In this video I make a roll saddle bag from walnut and leather for my bike! All the leather and hardware is from Weaver leather supply. www.weaverleathersupply.com

You make these non woodworking crafts seem very approachable where I might not have ever considered leather work. Thanks for sharing. I have been looking forward to seeing this since you mentioned it on the Making It podcast.

For some reason when I make something out of leather, I think the whole thing has to be made out of leather. Seeing the walnut sides reminds me that I'm not thinking outside the box. I need to stop limiting myself. Thanks Jimmy. Be safe, keep making, and stay awesome.

Another great project. Very thick leather. Make a strap and put it in the bag. Then you could take it with you if you went shopping or dining.

Very nice! I imagine some people might wish to add a quick-release mechanism to the handlebar attachment so they can just take the bag with them when they reach their destination.

Old wood and leather bags had a small pocket chiseled along the inside face with holes facing the edge so you can get the wood and leather sown together.

I have a dream. To put a Jimmy Dresta brother and his workshop at the beginning of every street in every country in the world. In this way, we would have a place where residents of all ages could get inspired, dream, learn something, seek advice, have fun and laugh, take shelter when afraid, and the world would be more beautiful, life would be more livable. Jimmy we love you. Lots of love from the city of Samsun, Turkey.

@calholli6 ай бұрын
One thing that I would iterate is to space your slots the same width as your strap.. Then it gives it a symmetrical square shape where it loops through, but more importantly: it insures that you don't have a weak point; it makes sure that the strap between your loop hole is at least as strong as the strap itself. Or you could even go a little wider. I just wouldn't have it smaller than the width of the belt. Just a thought. Cheers.
