Have you considered making a template out of cardboard or thick poster board? If you have several templates in different sizes (2-3 of each size as well) you can lay them on the leather and have a better idea of where to cut in order to get the most items from each hide. I use that method when cutting multiple pieces from 4x8 sheets of plywood. Great video by the way. Thank you for sharing. Im just starting out in leather work and that bag is the first thing Im going to make.

you don't want a hole in the middle of the pouch, especially just to mark the line. It's a tinder pouch, holes, even little ones, let in water. there's no point in making a cardboard template if you're only making a couple, and different sizes. I use this method all the time, it's very versatile. Cool pouch I love the way it stands up like a basket I'm going to make one for sure.

Seeing this video again i came up with another question When you put the leather string in the pouch and switch (in-out-in-out-, eventually when you reach the final hole you'll have to get both ends at the outer part of the pouch. but what if your cord ends up inside the bag instead of outside the bag? Do you make an extra hole?

This is an incredible project, Mike Thank you. I have two black leather pouches that contained other items ordered from Amazon. They are so useful for spare batteries, BICs, battery charger for my cell, etc. I was going to go out and buy more pouches but now after seeing this video I will make them.

If you make a disc from cardboard you can then see easily how best to mark the leather, just draw round the disc which can also have the holes for the cord already marked so marking the leather becomes a piece of cake: )

Just a little idea. Start by making a cardboard template using a compass. 1: it is easier to find the optimal place for you circle. 2: Its a lot easier to draw the circle on the leather

How often do you have to oil/grease the leather pouch and cord? so the leather remains its strength, durability and waterproofness? Greetings from Belgium, loved the video

It might be worth mentioning that you will need an even number of holes punched around the perimeter, so that the tag ends of your lacings are on the outside edge of your pouch.

watching your videos have been very helpful, entertaining, and inspiring. I really like the way you don't take yourself too serious and you are very helpful and detailed.

Why did you put it not on your outside of the leather? You had place to go more to the left. But at all its a great and easy way to do this. thanks for showing us
