MAKING A HANDMADE LEATHER SATCHEL

I wish I could see this bag in 50 years… I bet it would look gorgeous all worn in and used.

All these people coming at you about the “handmade” must not know how mass produced products are really made. Awesome video as usual, awesome product as usual. You inspired me a few years back to buy my first leather tools (Amazon special 😂) and I have enjoyed it ever since - just started upgrading to some higher quality Barry king type stuff this year. You are an inspiration to so many people, keep rocking on🤘🏼

Very strange that people think using tools makes something not handmade, nothing is handmade if you go off that logic. Good work as always!

Leather is a incredibly tough material and in some cases machines can produce a better finished part than human hands can. The machines in the beginning of his video, the punch and skiving machine can produce a more consistent piece than doing it by hand. I see no harm in trying to make the end product as perfect as possible. It’s obvious that the maker assembled this piece by hand with superior results. This bag is heirloom quality that will out live us all and will be passed down to future generations. You just can’t ask for more than that. Job well done!

You and My Mechanics are my favourite channels to watch as they're just a master artist at work and nothing more. I could never afford what you charge for your creations, but you deserve every cent of it. I'm glad I get to at least witness the process. Incredible work my dude.

oh, and one more side note - the film-making looks to be massively improved also, not that anything was bad before; this just seemed brighter, better colour-corrected and composed as a whole ✌ 💛

Don’t care what the comments say. Everything about what you did is handcrafted. Machines are meant to be used as tools just like your basic tools. You’re using your hands to produce quality work and that there my friend is why you’re successful.

Please share videos more often and make them longer. It's a pleasure to watch you. thanks  

I remember watching the uncharted video in the attic years ago when I was wanting to get started in leather. Ive got a halfway decent leather shop now that’s strictly hobby and you continue to inspire me. Watching you work never gets old.

Absolutely beautiful work as always - so great to see you posting videos again Ryan!

Awesome to see you back! Beautiful bag!! Love the process

Great piece of craftmanship, and I can't understand why anyone would complain about this not being handmade - it absolutely is and all the important parts were completed by hand and by focusing all attention on one product at a time!

So clean and tidy, very inspiring to watch. If I could only be this good! Thank you for sharing.

Beautiful workmanship!!!

I am totally impressed with the craftsmanship of this satchel. Outstanding! I just love these kinds of videos. I've been taking a sewing class to learn about how these things are done. We live in an age where everyone wants things mass produced. But you can't beat a hand crafted object. This is why I'm taking classes about sewing. I want to get into making appulstery for sailboats and Bimini tops and dodgers for boats. But I'm fascinated by other yhings that are in different fields. I would like to add these things into what I want to do. These innovations that you can introduce into a different field will set you apart from the rest. Not to mention that you are on your own with no boss yelling at you to produce more to justify his wages! Great job, you do exceptional work and quality.

Wow, you are an incredible artist ~ you brought this piece to life and I am in awe! Loved the video, especially the sewing sounds!

So glad to see you back with some more long-form content! Beautiful bag!

This is so beautiful, what a wonderful craftmanship!

Just want you to know that that is amazing work you’re doing and one of the reasons I wanna get into leather work is because of you. Thank you very much for your show.

GORGEOUS! I love watching you work. Such an enjoyable thing to watch.
