My latest project: leather haversack

I have found that to get the gear you really want, you often have to make it yourself.

Oil tanned leather, saddle stitched by hand, hand peened solid brass rivets, eyelets and paracord for external attachment of knife and mesh radio

This will now be my daily carry bag.

Love a Missouri company! I am trying to tan the 3 hides I just got from the butcher

Post your results when you finish it. I'd be interested to see your process.

Cool! I got a roll of leather from them sitting bundled up in my room to this day, i thought it make a wallet out of it, never got round to it wishing I did๐Ÿ˜

Nice job ๐Ÿ‘

this is what I'm talking about about!

you have to make your own or get someone to custom make you the goods you want in your life.

most big box stores and manufacturers do not have your needs in mind. they are looking to produce a halfway passing decent product with as many cost cutting measure as they can muster without pissing the consumer off.

youll find the need to make extends well beyond gear in to food, homes, everywhere really.

True

Awesome

That's fucking cool. I need to learn to make bags. I never made anything like that.

Do you know how much time you've put in this?

Thanks.

This was my first real bag. I started with a free pattern from a YouTube video, and I added several lashing loops and used a completely different strap design.

I've worked on it about every evening since Saturday, so probably close to eight hours altogether.

Handmade things made with precision and passion and high quality materials are always the best. Nice to meet you friend ๐Ÿ˜‰๐Ÿค

Very nice

Incredible workmanship.

Are you selling these?

I made this one for myself, but I was contemplating making another one and posting it for sale here on Nostr, but that will be when and if I have the spare time to do it. I have several farm projects lined up for the next few weeks.

Cool! Let me know if you decide to sell them. Iโ€™m trying to collect bitcoin-accepting businesses here https://btcaccepted.org. Would love to add you!!
