I’ve told you before on IG that I’m planning to make one of your bags.. it was the Valise.... but now I’m watching this thinking.... YES!!! Dude your work every damn time I see it is stunning! I drool over the leather, the shop, the tools your boy makes, the designs, and as has been stated over and over.... the production quality of every photo, video, and post you put out. Makes me absolutely realize that I need to get better! Thanks for the motivation Artie!
I really appreciate all of that. Means a lot
Damn, that was really something else! I have no doubt that men would rock purses if it was you that made 'em. Powerful stuff sir
Lol. Thank you!!
I appreciate your lack of waste in how you cut the parts, for the most part. You’re better than others. I’m more zen in my approach and really do generally let the hide speak before I cut. Again, I will say, only as a call-back joke, “We don’t need no stinking pattern”. I learn something.. new after watching any of your vids. Thank you. I’ve only been doing the craft for 40 yrs. i’d show some work, but nobody’s asked. Your knife skill is inspiring. However, I still think I best you on sewing without a pony. I love the handle hack! I’ve been doing it with rope. BRILLIANT! Really, I watch you more than any of the others, including DieselTony, although he’s excellent. I actually feel that you have more fun. I did shoe repair for over ten yrs. and then worked for Tandy for another nine. All that time I NEVER saw the skill and love for the craft I see in your vids. Thx, again. Keep up the beautiful work.
I really appreciate all of that ! And coming from a veteran like you, it means a lot
I clicked the link, and here I am to watch a video about how to make a satchel... but I don't even see it on the thumbnail. And I've been looking for it for like 10 minutes now... so I called my wife in to see if she could find it. She pointed right to it, and the darndest thing... I still can't see it! Also apparently I was just informed I'm sleeping on the couch tonight.
Joking aside, wonderful job on the satchel and video!!
Thanks !!
Love your work. Can't wait for the shop tours. I'll be there!
Now THIS is a man who knows how to make people click on his videos!
Your videos are the best! Your showmanship keeps me watching them all. Love the tools, craftsmanship and best of all, the videos explaining how to use those tools with ease. Thank you and keep up the great work!
Beautiful work... Thank you for taking the time to share.
That is fantastic! I really want to make a bag. Just waiting for the space to do it. Thanks for the wicked content.
Thank for entertaining me on a sick day home from work....and for making me want to get this bag!! Great video!
Sick???? No!!! (Thanks for watching and commenting). Let me know when you’re ready!
This case is not afraid of anything, a super backpack! Master.
I know I've watched this before, and it's been now over year since you published it but I just caught at 11:58 you v-gouged and then skived the leather. WOW that makes so much more sense rather than trying to just scratch a line with an awl or using the mark from wing dividers.
Thanks the continued support!
I made one of these in heavy veg tan and my thumbs are still recovering weeks later.
You and me both. Im barely half way thru this mission of making one, and starting to second guess my choice of material.
Oil tanned seemed like the much more forgiving leather option in retrospect..
I made a 4.5 foot shotgun bag for a friend using some firm temper oil tan leather, double row stitching all by hand. My thumbs will never recover
That was absolutely wonderful!! As always great content and production. The project itself is stunning!!!!
Thanks! I really appreciate that. And for you taking the time to comment.
I love that you put an outside reinforcing panel for the inside rear pocket!!!
Thank you!!! And thanks for watching!
i loved this art work of yours. keep doing it you are inspiring a lot of people from even other countries.
Thank you!
Outstanding craftsmanship as always. Really learning and living these videos. Thanks.
Thanks, Steve!
You make some of the most beautiful leather work I've seen on the net so far.
Wow!! I’m honored, because I know some great crafters out there for sure. Thanks for the feedback and for watching
Great looking bag! I appreciate all the work you put into filming. I need to up my game! I get tired just knowing the amount of work that goes into filming from countless camera angles to keep the video interesting. I know that really slows down production, but it’s well worth it. Your videos are fun to watch and highly informative! I’m envious of your workspace and steel weight & bench block collection! Have you ever released a video where you didn’t spill something on your bench? LOL
Thanks!! Yes, it slows it all down. It’s about 3 hours of filming for 1 minute of finished footage. 200-300 clips in a 10 minute video. But it’s fun.
