Making a Weekender Bag 

Top shelf brother! Tremendous craft and excellent production. Will definitely follow.

Hell yeah, didn’t know you were over on RU-vid. Been rocking my Das Offene Meer Houbei for roughly 5 years now and no wallet has come close to replacing it. Best of luck to you!

This feels so much more authentic than other channels. Love your craft man keep it up.

Great job Sir and I applaud your eye sight. I would not be able to lay down any straight stitches without a brighter light right above the sewing needle.

Off topic, but I can't quite figure out what's written on the right hand's fingers...

That was very interesting to watch. A great craftsman.

Craftsman doing their work is always a pleasure to watch. Kudos, you make excellent leather goods.

I know he’s traced the cut lines well, but damn…the way he free-hands those very long cuts without a straight edge is amazing!

Love the sound of the leather, sewing machine, blade and the end product

Loved going to Italy and to the leather market. But I love seeing how it’s made more. I wish I had the skill to do this. Amazing work. I want one.

saw your stuff on reddit the other day and admired it. you do excellent work. thank you for sharing your process video!

Awesome work man, well done! Every time I make something similar I argue with myself if I should add lining, piping & binding or not. It makes a difference, but it also pretty much doubles the work, and then good luck finding someone to pay for my time. People just don't understand how long those things take if you want them made properly. In the end I only do it if the bag is for me or someone I love :)

Love to see great American craftsmanship.

Is there any chance you might adapt this duffel into a smaller briefcase? Beautiful bag.

I love watching how you work, and the products you create. For a bag like this, which you have clearly put a lot of time into getting the production process dialed in, how many hours of labor is in each one? Do you make them in batches and sell what you have on hand, or do you make each one only when there's an order for it?

Gorgeous bag.

Very nice. Obvious you really know your stuff. Awesome bag.

Fantastic video! This has all the right stuff to go viral. ASMR was a great choice. Keep it up bro.

Most people will see a bag. I see a whole side of leather. You definitely get what you pay for. Great craftsmanship.

Awesome! Been working up the courage to try and make a weekender bag myself! Love these types of videos. You wouldn't happen to have a video where you make bags with a liner would you? Liked and subscribed!

Great video Mike! They are very therapeutical.

I just came here to check out the guys tattoos. They are good.

So cool watching you work! Is there a way that I can get that pattern?

Loving these videos man! Got me wanting to start really filming the craft again. Keep up the awesome work!

Absolutely beautiful bag. 💼

Will this be available on the website or is this a one and done because I’m interested.

I already see how this is going ❤❤❤

beautiful work and beautiful bag, but I probably cost more in time, supplies(leather) than if you bought a similiar bag already made ?

You can already tell its gonna age beautifully ❤

I'm a proud owner of one of your wallets. I can only imagine how great this weekender will be 🤘🏻

Very nice job! I’m curious, what is the clear cutting mat on your bench made of?

Beautiful piece

Beautiful work ! What brand double sided tape are you using ?

Very nice bag! What is your cutting surface? Can’t find exactly what it is and if its better than self-healing mats. Thanks!

Excellent work, but that's got to be one expensive bag.

You sir are a master craftsman.

Love the product, love the focus. What leather did you use (weight specifically, but tannery if you didn't mind).

beautiful!

incredible 👏 👏 👏

와~ 가방 만드시는 모습이 너무 멋져요😊

Man I wish I had a sewing machine.......lol

....👶🍼....A SUPERP ARTISAN OF MOUNT OLYMPIA...! A BAG MADE FROM A LOVING HEART...! ❤👏👏👏🥇👍👍👍🌟

Hey sir, thanks for the cool video. Can I ask what thread and needle do you use for your machine ? Where do u recommend getting great quality hardware other than buckle guy? Thanks !

Sorry for the simple question, but I’ve been marking my cutout lines with an awl and it’s very difficult to see with my sketchy eyesight. What is the skinny pen/marker you’re using to mark your layout lines. It seems very visible, compared to what I’m doing and it looked like you were able to erase some of those lines with no residue. Ty in advance.

Сам занимаюсь кожей и тоже дорожные сумки шью, отличная работа друг.

Fine looking bag sir. 👍

Epic work

Top notch nice work bro😊

Wooow great video

Any chance you have plans to share a template for this one?

My mans surgical with that skiving knife.

I’ve never used my Japanese knife backwards but whatever works, right?

Hello hello! It’s been a while…just getting back into it after almost 2 year layoff, bad, bad back injury.

Nice work. I get distracted w the arm, hand tats tho💪

Just what we need another mute leather worker
