Making Bag : Boxy Bag

Hi guys, this time we made this episode about to make lady's boxy bag. Its need to work on a little more complex of bag's part. But if you guys work with veg-tanned leather without lining will be way more easier to complete. (Nice hardware lock will change this bag design felling.....even change from leather strap into some more bling chain.

Your very talented what an amazing skill you have I use to work for a company that makes swords and fencing equipment the amount of time that goes into making the masks and swords it's very hard work and to see you make a bag from scratch is very pleasing funnily enough my supervisor use to make bags too. ☺️

[@iLoveLeatherNYC]

Thank you for posting you have great skills! Amazing to watch. Perhaps due to length of video you skipped over how you made the strap? I definitely would have wanted to see that. Please do list the materials and tools you use. I'm subscribing.

[@craftsmangus]

Hi iLoveLeatherNYC. In our videos we like to make in brief and not too long videos. So the main part are in the video. We are really sorry if we have to trim some part off. And we are in Bangkok, THAILAND so some tools and material are local and cannot find online. Just some of them you might find something similar. -Leather : Local cow chromed tanned in EPSOM emboss -Lining Leather : Local pig skin -Stiffener : Splited cow veg tanned leather, or you can use texon -Glue : Local adhesive contact "Bondtech", or if you can find "Prym" "Dunlop" "Pattex" but I never try "Barge" -Pricking Iron : Amy Roke 3.38 -Linen Thead : YueFung -Electric Creaser : Regad size F1.5 -Accessories : Local -Edge Paint : Fenice Hope this can help.

[@iLoveLeatherNYC]

Hi. Thank you for your quick reply. Yes this is very helpful information to have. I totally understand the video being long, perhaps make a separate one for the strap? (or any project that is complex) that way we can watch whatever we'd like to see. Your skill level is incredible so a longer video is no problem and more than one is fine.

[@shirleyann1901]

What’s the name of the glue that you use?

[@josonp6623]

What do you call the that golden metal clamp thing to close the bag

[@josefinaramos6534]

Hi, I absolutely love the result, but I have a few questions. How thick is the black leather you are using and also, what is the material of the “stiffener”. I live in a country that speaks Spanish and I have no idea how to call for a “stiffener”. Thank you!

[@craftsmangus]

That black leather is about 1.8 mm. thickness. (Many of cow leather sell in Thailand are about 1.8). For stiffener means to help bag in structure, to make it in good n stiff shape. Normally I use the splitted leather from the thinning process ( top layer for making wallet, underneath skin for stiffer). But for some place that didn't have leather splitting service is kind of hard to find. You can use other thing like EVA foam/texon/drawing paper/ rubber mat ( thin n light). It will give more wight to the bag. And each stiffener will give different feeling. Hope this help. :)

[@otealuajones8289]

Hi, you do excellent work! What kind of leather do you use, where do you get it from and what walking foot machine do you have? Thanks.

[@craftsmangus]

Hi Otealua, This project I use embossed leather in texture called "EPSOM" made by local tannery in Thailand. But if you are interested in this leather you may browse IG and find for "Fineleatherclub" or "Europelle". I use JUKI LS 341 N for walking foot machine.

[@anon4518]

thanks

[@fifteenandfifteen]

Excellent tutorial! What tool are you using to apply the paint to the edges of the bag? Thank you!

[@craftsmangus]

Its a brass paint dauber. I used to buy this one from RMLeathersupply.com but for this model now no more. I recommended to buy similar like this from crimsonhides, very good tools from Singapore. bit.ly/2ON9Sf5 I also use this right now.

[@terh7169]

Do you think 5-6 ounces of pebbled leather is sturdy enough to make a tote bag or I need to add a stiffener?

[@sylviabrown6617]

Cute

[@miamiyake]

lovely work! What glue do you use and whats the tool you apply it with? Many thanks

[@craftsmangus]

For glue. In this project I use local (Bondtech brand in Thailand) contact cement (yellow rubber glue) and apply with silicone spatula. It's great combination, glue stick well and glue stain can remove of the silicone spatula easily.

[@Wonderful0821]

amazing she dont need sewing machine bravOoo 👏👏👏 what you call that little fork? that makes a hole?

Puede que sea más económico hacer tus propios bolsos y tú con tu creatividad e imaginación reproducir el que te guste o hacer algo único y que nadie más traiga.... Pero se necesita tener un taller en casa con todos y c/u de los materiales y herramientas necesarias o hacer una inversión en ello y yo creo que muy pocos los harían y pues la verdad resulta menos tedioso ir a comprar uno que hacerlo, hoy en día nos hemos vuelto muy dependientes. Aún así me encanto el video y ese bolsito es muy lindo.

Hola mi amigo. Intento traducir a través de google. No estoy seguro de que todo sea correcto ya que intento escribir esto también. Puedes empezar por muy pocas herramientas al principio.

[@craftsmangus]

Hi. I'm really sorry. I didn't make leather goods for sell. I do video tutorial on KZbin and pattern for sell only.

[@ex3qtor]

Hi, could you explain the process of your edge finishing? What products are you using and why.. ;)

[@craftsmangus]

For edge finishing I use Fenice primer and paint that sold to the factory that I know in Thailand. For me I use 2 different primer, 1st is to close up the hairy layer of the edge and 2nd different primer to fill-in the edges before applying the paint. Primer is very important in making this process easier. After the primer is dried I paint, after the the paint is dried use a very fine sand paper then paint again. After the 2nd layer of paint is dry sand paper again then use a wet sponge or dilute the paint with water and apply the last layer of paint very thinly. Also, this video I didn't heat iron on the edge but you also possible bees wax and heat on the edge too.

[@ex3qtor]

Thank you for the answer. This is the first video i saw somebody use primer. Will have to look into that some more ;)

[@Nebukadnezzer]

craftsmangus Many thanks for the detailed explanation. Do you happen to know if the primers can be bought online?

I use most of the tools from Japan you can find at leathercrafttool.com and pricking iron I use from AtelierAmyRoke.com some are from Blanchard FRANCE and skiver is NIPPY JAPAN.

[@Artful.wanderings]

Awesome! Well, I have never attached the flap facing when the flap is completely flat like I create 90° edeges where it folds. Does really the facing underneath (attached to the flap on a straight line) let the fap folds easily later on?? Big big question occupying my mind... hope you can help me. Thank you so much in advance 🙏❤

[@craftsmangus]

Hi sama. For the facing underneath (may mean the lining right?) that can be fold easily, its is really depends. Like depends on purpose of design of bag's flap to be stay an upside down U-shape or willing to be flexible flat. If fix shape, glue n paste together when its in curve shape (can be on mold) will have it stay, but the lining must be not too stretchable. If flexible shape, glue n paste on flat surface with flexible lining is the way. But for flexible shape, the lining must not be to hard, it will be against the fold. Hopefully my English can be understandable. (I'm not fluent).

[@Artful.wanderings]

@@craftsmangus It was perfectly fluent. I appreciate your help.

[@craftsmangus]

Hi Joselyn. For glue it's Grafted Polychloroprene Adhesive local brand here in THAILAND name "Bond-Tech No. BT-430" Basically you can use contact adhesive and wait it until dry. For things look like fork normally called pricking iron. For other things and knowledges I cannot explain all in comment. If you would love to learn I'm not sure where you are and if there is local leather workshop around your area or not. But if you like to learn online you can check at leathercraftmasterclass.com Just before you decide to take class online or local, you may need to seek a lots of info, may be browse in KZbin for tutorials first. And also I do make video of short review of one good book at kzbin.info/www/bejne/manJgJmPoaqJack :)