Both of you guys are so great at what you do, I’m really wanting a work bag 💼 for my tools and leather working equipment that I tote around back and forth to Tandy in between class and work..my class and job are 20 min from home so I just hang out in the city to get my leather working in..was wondering if either one of you had any input on what type of leather is best for such a bag..thanks
This is very well made. No telling how many generations this will last even if it is used e every day.
What a awesome job.
Absolutely love this craftsmanship
Thank you for that!
10:43 The origin of Olympic curling......
Beautiful work as always.
Lol. Possibly! (That’s actually an antique horse weight. To tie your horse down)
Had to stop the video at the 0:02 mark and just left it there. I will eventually get to the bag part. Okay. I will make one. Similar but not identical. I will make you proud Rivet brother.
👍🤘
You're an artist , I like your tools , they look authentic also I love your wonderful products :)
Thanks!!!
Holy mackerel! Love it. Also love Colonial Williamsburg.
Thanks for watching!! Cw is a gorgeous place !
Amazing work and design! this thing will be immortal!
It's amazing how much great minds think alike. I'm nearly complete with a design of my own that looks similar to this but is meant to carry two fifths safely. Making my strap this weekend.
Love it. Amazing work as always.
Thanks!
Sehr viele gut gezeigte Details. Danke dafür. Wertvolle Tips - auch für Fortgeschrittene. Am besten in Zeitlupe ansehen.
Wow! Again, amazing work. Thanks for sharing :)
Thanks for watching and commenting !
Beautiful! The bag, the execution, all of it!😉
This is like my third time watching it 😂
I really appreciate that!
I like the technique of using two straightedges .. thank you sharing your skills and knowledge
See my more recent videos. 11 tips to change your leather craft forever. And rulers.
And a new video coming out tomorrow!
Thanks for watching!
another amazing product. since i have found your channel i have seen just bout every vid. love the format, and you have renewed my interest in leather working, which i haven't done in over 25yrs. thank you Sir. 🍻
Thank you for that !
I keep clicking on your videos for the thumbnails but I stay for the work wish I had your skill brother I am definitely going to be getting into layered knife sheaths
Perfect! Thanks for watching!!!
Great Design!
Love the rivets and orange thread
Thanks!!
Absolutely love this design. I'm a huge fan of folding and making geometric cuts rather than sewing. Fuck sewing, hurts my wrists so much lol
👍
Another great video of an awesome design product
Thank you!
All of this is very impressive, but I really like that coffee cup.
Right ?!?!
Nice Work there Artie!
Thanks for the support and feedback!
Great work bro. Love the rivets
Thank you, sir!
Awesome
Great work
Great video.
Thank you for sharing 😀
Thanks!
Oh man. I was awake until sun up last night designing something similar. And today whilst having a lazy day I find someone's done almost the same thing. Years ago.
The differences are minor aswell. Mine is smaller and that's prob the most outstanding difference. That and I'm using recycled copper pipe flattened out in a couple of places and using copper tube for the handle over top of leather.
I just hope none of my clientele watch your videos haha.
I love copper and leather and wood.
This is a thing of masculine beauty.
My saving grace is im in Australia 😁
Thanks for watching!
Fierce portfolio! Dream!
This is amazing. Great work sir
Thank you!
Great job as always.
Thanks, Robert!
Awesome content!
Thanks!! Be sure to subscribe if you haven’t already!
Awesome. As usual
Thanks, Ryan!
Really nice! sturdy heirloom bag!
Thanks !!
13:00 sounded like the leather was mooing back at you 😂
Absolutely beautiful work...I have been looking for something like this for some time now. If I had a work area, I would possibly attempt to make one.
Thanks!!
You make such beautiful items. So glad I found your CZcams channel! Also video & editing is top notch.
What rivets and setting tools are you using? They look sturdier than the ones I use and much more pleasing to the eye.
