[@Highm8nance88]

Thank you sooo much for taking time to produce this video. It is very easy to follow and very detailed. It’s so hard to find someone like yourself share your knowledge in the form of this detailed video. Thank you, thank you, thank you. I will be going to your Etsy shop to purchase videos.

[@craftsmangus]

Thank you to you too for being support us. If you have any questions please let me know.

[@erbigimbi9903]

Nicely done, thank you.

[@newzerozeroone]

Very nice tutorial, however, the background music makes me feel like I'm at the start screen of a early 2000s racing video game.

Ola que bonita bolsa muy elegante me gusto mucho lo del vivo y lo de la cadena no cabe duda que diario se a prende cuidate mucho y que Dios los bendiga un fuerte a brazo de su a migo el mexicano

[@miwakotsukiyomi]

lovely bag I'm coincidentally making one just like it but of leatherette using a shitty machine I find it interesting that you used a magnetic fixture.at the front to end up sealing it all under the piping anyway this channel is an inspiration to me !!!! keep up the good work!!!!

[@craftsmangus]

Thank You. I'm sure your work will be great too :)

[@josephorr7487]

Nice work! Which design software do you use?

[@bazhenovajulia1300]

klass!!!!!!!!! super!!!!!! merci!!!!!!!!

[@juanricofuqua7502]

You are God bless

[@christineatedesco-labrecqu9348]

Incredible workmanship. I ADORE your videos. I like this bag a lot but would be better on the vertical/portrait, open up like a teeny backpack. Can you make a pattern for that??

[@craftsmangus]

There is bags in my cue/todo list that about close to your description. A portrait cross body bag. I'm thinking about travel size that can contain compact camera, passport, phone n wallet or about regular document size.

[@christineatedesco-labrecqu9348]

YES!!! Portrait crossbody that would open like backback (more zipper I guess) Magnetic close pocket on outside. Inside as you described...maybe a mirror inside too and top handle that could ALSO attach long strap. Thank you for helping me find machine. My husband works with Thai Air Force.

[@ThanhThanhHandmade]

Thanks you!!!

[@Vladimir-Denisov.67]

Вот эту технологию яи искал. Спасибо автор.

[@igorsenichev3779]

As always, great work! Very cool, I admire! I look forward to your work! And can you tell which material you used as the inner lining? Is it leather, suede or artificial suede on a fabric basis?

[@craftsmangus]

Thank You Igor. For this project I use pig skin suede. :)

[@igorsenichev3779]

Wow, I did not even realize it was pork skin. Thank you.

[@adrianneguinzo]

Where can I buy one of these? huhu

[@LeatherHubPatterns]

Very good! Where did you get the punching chisels for the stitching holes ? Thank you!

[@craftsmangus]

Hi I use pricking iron from www.atelieramyroke.com/ but its the previous model.

[@maezimmerman2340]

What do you call the lining that you added in the bag?

[@adrianapollero1509]

Wonderful. What kind of fabric do you use inside? Is that fabric or leather?

[@craftsmangus]

This one we use pig skin as lining.

[@SuperVakia]

I definitely have to try. What is thicknes after skiving around edge of main body and piping ? thanks

[@craftsmangus]

Main body can be around 1.2/1.5/1.8, the border that skived should be 0.8-1.0. Piping should be 0.5-0.6. Briefly :)

[@eduarddraude9088]

спасибо, за видео

[@s3xiibiishliyah]

just subscribed to your channel and im obsess. do you make bags for brands and individuals?

[@craftsmangus]

Hi, I used to teach students in my own workshop, pattern maker/supervisor for brands. For individuals are long time ago. :)

[@donsergio593]

Класс

[@MrHhezli]

hi, can i know what is the leather thickness?

[@user-hn6vz9tv2j]

Peut-voir voir la réalisation des patrons pour ce type de model de sac? avec des calculs🙏🙂

[@nancyadkins603]

Hello! Thank you so much for making these videos and sharing your expertise with your followers. I have a couple questions...Is the piping plastic? Did you use fabric for the lining? Thank you :)

[@craftsmangus]

Hi Nancy. I use plastic tube as piping and pig skin as lining. But you also can use leather rope/rubber tube/rope as piping too. And lining you can use any fabric, I may recommend alcanthara or micro-fiber lining.

[@juanricofuqua7502]

You are God bless

[@user-rc9fy8ti8y]

хорошее виде, даже сделаю такую. Интересно, что за материал piping cord

[@garorobe]

Кант. В принципе, продаются готовые в швейных, но кожаных не встречал.

[@cs9236]

Could you use Cork fabric to make this or does it have to be leather

[@craftsmangus]

You also can apply to other material like Cork fabric as you mention, recycle rubber/canvas/artificial leather as you like.

[@aysheayshe5656]

What is the size of the d ring and plastic pipe you are using?thank you

[@denisebiddlecome7339]

What kind of pen do you mark the leather with?

[@craftsmangus]

We called it here as "silver pen", its kind of liquid carbon pen and its easily erased by rubber eraser. It china made without brand selling by local shop here in Bangkok.

[@basillikatheo9628]

@@craftsmangus can we find somehow the pattern of this bag and all others? Do you have a e-shop for the matterials, patterns and tools??

