I'm honestly floored. This is the first video of yours that I've watched (not to be the last) and you're an incredibly skilled maker (it seems to run in the family, if this is the shop that you grew up around) at such a young age. This is a very well thought out interpretation of Adam's bag, and everything was done to such a high calibre of quality. This deserves way more views than it has. Keep up the awesome work!
Hello Mel. Thank you SO much for the comment and for checking out my video. I really appreciate it your feedback! The more videos I do, the better the quality of them seems to get.... so this is one of my best (and most recent video). As for the bag and the construction of the project; yes, it helps to have access to a full sewing shop and and Dad that could help me along the way when I needed it :) Thanks again!
Love love love this! It looks so crazy good!! And I have some serious sewing machine(s) envy right now, haha. That edge binder is amazing. Must have been great to spend some time in your dad's shop!
My husband just finished this bag and it looks great. Your video was a HUGE help along the whole process and saved us some questions and potential frustrations. I own a sewing studio and now I feel I need a bar tack machine and some of those other machines you have in your workshop. Life goals. Thanks for your great video!
So much respect for your attention to details, what a gorgeous result. I'm making rounds on all the RU-vid EDC bag tutorials to gather inspirations and insights to make my own. Thank you for the video. I didn't even know there's a machine dedicated to bar tacks!
@@MakeWithMiles A few people have asked me if I want to venture into RU-vid, and I'm seriously considering it. Filming and editing are so foreign to me, I just don't know how to start. Your videos are so nicely made. It's really inspiring :)
I think I ended up watching this about 20 times while I made mine. I've just uploaded a video about it and honest I don't think I could have done it without your video. Thank you so much for sharing!
Awesome job, I started too at my fathers shop at age 14 as a hobby after school I ended up graduating from design school for clothing at age 19 , I'm 47 now and still enjoying this profession keep it up
Wow! Just wow! Turned out super great! I’m going to start one tomorrow in leather, looks like I have a real challenge in front of me! Truly awesome dude! 👌🏼
Nice build Miles! I love the video, very well done. I appreciate the link to supplies and the excellent comments you made all throughout the build. Very nice indeed! Thank you!
Good job on the EDC bag and a very good video production. Keep learning your fathers skills they will serve you and prosper you your entire life, even if they are not your chosen profession for income. Never stop learning new skills.
I’m kinda new to sewing and really learning a lot from videos. Planning to make the panel hat and this bag. You do a great job explaining and showing steps.
Get your Dad on RU-vid, if he isn’t already. Clearly an amazing design mentor to you, but some of the expert insight (binder feeder attachment) is mind blowing. If not his own channel, more sewing vids.
This is such an amazing video. Thanks so much! I'm working on making mine out of waxed canvas that I'm making myself. This was a very helpful and entertaining video
It turned out great, thanks for the video. I bought the kit, and am going to attempt it soon. I like the materials that you chose, I’ll hopefully do something similar. That bar tack machine is awesome
Thank you Justin! This is the first video that I've shot with the Panasonic GH4. My dad has a few older full frame Nikon lenses that I am using with a cheap lens adapter. Th This means that everything has to be shot in manual settings (focus, aperture and shutter speed). I really need a wide angle lens but that's going to have to wait until I've saved up more money.
@@MakeWithMiles well it looks great. Saving is the best way. Never borrow if you help it. I was going to buy the gh5 but I bought a Canon 6D mkii instead. Man that was a mistake. I may sell it and get the gh5. Not sure yet.
I have an earlier version of the camera, and wide angle is a bit of a problem with full-frame lenses, so you either get a wide-angle made for the camera, or find one of those front-of-lens converters, does the opposite to a teleconverter. It depends how wide you want to go, but a good converter would reverse the effect of the smaller sensor in the camera. A lot get made for modern digital cameras and lenses, but it looks hard to find one from the 35mm film era, and I have no idea which would be better.
This was cool! I'm learning to sew and I want to make a bag like this. I just made some skillet handle pot holders (been burning my hand on cast irons)
Nice work. Great attention to detail and commitment to see the project through. Real curious about your Dad, there are only a handful of guys doing what he does, with that kind of shop. I'm putting together that he might be at working with, or affiliated with Patagonia on some level? I've also got a shop with a dozen machines working as a designer of gear and apparel, but also have been repairing them since college. Would be great to learn more about his business. If possible, send him my info or message me... I'm in Washington state, been working in the outdoor industry since the early 90's. My feeling is that him and I might know each other or have close friends in common. Thanks -jason
Hi Jason, Thanks for the message and for checking out my video. Check out my Dad at @mtn.soles.outdoor.threads on instagram for what he's up to in his shop. Yes, he's had a very long relationship doing repairs for Patagonia. He worked in outdoor retail in the late 90's and early 00's.
@Jason Ling Yes, we know Peter. He worked for my Dad for about a year before he moved to Santa Cruz and my Dad introduced him to some of the folks at Patagonia.
Great work. Awesome video. Could you tell me the name of the weights you use to cut out your fabric? I have seen them a couple different times and can never find them. Thanks
Your family obviously has a background in creativity. Go chase a masters in sociology, go dive the oceans as a marine biologist, Hell even fly to the moon… But whatever you do don’t shy away from your creative genius. Not many people your age can work with their hands like that, and have the forethought to take some of the steps you chose. Who knows.....you might end up in woodworking, blacksmithing, hell maybe even cutting stones and casting jewelry. those skills belong in the creative arts.