Hey, Jessica! Thanks for watching! I use solid copper rivets. Sizes 14, 12 and 9, depending on project.
Как всегда , работа и подача на высоте !!!👍
Totally awesome!
Thanks for that! And thanks for watching!
wonderful video - everything is simple and intelligible. one question - how do you handle the edge?
Great job.
I just keep finding more and more awesome stuff being made by you. I thought you were wallet guy and then BAM!!!!!! Now I'm watching you making this beautiful piece! I wonder what else I'll find that will blow my socks off.
How many hours/days did it take for this?
Thanks for the kind words! That bag takes about 40 - 50 hours
you have such a great aesthetic
Aw! Thank you for that!!
As I fellow leathercrafter, respect how much money you dropped on copper rivets for this bag.
😆. Thanks!
Same. I did a bag like this but riveted the gussets, over 100 real copper rivets. I got mad respect for you using proper rivets. That a lot of work but we'll with the results.
Pure skills. Well done. Like in the Navy: BZ
Thanks!!
Beautiful!
Thanks!!
Love the video and the bag. I stumbled across your page about a week ago and have been catching up on older projects you've done. Look forward to seeing more in the future. On a side note, where'd you find that mug? It's pretty awesome.
Thanks for the support! The mug is an antique. My family used to own an antique store, so I’ll see a lot in my videos and photos
Really enjoy your work and following your videos...Funny, I've used MGD and Crown Royal to burnish edges as well lol...
Hey, wet is wet, right? Lol.
Thanks for the support!
Lol so true, keep up the awesome work and videos...
шикарная работа!!! руки золотые у тебя.
Translation- “gorgeous work !!! you have golden hands”
Thank you for that!
Daaayuuum ! Nice job as always
Thanks!
Портфель шикарен, а привьюшка бесподобна
Thank you!
Cool video man. Awesome bag. I see you have a copper rivet video linked. I'm going watch because I love that look. I used some other rivets to repair a sheath and i really didn't like them.
Thanks for watching!!
I've missed your videos and Chloe. Maybe time for another satchel with molded internal compartment for a Macbook Pro, I-Pad, Electronic pencil,, mouse and Flashdrive. You can call it "The Professor" or "The Koker". 🤣Thanks again for all your time. Cheers. TJ Koker.
I assume the plastic pieces put in the end tabs of the handle are to keep it from stretching? what is it that you're using? Thank you for all the time put into making these videos and sharing your knowledge.
Yes, extra support. It’s a floppy kitchen cutting mat. 😆
so much gear! you've got a real factory there. I've been doing a little repairing. Basically with a few punches and handstitching. What I'd love to ask you is "what allows a factory like il Bisonte, Hermes or Dooney and Burke, say, get so famous"? I know they use really top end leathers, but what do you think it would take to challenge them in terms of quality and consistency?
I’m a one man shop. And marketing is 85% of success. 14% is first class skill and leather craft. 1% is .... just do it
Ironworker Doug here;! Nicely executed;! Love your videos thanks ! Although I could not find where you got your halter snaps at ? I like those kind, I put them on my pouches I make for Ironworkers .
Linda peça uma obra de arte parabéns grato
English translation?
This Old LEATHER SMITH says VERY GOOD, GOD'S BLESSINGS ✝️⚾🙃
Thank you for that!
I love your work mate. Not just the leatherwork, but the editing style too.
Thank you! I really appreciate that! Your content is wonderful as well!
I like it! All hand sewing, no machine! How many hours of work?
Thanks! Yes, everything I do is hand stitched. This bag took 50 - 60 hours of dedicated leather work. To add the filming .... felt like 982 hours. 😆
As I was zipping through your videos, I didn't see one for a backpack.
Also, I noticed that you'd done a railroad spike knife. Would you be interested in some replacement hooks for your leather rack? I thought I counted 17 bars for your rolled leather. I'd be happy to replace those for you with some hand-forged ones, my only request is that you show us how to make a backpack. Oh, and if you could show us how to make an archers backpack that'd be even better. I suppose the difference between a regular backpack and an archers backpack is that you'd be able to carry arrows, too. So, incorporating some kind of quiver and not necessarily the round circle but rather something a bit more modern like what you'd put on a bow today.
