The last time we went to an LARP, we noticed a very particular need-a need for the materials to mend and craft the many costumes people were running around in! Our solution: The Bag of Mending! It's a simple and portable bag with all you need to repair those rips and tears you may pick up along the way!

Just a quick note: The time between applying the contact adhesive and then bonding them together is called "flash"... ex: "I applied the contact adhesive and waited for it to flash before bonding them together."

@AzraelThanatos Год назад

There are a few things that I would thing work as upgrades/replacements. The first being swapping out the button design for a pouch, which would make it easier to handle a lot more options with buttons and would be a lot less work and could carry more/more variety with easier access to them, and would allow space for things like larger beads that are often used in a lot of leather and other work but can come off. I would also add a spot for a marking tool of some kind for keeping things going, and one of the destitching tools, both to make repairs easy and to have them available. A charcoal pencil would be a good option for an easy marking tool that doesn't require work and is rather easy to clean off, but can mark on most things, and a destitching tool is something you can find in a lot of the cheap "repair" kits you can find and lets you get stitches out so you can have space to do some repairs with stitching...especially with things using waxed thread because you often need to remove a few stitches to have space to tie in the new thread for repairs. The other thing might be to get some oil cloth or similar thing that's more water resistant and work that in as a layer between the outer and inner edge, perhaps extended between pieces as well, to help protecting the kit...I've had several nice pieces wrecked by water getting in to the point where I went to hell with it and added plastic bags to protect things inside.

@jetblack337 Год назад

For the little leather hole punched parts you could make a throwable “bean bag” that looks like a fire bolt or some other small spell with a wizards book that holds them. Just a cool idea I think would be cool.

@SkillTree Год назад

GREAT idea!

@wlfwlker3704 Год назад

@jenniferwhite6089 Год назад

@thymewizard Год назад

The roll on the bottom would also be a great spot for some pieces of extra leather and/or fabric so you could make a quick patch or something like that!

@CalliopePony Год назад

For storing the needles it's very effective to use magnets! You can put a strip of magnetic tape on the back of the lining, and it will keep the needles secure. Also, if your primary use for the kit will be repair work you might want to add a seam ripper and a darning egg to the kit. Both are very useful tools for doing repair work since popped seams and small holes are such common mishaps.

@Nurk0m0rath Год назад

I haven't had much luck with magnetic needle holders personally. Needles tend to rotate or fly off whenever something knocks the holder around. I prefer a strip of fabric; just pop your needle tip down through the cloth two or three times and it becomes completely secure. A scrap of about 3" by 12" can hold a hundred needles and rolls up to less than an inch in diameter for storage, and can be held together by another needle (just end the point inside the cloth for safety) or a safety pin. That said, for just a few needles, I do really like his design, and I do agree about the thread picker and darning egg (or alternately, a few fabric patches to stitch on at need). He surely can't be wearing all leather without cloth underneath, so he should be ready to repair fabric.

@MitchellDowns Год назад

Loved this project. It reminds me of the toolbox that an apprentice carpenter would make to become a journeyman. Proper layout is as important as craftsmanship and this shows a lot of forethought. Great work!

A great use for the leather nubs is to place them into a rock tumbler to give a high polish to brass, copper, bronze, and bone items.

@adam346-q7p Год назад

Like I say at work "simple is hard." I'm a mechanical designer for a living and as surprising as it may sound, a simple thing to get the job done is hard to come up with then an over complicated solution. You never have to feel bad for long it takes to come up with a simple solution. The important part if you have the solution. I also agree the simple solution just fill you with so much joy, that anyone looking at it will never understand.

@Seiaeka Год назад

I love that you used scraps that you had on hand for this. I'm always frugal with my projects if I can be. I'm working on my first block-print, and rather than use new materials (like very expensive speedy carve I can't afford), I'm using some eva foam that's older than the gods themselves and foamcore board. I don't know if it will work, but that's what learning is about.

You could use the leftover leather nubs for decoration. If you glue them onto the surface of a project you could create a pattern of raised bumps, same as some people do with metal studs or rhinestones.

@karladenton5034 Год назад

LOL. This brings me back to my days 'adventuring'. There were weekends when my 'basket of mending' kept people from running around with some of their 'bits' hanging out. I was often the only person who had needle and thread! One idea on scissors, a button loop closure that goes THROUGH the finger loops. I used ribbons in my 'hussif' (which is exactly the same idea - a roll up or fold up repair/making kit except crafted of fabric).

@sanicksdraven7719 Год назад

for the leather hole punch pieces that are too small for anything, you can put them in the garden and they will decompose just like other natural products, it is good for the soil as it takes a little longer to break down, but very rich in nutrients. Works great.

@henryharrison5927 Год назад

Awesome build! A couple suggestions: 1) Attach the strap and closures before gluing on your inside lining, so they aren't visible when you open it. 2) If I were to make this, i would have made the strap that went around the box a little bit longer, and then just fastened it directly around the leatherworking suede roll. 3) I wouldn't store the pins inside of the pincushion, I feel like they'd come out too easily when shaking it and if you had a little strap for a plastic box of pins, you could probably fit more. 4) Last thing would be to add some weights at the corners of the wings so that if you unfold it on a table, it stays flat for you to work. How I would do this probably would be to put the weights between the two layers and thin the outer one a little bit to get a pocket with a bit more room. This last one is a little bit less feasible, since I don't have the box in front of me I can't tell how stiff the leather is (and thus, I don't know how much weight would be required to get it to lay flat). However, if it can be done, it would be a good addition. You probably could have fit one or two more things into the box, too, though I can't think of anything too important at the moment. Love your content, hope to see more cool things in the future!

Been binging your videos after finding your channel, and I love these projects ^^ An idea for those little punched nubbins of leather, you can use them to make part of the padding for a carry strap - specifically, the part you hold onto with your hands. A lot of 'just a strap' types of carrying methods can be uncomfortable. If you use it for a carry handle attached to a long strap with an adjustable attachment point, you could use it to help carry bundles of twigs or firewood easier.

Great project and video. As a fellow leather crafter I'd suggest a v-gouge instead of the French, it's a thinner fold line and doesn't require water to form. For the smaller boxes, instead of a razor use a stitch groover. The line will be more finished and less harsh since they're on the outer edge of the fold.

This could be scaled up to make a complete mobile leather workshop. It could be made as a backpack that opens up, and is hung on the wall.

If you make a pin cushion again in the future, a piece of steel wool instead. I found that some materials in pin cushions will actually dull your needles when using and pin cushions with steel wool in them help keep the needle sharper longer. Secondly, I would recommend adding safety pins to the kit. Safety pins can temporarily hold things in place till you finish your mend.

@Nurk0m0rath Год назад

Personally, I wouldn't use the leather nubbins to stuff the pincushion ... too tough. I'd stuff it with scraps of cotton or batting, either purchased or foraged, so I could stick pins inside without being worried that the point would skate off leather or get stuck in a piece. Cattail down and milkweed seed are two of the wildcrafted options I'm familiar with. As for what to do with the leather bits, I would make compost or just scatter them in the woods. Nature will reclaim them soon enough. As someone said earlier, make sure to include tools for fabric repair, whether you prefer darning or patching. It's really hard to avoid fabric when you're talking about garb, so you should be just as ready to mend cloth as leather. Great build though. It gives me some ideas for things to do myself.

Like in with your leather working tools maybe? Just an idea. Love the video! Great project! 🤩
