I want to give this 'natural veg tan' leather laptop bag to one of you. So if you have instagram, head over there and share the "reel" video of this bag, and after 48 hours (around this time on Thanksgiving day) I'll randomly pick one of you to send it out to.
Here's a little unintentional ASMR for ya. I've been anxious to pull out an old pattern, the no.60 satchel and make a few bags with it. I used a pretty heavy weight 9/10oz leather for the whole bag. If I were to do it again, I'd probably use 6/7oz for the gusset because I basically had to beat it into submission. Luckily I got it to work and the bag looks great! I think one of you will really enjoy breaking this bag in.

Its not supposed to be a prom queen, its a brute and looks great and in 50 years it will still look good
Exaaaactly. Thank you!
What r u talkin about, that bag is AWESOME
This is a stunning piece of art. Those “flaws” are what I was talking about in my comment about the trucker wallet build your recently posted. The story of this bag and how it came to be is what I love most about it. I love to see the return to your roots. Keep up the good work!
there is something wonderful about the sound of heavy leather, also, i love the look of that slightly uneven oil finish
It gives some character to it.
You are a master bag maker, loved watching you make it.I would have loved to see the whole time. Love hours of leather making
Love it. Starting to make bags now myself. I do a lot of holsters, wallets, and knife sheathes.
Can’t wait to be able to put out the work like you do
Love it. It’s meant to have its rough edges, that’s what gives it character and history
Definitely, and thanks!
That’s gonna last a lifetime. You’ll never need another laptop bag ever again.
Love this. It’s meant to have that worn well loved look. It’ll have a beautiful patina in years to come
The bag is beautiful.
And I’m sure it has that perfect “ Brand New Leather Smell “
Would love to own one of these🥰
Thank you!
I've watched this video about 4-5 times because I love leather craft but I also just love this bag so so much...I've been tempted to try and make something similar but nothing would compare to this beast of a bag!! so, I'll keep dreaming about it lol
This bag is stunning! I call it the Patek Philippe of saddle bags “you never actually own this saddle bag. You merely look after it for the next generation”. I’m left awed in bewilderment
you're too kind, thank you!
Very nice bag even with what you call low grade. Perfect making. Enjoyed it!!!
Love the character on the leather. IT'S ALIVE!
Thanks David! I agree, i always love some oiled natty veg
I sure wish I’d known give away a month ago, I LOVE that bag! I’d oil it up and carry it all the time!
Your idea of imperfections are probably not really noticable to many others. However, I'm with you. I like 'em a little rougher as long as they are sturdy!
haha yeah everyones standards are a little different. But this hide was even rougher than it appears to be in the video. Although, i'm very happy with how it turned out:)
50 years ago, I was making sandals, handbags and vests. I hand tooled them and custom fitted them to my clients feet, chest, etc. But I did not stay in that business as at that time, everybody (and his pet, so it seems) was in the leather business. To build a client base was taking too long to get it up to where it would support me. Plus, prices were not there to make a decent living. So I left that craft. Today, with quality, and the internet, leathercrafters today, are able to make a good living. Not so 50 years ago without several decades of hard work to build up a business. Again, it is nice to see a quality leathersimth who can produce the goods that speaks volumes for your artisan skills.
If I need something made with what I know is "Top Shelf", I will be contacting you.
Hi, I really appreciate you sharing your great talent in bag making. I used to work in a bag company for 8 years and with your show it reminds me of my time with the shop which i really.love doing. More power!
That is a beautiful bag! I could never make it, but I would definitely buy it!
hi
Brother, that was more like a wrestling match! Great job! That bag will last more than one lifetime pretty or not. That bag definitely has purpose now.
Great job!
Excellent bag, the different color gives it personality. Oil & sun will do wonders.
I love the old worn look of the non perfect leather.
As do I :)
dude, 150 yrs this will still be a GREAT bag...don't undersell yourself...Great work
Fell in love with this bag as I watched you making it. I hope I shared it correctly, I'm not tech savvy. Good luck to everyone!