You've got some quality work here! Great job! Let me know if you're interested.
I have 7 racks total. and 250+ hides of leather. 100's of hooks. Also, the knife video you mentioned was my son. Mason. "Mascon Forge".
That all being said, I don't need any hooks.
I won't be making any more bag videos any time soon. A 3 hour wallet takes 40 - 50 HOURS to film. A bag video takes 60 - 80 HOURS. I'm currently booked up with orders through April 2021, so I simply don't have the time to film long videos such as bags. I need to focus more time and attention to the orders on the books.
@@MasconLeather Makes sense. No worries. The quality of your videos is very high. I understand that time associated with recording/editing/producing videos, too, especially when I make knives.
If you get a moment and are interested, swing by my channel to see some of the work I've done.
Keep up the great work!
Will do !! Thanks for watching and reaching out !
Also your workshop space is impeccable!
Aw!! Thanks!! It’s always a work in progress. Oh.... rivet setting tools - my 17 year old son makes them. He’s on Instagram- @mascon_forge
How do you only have 68k subs?
50 plus hours to make , so your must change about 1500 per bag to make it worth your time. And how much for materials? Beautiful work
Close. All prices are on my website. And thanks for watching and for the kind words!
wow...amazing work. makes me want to learn how to make one.
Отличная сумочка!класс!
Hola. Qué grosor de cuero utilizas?
Too much ! Fantastic , Congratulations
Thanks!
This was a amazing video! May I aak how thick the horween leather was? It looked 3mm thick from the close-up.
Thank you! 5/6 oz
Mascon Leather Thank you! I’ve crazy horse leather at about 1.5 to 2mm. Hopefully it’s thick enough 👍
SIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIICK! Nice rack at the beginning! love your work brother!
Thanks!
Support
Thanks!!!
Thank you for oaths wonderful video, how may I oil and soften a satchel made of leather such as this one you made?
Thanks for watching! Neatsfoot oil is good but will darken the leather
I wish I had more success with those damn wooden strap cutters 😊
Mine is from Romanov tools. Much better than the “classic”
It took quite a bit of modifying on my cheap Tandy to get it to work well... I should have just pony'd up for a high quality one....
My wife and I love it in colonial. If we make it down again, do you do shop tours? I am looking into leather work.
No shop tours during these troubling times, unfortunately
@@MasconLeather completely understand
*20 minutes later* “oh it’s about making a bag!”
😆
bellissima...complimenti....!!!! dove compra queste belle fibbie, moschettoni...ecc
English translation please
Bravo From Norfolk- Well done and executed! A question if I might- are you using polyester or nylon threading?
Hello!! I use Ritza Tiger thread. 1.0mm
@@MasconLeather Nice- Thanks- Good colors- enjoy the runs- that area is awesome scenery- I like the Craig shop and the street near there!
Два раза пересмотрел! 👍
Holy cow. How many hours does this take you?! I’d imagine about 60!
That’s about exactly right. 55-65 hours of actual leather work. With other factors, usually two weeks
Awesome work. I was wondering the same. Thanks for showing us the process. I greatly appreciate it
I normally use 5-6oz latigo for my satchels in similar construction to this, do you think I could get away with using a 7-8oz or 8-9 veg tan?
Sure !
This is beautiful. With all the labor, I would value this at $600-800? Or more?
$3,000+
Excellent jod, as always. Where do you buy your Horween leather?
Thanks!! Tannery row or A&A crack and sons of England.
That’s an awful lot of work for a pencil holder man but hey, you do you 😜🤣 seriously though, that’s a fuckin awesome bag there. Good work
Thanks! And thanks for watching!
Green plexiglas to protect the chisels and pink high density insulation foam to protect the punches?
No. The green is a dense Japanese rubber made for leather craft. Pink is a self healing cutting mat.
Awesome, I love it. How thick is this leather? 7 oz?
5/6
