Make a Waxed Canvas Box Bag - Forme Industrious

[@ScottTurnerformeindustrious]

Comments about the body bag at the end are not to be taken seriously folks. My humour can be dry.

[@retireddec04]

I thought for a minute you meant a bivvy sack that you use over a sleeping bag!

[@thefreedomwarrior]

Lol. Don’t apologize for good dry humor. God bless from the USA. Edit. Prayers out for your countrymen

[@mkbman45]

I was cracking a smile too. Then I read your comment and realize we must both have the same brand of humor. BTW, if you ever make and sell those bags I'd love to buy one.

Great machine, bought back from the scrap heap.

[@V8PropaneBurner]

Dude you made that look way too easy. I need a set of tool bags like this. Video bookmarked 👍

[@ScottTurnerformeindustrious]

Huge thanks! They are fun to make.

[@LonghornWorkshop]

Beauty mate. My dad was a tailor and use to make mans three piece suits, he still has the old Pfaff sewing machine. In all the time he has had it, it's never failed him ever.

[@ScottTurnerformeindustrious]

Truly superb machines made to work and last. Thank you!!

[@AlpacaMade]

Anyone who uses binder clips and a gear driven sewing machine is on the right track as a maker. Well done!

[@ScottTurnerformeindustrious]

Thank you ! I use what I have, and I hate using pins

[@ryndl]

That old pfaff looks beautiful. I would not paint over that lovely patina, it is the history of the machine on display.

[@ubacgraffs]

Excellent video tutorial. All the details without the big words. I liked the mention of measuring sticks !! 😂

[@ScottTurnerformeindustrious]

Thank you!

Scott, I think if you made a video showing how to watch paint dry I'd watch and be amazed... Thank you for showing your many talents!

[@ScottTurnerformeindustrious]

And I'm extremely grateful for your support and encouragement. Thank you!!

[@ericmac564]

Love you work Scott. Id recommend cutting the corner pieces out prior to assembly. This will allow you to assemble it without cutting through your stitch lines. I get that you are sewing over the cut lines in the end, but they will still be prone to unraveling without a back stitch. Keep up the great work, its a joy to watch.

[@ScottTurnerformeindustrious]

I will definitely try that. Thank you Eric!!

[@WorksbySolo]

Brilliant! So many possibilities. You are a much better at sewing than I am. Thanks for the great tutorial.

I like old and ratty tools lol. Just like me!!! I think of it as character and patina 😊 Great project Scott 👍👍👍👍

[@ScottTurnerformeindustrious]

It certainly has patina but it purrs when sewing (didn't when I first got it that's for sure). Oh it will make a nice project and I'll get another dung heap to fix up to make up for it :)

[@erniebahr4666]

We’ll done, enjoyed the project

[@davidupton4730]

If you want the zipper off Center is that possible? Also how do you work out how big the notches should be?

[@ScottTurnerformeindustrious]

It would be possible with the right layout. You can experiment with paper cutouts (Patterns). The notches for me was trial and error. If they are square (all equal sides) the bag should be width/ height equidistant, or close to it.

[@marquesn77]

Well done! Can’t wait to make one

Thanks mate. great video and love that old machine

[@ScottTurnerformeindustrious]

Thank you Ron!

[@autocyclewoodsplitter4877]

Nicely done! The possibilities are endless with that process. I've heard of similar process where you keep the canvas warm (Like a big "hot-plate" for cooking food) and spread the wax on, like a bar of soap. Keep up the good work! Derek

[@ScottTurnerformeindustrious]

Thanks Derek! Totally agree, some sort of hot plate and heated squeeze roller would be great for this. My method is ok for these one of type jobs I guess.

[@autocyclewoodsplitter4877]

It works quite well.

[@mrtablesawful]

Nice bag! I am going to give a whack at making something out of waxed canvas this winter. A shop apron, one of these bags, a tool roll, or maybe a pizza roll!? Will be fun!

Brilliant video Scott - you covered everything well. I have to give this a go. I've been wondering for ages how to make waxed canvas items (and I also have a ratty old sewing machine but it works well). Haven't sewed much since school, but the geometry, measuring and 3D thinking is very similar to wood and metalworking. A workshop apron would be a very cool project. You should sell those shower bags, I reckon you'd get a few buyers! Cheers, Craig

[@ScottTurnerformeindustrious]

Thanks Craig! Yes has a lot of commonality with other forms of fabrication, but less noise and dust. I'll put them on my web site and see how they go. Cheers and all the best!

Cool video. Very helpful! Do you know what the final measurements for the bag were? Im having trouble figuring out how big I should cut the squares. Any approximation would be perfect.

Hi Henri. Check the video at 38 seconds for the basic canvas size and at 6:58 for the corner cut out size. Finished size is approx 250mm long by 110mm x 110mm.

I love waxed Canvas, nice job! It must be an American thing, but as far as the sewing machine goes.. it’s only original once. Another cool option may be to buff out the original paint and rust and chrome, guys are doing amazing things with hot rods here like that. Hey it’s your machine, do what you want, just my two cents. Keep up the great work...

[@ScottTurnerformeindustrious]

Many thanks David. Well every time I looked at the machine I thought I need to freshen it up so I'll go with the gut feeling. Cheers!

What weight canvas did you use?

[@dougaungst6163]

Looking to purchase a sewing machine to do some leather and canvas projects. What do you suggest as far as a machine?

[@ScottTurnerformeindustrious]

Hi Doug, I'm probably the wrong person to ask. If it is light thin leather something like the Singer 201 will do it. If it is Veg Tan Leather you probably need a heavier duty machine (Walking Foot). I have a Singer 201 which I bought a few weeks back and it is a superb machine that I bought rather cheap. Made in 1957 Like my PFAFF 230.

[@dougaungst6163]

@@ScottTurnerformeindustrious Thanks for the advice. I might look for something a little heavier then. I'm an avid archery Hunter, I could do something with my deer hides if I got them tanned. Great video by the way. You always impress me with your diversity of craftsmanship. Keep em coming!

Nice job on the bag! I love it! I think I would have used a brass zipper though... nylon zips are notoriously bad about pulling apart after a while!

[@ScottTurnerformeindustrious]

Thanks Vickie! I'd like to use a brass zipper, but on this design you sew through the zipper area and I have to work out the best way to do that. The nylon zipper is shortish and not under a lot of stress, I think it will be okay, and you can sew through them, even the chunk ones. Cheers!

[@particlesofenergy]

if you have a chunky zip, how long should it be? I just learned to sew and am going to attempt the bags. Very cool by the way. Wondering if I may need to alter the dimensions a bit to fit what I bought. Thanks and I really enjoyed the video.

[@ScottTurnerformeindustrious]

The zipper should be longer than your canvas. If you note mine in the video is slightly longer than the length of canvas. The reason is so that you don't have to sew through the end stops of the zipper , which is harder. Yes you can shorten the bag to suit

[@particlesofenergy]

@@ScottTurnerformeindustrious So you can cut through one of the metal zippers without damaging it? I was looking to do it kind of heavy duty. Really appreciate the reply! Thanks. Watching more of your vids. :)