Thank you Tammie:)
A true craftsman and a quality bag/satchel. Bravo
Thanks so much Randy!
Cool bag! I saw at least 3 different S&B T-shirts come by in this video...
I hope whoever won the bag really enjoys it!
Its all good !!
Man, I dont know why but I like to watch this video over and over.
thanks Brock:)
Imagine being a lawyer and running late to court and when you get there the whole room is silent and the judge is staring at you and you have to open this briefcase and rummage around in it to grab all your stuff for your case lol
That bag says, “Not only will I win this case. You’ll also call me Huckleberry when I’m done.”
This is awesome!! Loved the vid! Do some more ASMR, it was extra interesting!!!! 🤩🤩 Keep up this amazing content!
Thank you Stock&Barrel Co Leathercraft
thank you!
The only downside of being a leatherworker is that I could never justify buying such great stuff when I can make it myself. Keep up the good stuff brother.
Haha I can totally relate. Thank you!
oh im so sad i missed the giveaway for this bag, its so beautiful
Really good work Parker. Such an intricate design. One mistake and it could of all been ruined. Well Done. Paul
it's a great looking bag. I've made a lot of my personal leather items because I was inspired by your designs
wow thank you so much!
Beautiful bag and workmanship. I carry a $1200. Tumi bag, this is beautiful.
It will make me happy
great Job!!
Thanks Pablo!
Make one for me man. I love this bag so dearly. I understand you gave this away but send one in South Africa please!!!
I am or was a canvas stitcher....This Bag is excellent!
Love this bag!! I prefer to make heavier traditional bags and briefcases usually out of 6-8 oz Love the way they maintain. Great build.
كل الإحترافية والدقة والجمال والإبداع والمهارة تسلم الأيادى أيها الفنان المحترف والمبدع؛
I LIKE THE STYLE! I THINK YOU SHOULD BRING BACK THE #60 INTO PRODUCTION.. I WOULD BUY ONE!
I love this. As a leatherworker myself, I feel like the term "handmade" or "handcrafted" can be misleading in the way that it has a weird meaning associated with it. Those terms are used interchangeably with "finest quality" and "flawless." That's not what handmade is at all. A handmade, especially small batch, product is flawed. Yes, some people can make a bag like this and spend entire days making it perfect and it looks great but that's not realistic unless you want a $3k bag. But most people aren't looking for something like that.
Watching someone as successful as you get back to making things like this was reassuring. I often get caught up in trying to make everything perfect but it never will be. Especially not when I don't have machines to help. Thanks for making this!
That’s a cool perspective, I appreciate that man 👊🏼
Just great sir....thanks for making the vid
This is how you'll be remembered
Nostalgia is a fantastic word coming from such a young man. You amaze me every tutorial you post. That bag is something I would enjoy making. How do ya like your Cobra? I got a class four this last summer and it's a joy to run. Happy Thanksgiving to you and yours and blessings also. I'm going to go to your site and get a pattern if they're for sale. Again Thanx for showing an old leather smith something new. You keep up the honest work. Take care and stay healthy. As ever just Tom 🤠
Love my Cobra! I knew I would, it's a great machine. Glad you're enjoying yours as well. And thanks for the all the kind words. Happy Thanksgiving:)
Looks clean, i like it
Dear Sir, Are you still making the bag? It is so beautiful!
I really like this bag. Good job. I wish I could have it.
I want to know how much it weighs !!! Absolutely beautiful i can see it on the side of a horse !!
Wonderfull !!!! You are a great Prof
Haha thank you!
We got benefit from your good idea.
Love it so much!
Thanks for the video! This is my next project!
Amazing work; that’s real skill right there...

I love your work its awesome pice of art
I would like to learn how to work with leather
Is any way that you can share where to get al the supplies for a beginners
Thanks
Awesome bag man.
Blessings to you and yours ✌
New subscriber / new leatherworker-late to the game
Absolutely love the bag and loved the video. I learned a LOT.
