I’m always looking for new skills to learn and new hobbies to try out, and one of my favourites right now is leather working. My wife was looking for a shoulder bag for carrying some larger items, so I decided to sit down with her and draft up a plan. After chatting about dimensions, features, etc I went to work with the cow hide I’ve had sitting around with me.
I’ve made belts and sheaths for my knife, but I wanted to do something bigger. This project was a big task to undertake so I worked at it in free time, when I needed a break from my schedule and in a week or two I had it finished. It took a bit longer as I decided to pull out a video camera to document the “making of”. Now that it’s all done if people are interested in how I did it, I might be able to put together some DIYs.
