Making a Traditional Leather Tool Bag
Making a Leather Tool Bag is a fairly straight forward leather crafting project. We made this leather tool bag by hand using natural vegetable tanned leather and solid brass rivets. The bag is hand sewn with Ritza Tiger thread, and the vegetable tanned leather is treated with mink oil.
There are many ways to make this traditional leather tool bag design. For this leather tool bag, we did a riveted bottom gusset with stitched sides. For the Leather Tool Bag handles, we used the same 7-8oz vegetable tanned leather in 3/4" strapping, which was burnished and waxed for a comfortable feel. We then installed a snap closure on the leather tool bag which, along with the straps that wrap under the entire bag to provide support, keeps the handmade leather tool bag closed and secure.
Making your own leather tool bag is a ton of fun, whether you're hand sewing or machine sewing your leather projects. Give it a try and make yourself a leather tool bag that you can hand down for generations!

Extremely satisfying watching...never did anything like this but now want to try

[@CantrellLeatherGoods]

Just beautiful. That leather is gorgeous. Love the brass rivets. The design is awesome. And like someone else suggested - it would make a wonderful purse/bag. Just LOVE this!

[@tiramisu2506]

Not only your craftsmanship is superb but the camera work is also beautiful. I have greatly enjoyed watching this video.

[@mr.cubarinogaming8953]

Me too bro i wanna be a fuking craftman i wanna build make somthing now

[@remoc52357]

That's beautiful......people don't know how to do that kind of leather work any more....bravo!!!!!

[@crisgomez7516]

This video is mesmerizing and beautiful... My grandfather was a shoe designer and this brought back so many memories of his craftsmanship. Thank you for this.

[@laytonc8954]

That’s what I’d call greats craftsmanship. Keep up the amazing work!

[@christysalt6691]

With the right tools & supplies, anything is possible!! Excellent job!!!

[@raraavis7782]

Leather is such an amazing material! Loved watching - thanks for sharing your craftsmanship 👍

[@michaszczepaniak2207]

I'm So in love! I just bought my "beginer set" for leathercrafting, can't wait to reach at least 5% of your level. Greetings from Poland :)

[@eusse27]

Colombia has also a great history of leather crafting its just that we do not make such nice videos.

[@thejames666]

This is absolutely hypnotic. Incredible. New sub from London.

[@TechnaDesign]

Nice video and workmanship! And thank you for playing the segments in real time instead of sped up. 👍

[@pilesofpoodles4954]

You've done something really amazing with these gussetts man.. Wow.

[@grittykitty50]

Great leather tool bag or a badass purse. No frills or foolishness, just wonderful craftsmanship.

[@MountainFisher]

I like the Ritza Tiger thread for most applications, its hard to make it tangle and it lays down flat. Good video. I use Weaver for most of my leather working stuff, they're the only ones who carry the Tiger thread in 50 meter spools, which is economical for me as I don't need the big 500 meter spools.

[@rfleecs]

Another joy to experience! Well done!!!

[@jamesrohr8790]

You know it smells so good in this workshop.

[@alexanders.montes7131]

Got to hand it to you on making great videos! Because of you, I got inspired to get in leathercrafting! Thank you! I hope you make more items and more great videos! Oh, and keep up the good work!👍

Gorgeous work

[@WeeGeordie]

Nice work, as usual. Beautiful bag. Thanks for the video!

[@sammalvs]

I love you. I love this channel. Thank you for your art

[@IronBay]

Finally a person using a flat hammer when setting rivets. In my opinion, gives a much better finish then a rounded ball hammer. Great job!

[@Corter]

yesssss, we agree!

[@notsofresh8563]

Nice and simple design, I like. You can get a really nice dimpled finish with a small ball hammer and lots of light taps. If you are careful, you can completely blend the peened shaft into the rove. Btw, if you were to cut the rivets out of this tool bag, you would see the shaft is bent. This offsets the head on one side. If you use a much smaller punch, or even just a round awl and make the hole as tight to the rivet as possible you will get better results. Also, you need a bit more thread tension on your stitching. If there was no glue those seams would walk around.

[@AJ-bi6ru]

Gorgeous!!! Thank you for sharing!

[@IAmTheSkinThief]

First video where the loud table gave me a splitting migraine.. So glad you've fixed it since this.

[@BeachBoi1000]

I love those rivets...

[@JamesStreetStation]

Gotta love Weaver. Chuck D is one of the main reasons I got interested in the craft again a few months ago. Really down to Earth fella. We're a Weaver shop. Little/Mighty Wonder, punch sets & boards, the whole kit and caboodle. =)

[@bbowling4979]

Maybe they were downvoting for the audio only being on the right channel

[@kingjgregory]

Fantastic! I know you don't really do instructional videos, but I seriously want to learn to stitch like you. It seems much easier than getting the pony out every time.

[@Corter]

It is :) We'll do a full-on instruction video at some point, I promise!

[@alessandraalexandredasilva]

Very nice! I love these kinds of bags. How do you join the two ends of the strap under the bag? Skive them to overlap then stitch them?

[@melisarodriguez6306]