Since I'm limited to hand stitching everything, it looked like I could do most of this stitching using a two-needle saddle stitch... I know... it'll take forever, but it's what I have.
Also, I'll be watching more of your videos and am looking forward to the neatsfoot oil video... I was wondering what I needed to do to avoid "staining" veg-tan when I love the color to begin with.
Thanks for sharing!
Cheers
thank you! Yes you can still hand stitch this bag by either punching the holes before hand and pairing it up or using a chisel punch after it's glued and then stitch (which is the way I would recommend). As for leather treatment, if you don't want the color to change, I would recommend using Smith's leather balm. That will condition it without darkening, as well as giving it some decent weather proofing. It was want it to be really water repellent you can spray it down with some nikwax waterproofing spray after you condition it with Smith's

Hi can you plz bring down the prices to this template just getting started
It's beautiful for its imperfections.
Love seeing the process and the tools used! Keep it up!
Thanks guys! Hope you two are doing well:) love the vids
Obviously new to this because beyond the skill set I am amazed by the glue. What form of magic makes glue stick to the impossible using a hammer. What is it, elmers, tite bond, I need it. Guessing the hammer removes air, spreads and impregnated the fibers and breaks the fibers Down just enough for the tack to hold.
yes sir, I use contact cement so you have to apply it to both sides and it adheres to itself. Barge cement is a popular one for leathercraft but I started using a water based one recently called Aquilim 315. It's not nearly as toxic and I don't get headaches from using it anymore:) Still holds just as strong
Beautiful work, I whish I had all that equipment. You got to have money to make money. At the moment I don't but I hope to. Thanks for the very educational videos.
Looks to me that you've still got it... nice build pal
haha thanks Dan, this is definitely my favorite kind of leather work. So much fun
Enjoy your videos,thank you Parker
Always appreciate your support Jim, thank you!
oh man would totally buy this if i didnt already went in on black friday
Love it .how much does something like that cost?
Nice craftsmanship
Thank you Jerry!
love the bag. I'd rock it
Looks great to me, Great work as always.
Thank you so much 👍
Just recently found your channel, awesome stuff!
Awesome, thanks Travis! Glad you could join us:)
Would make a great saddle bag for a motorcycle
sure would!
I love the bag 😍
It is both beauty and the beast 👍🏾
The machine stitching process around the edges of the stiff leather bag can be very difficult. A single mistake can send you way back. Very nicely done!
Really nice piece. 👍👍
So beautiful and so strong. I love it.
Thanks Oscar!
It's beautiful!
Very nice work, it is always a pleasure to see your videos.Thanks for sharing.' What kind size off tread and needle do you use on your cobra machine.
Beautiful work.
Thanks Steven! always appreciate kind words
I'd take it. I think it's beautiful.
Awesome mate, ripper bag!
yessir! Thank you
excellent work!!!
Bugger nice bag
Really awesome bag
Thank you so much 😊
Love it
What type of conditioner you used on leather pieces before assembling the bag ?
I would take it
Beautiful bag! What company made the brown walking foot sewing machine? It sews amazingly!
Awesome
Can you tell me where you got that long rivet setter I see you using in you vids? I hate the little 3 inch ones.
Looks pretty awesome to me! How many hrs do you think you have into a project like that?
thank you! it's usually around 6-8 hours but when i'm filming, it's 3x as long
ok maybe 2X
Can you please tell me to get one of those really long river setters?
Looks Like a school bag for Eaton
Like it a lot.
thank you!
Where do you get the hardware for the bag? looks so good!
I think it’s a great bag. Thanks for sharing. I thought you recently bought a Techsew 341 clone.
Thanks Jim. Yeah I have a Techsew 2750 pro which is great for medium weight bags and smaller stuff but I more recently bought a Cobra class 3 (441 clone i believe) for heavy weight projects like this
Their 441 clone is Class 4.
Looks like Class 3 is a short arm 441 clone like a CB 3500. Looks like a great machine. First time I’ve seen you use a Cobra sander/edger.
Truly amazing 🤩
thanks dude! Always appreciate the support:)
