So yesterday, a friend asked me, what is a leather project you want to make, but can't right now? I had me thinking. What thing do I really want to make, before I die? And how do they compare or differ from other craftmen?
So here is my list. In no order.
A Hermes bag. Maybe a Birkin. Just to go in the class of some of the best craftsmen of history.
A leather box of some kind. Have a woodworker make the frame ect. Have it perfectly made. to fit stuff. Like the Old Louis Vuitton and Hermes.
A box like this. Japanese perfektion at its best!.
Some other thing include. Horse tag, Bridle work. A weekend bag.
Im sure my list will change. I have yet to make one bag or box, so there high on my list :D
Please share some, of what is on your list! NB: Can´t promise I won't steal some of your stuff :D
There are three things I'm going to make when I get more experience, skills and tools :)
1. Long zipper wallet for my wife( I can make it now, but it wont be nice and clean like this on the photo). Also, my wife is asking me to add tooling elements :)
2. Tote bag like this -
3. And a messenger bag like this -
There are so many things to learn!