[@bik7083]

What kind of glue are you using? I seems very strong.

[@craftsmangus]

IT's contact glue. I make short reviews here in my Instagram. bit.ly/2MDS5Vr

[@christineatedesco-labrecqu9348]

Almost forgot. WHERE did you get that wonderful skiving machine??? I want a Nippy too!!!

[@craftsmangus]

It's old Nippy machine. I get from leather skiving service shop and I have my leather crafter friend refurbish for me. But in Thailand there are lots of leather bag manufacturers and maker so there are many machine old n new sell. Also many second hand shop import the used from closed factory n refurbish here for sell.

[@christineatedesco-labrecqu9348]

craftsmangus Can you find one there for me?

[@christineatedesco-labrecqu9348]

craftsmangus It would be wonderful. I only have one person I know in Thailand. I know it is a lot I am asking. But you never know if you don't ask.

[@craftsmangus]

I will seek for info.

[@user-ro2nv4uh1d]

請問你是用多厚的皮做的 謝謝 外層跟內層都告訴我

[@artisan_leather]

Cool, tell me, is there a pattern for this bag?

[@craftsmangus]

You can go via this link etsy.me/2M7Rjo8

[@deamericas]

hello craftsmangus, how thick is the piping cord? I hope you can help me .

[@craftsmangus]

The piping cord is 2.0 mm. thickness.

[@zachfisher3205]

What leather do you use for the bag itself ?

[@craftsmangus]

It's local (Thailand) cow chrome tanned in large pebble texture.

[@caroalmagur]

Hola, una pregunta? En qué tamaño se debe imprimir una vez adquirido los moldes? Saludos 🙋

[@craftsmangus]

Hola Caro. Para mi patrón, el archivo PDF puede imprimir 100% o 1: 1 Si la pieza del patrón es más grande que el papel A4. Logré un diseño de mosaico de papel también. Mejor.

[@caroalmagur]

craftsmangus una vez pagado, cuando lo recibo?

[@themaverickmovement2023]

Hello, I am new to leather working. What glue are you using on this video?

[@craftsmangus]

It's Grafted Polychloroprene Adhesive local brand here in THAILAND named "Bond-Tech No. BT-430" Basically you can use any contact adhesive, apply on both side(prepared clean surface) and wait it until dry then apply. Just the dry time is depend on the brand you use, location and humidity in where you are living. You need to test on each brand to find the perfect time for you. And you have to open and then close the lid very quick.

[@themaverickmovement2023]

@@craftsmangus thank you so much for your reply

[@tommybob9018]

Where do you order your leather from?

[@craftsmangus]

Usually I order from local shop in the leather street of Thailand and sometimes I just go to the tannery in the suburb area. But if by means online order, as I'm in ASIA I recommend Phoenix OSAKA, JAPAN.

[@bamb00seven]

what zipper do I use? I purchased the pattern but the material list is incomplete.

[@craftsmangus]

Thank you for your support. For zipper you can use YKK No.5 or Riri No.6 (or other brand compatible). The zipper will be shown its width in 15 cm. and the length is 29.8 cm. according to the pattern in file you have. You can use the PDF print and place on cardboard paper to make trace and cut the zipper. I'm so sorry if the material list you need is not complete. It is great that you inform me in any channel from e-shop you bought or KZbin media. I'm now in process of updating for better customer experience.

[@otealuajones8289]

Hi, what type of thread do you use?

[@craftsmangus]

This project I use waxed linen thread.

[@otealuajones8289]

craftsmangus Thank you so much.

[@cemitra]

0:42 What alternative materials can I use to stiffer the zipper?

[@craftsmangus]

You can use drawing paper like Bristol paper (or thinner).

[@cemitra]

@@craftsmangus Perfect, I'll use this one. thank you so much!

[@Artful.wanderings]

When you attach the bottom gusset to the top gusset then you awl through, I wonder how you awl through the zipper teeth? Any tips and tricks? Another question, should I skive the D-ring leather too? Thank you so much for great videos ❤

[@craftsmangus]

I use regular round awl instead of diamond blade awl in the zipper teeth position. You can try pressing lightly to feel it before press through. For the D-Ring you can skive but not too thin for strength factor. You are welcome. :)

[@dadecountydeals7747]

Possible to sew this bag on machine?

[@craftsmangus]

Of course. "Cylinder bed"/"Post bed" industrial sewing machine can sew this bag with (small) walking footer. But if work with thin and soft leather, flat bed industrial sewing machine can do too. Normally, most of leather bags brand use sewing machine. If handmade will be too much cost n selling price.

[@dadecountydeals7747]

craftsmangus thank you for the reply!! can you recommend small foot singer 111w1. My cylinder bed uses those feet

[@craftsmangus]

Can you send me a message via Facebook "CraftsmanGus" or DM Instagram "CraftsmanGus". I can send you photo of footer I use. I use normal walking foot but I did modification. I'm sorry I didn't have info about Singer footer.

[@margretadel6432]

How size??

[@craftsmangus]

The finished size as follows: Width: 19.5 cm. (7 3/4 inch) Hight: 13.5 cm. (5 1/4 inch) Dept: 5.5 cm. (2 1/4 inch)
