the tools into the piece they are working on. I feel your leather looks more plump than the others and I am attributing that to the saddle soap. Anyway I have said enough tonight so thank you for sharing your craft with us and all the very best from Scotland

[@marcthomas2482]

Beautiful work as always! @22:02 you have to pat that rivet and say "that ain't going nowhere". 😁😁

[@RoadAgentLeather]

Thanks! There was a tiny hole drilled through that decorative belt tip that was too small for any of my rivets. Not sure what supposed to go there ... but it's obviously for permanently fasting it. So I had to enlarge it.

[@edgell3]

Their should have been a small screw that would secure the belt tip, but, I like your way much better. It completes rivets and the project. I like the way you video the build. Showing the highlights and the compete process, not getting stuck on one thing such as sewing. I hate it when someone has a twenty minute video with fifteen minutes spent on sewing up the project. A Big Thank You for that.

[@kcg3927]

Beautiful work & craftsmanship as always! Question/suggestion, could you program your lazer cutter to cut the holes for your diamond studs? I like the way you did it tho..!

[@RoadAgentLeather]

Thanks! If I could figure out the pattern, sure. You can even pre-cut all your stitch holes.

[@kcg3927]

Lol... i understand, didn't know if you had thought about it. I thought you did your stitch holes at first. I'm not a fan of the round stitch holes... But you ran that cool rivet line.. 👍🏽👍🏽

[@tfildaed]

When saddle soaping before tooling, do you ever rinse to remove the saddle soap?

[@RoadAgentLeather]

Nope. The soap is what lubricates the leather fibers to give better stamp impressions.

Thanks! 6-7 oz veg-tan mainly. The gusset is an oil-stoned hide I picked up a while back. It looks about 4 oz.

[@megarouge61]

Awesome work! Could you please explain the wrap of the thread around the needle? Does this help keep the thread from loosening as you sew?

Nice Video, but why the Saddle Soap before tooling? I've never seen that before...

[@RoadAgentLeather]

Thanks! The soap lubricants the leather fibers. Makes carving with a swivel knife easier and gives better stamp impressions. Also slows down drying time so you don't have to rewet as often.

[@Onethirtytwo]

Could you make a belt holder for a can of Skoal Mint similar to the holder for the percussion caps? That'd be the bee's knees right there.

QUESTION, WELL TWO, WHY DIDN'T YOU USE THE CREALITY FOR THIS OR IS THE XTOOL A BETTER LASER FOR THIS PROJECT....?

[@RoadAgentLeather]

They worked great, but I sold the Creality lasers. For my personal situation the xTool's full-enclosure setup works better for me. I can actively vent the smoke out of my garage.

[@gamingbearsftw5842]

How did you avoid the smoke and bad burn marks on the laser?

[@RoadAgentLeather]

The very first clip is me wetting the leather before putting it in the machine. This is mostly to help it lay flat. But also helps some with the scorching. It's also dependent the power settings and the speed of the cut.

Did you use soap to case your leather?!? What's that all about? I've never seen anyone do that before.

[@RoadAgentLeather]

Hey! Thanks for subscribing. I got that tip back when I was a kid in the 80s from The Leather Factory (before they were purchased by Tandy). Then I saw a saddle maker's KZbin channel where they used the same technique. It 'lubricates' the leather fibers -- Makes your swivel knife glide easier, and makes for better stamp impressions. It also slows down the drying process so you don't have to rewet as often. I only do it when I'm tooling a large portion of the surface on a piece of leather.

[@Dynamytguy]
