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.
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.
Thanks for the inspiration , gonna make one for my daughter......for some reason I've got the song raindrops keep falling on my head Stuck in my head now 😊
All of your recent cool leatherworking projects have inspired me to give it a try. First instinct is to go down the rabbit hole finding tools. This is going to be fun. Cheers
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.
This was excellent. As a longtime wood butcherer, I have been wanting to change things up with more leather, steel, copper, brass and glass mixed in. I might just have to give something like this a try.
Just started getting into leather working and a new Diresta leather video!! Great timing! Love the different way you do things such as the brass rod for stability. Always an Inspiration.
Nice bike accessory! I like the leather projects you've been doing lately. However, I think the cool bike needs something else, maybe some Diresta made ape hanger handlebars with a Diresta made bicycle bell. Now that would be cool! 😁
Jimmy, definitely picked up a few good ideas/techniques from this video. BUT....I think you need to design and build a cruiser now, a bike. There is room for art, style and design.
That looks absolutely great. And its big enough that with the money in your wallet you might be good for at least 2 trips to the grocery store.with it.
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.
What a coincidence! I have a bike very similar to this! Same handlebars, same 3-speed Shimano gearbox, 4-spring saddle, counter brake... Only the frame is a little different. I really liked the work and the video! A hug from Brazil. 👍😎👍
Always great content! I can watch you make things all day! Your step by step is always a big help. I love that bag and love your leather work. I need to put leather working tools on my Christmas list lol. Thanks for sharing
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.
Nice work, sir. I had been thinking the last few days of making a new tool bag from leather as I seem to keep punching holes in the ends of my cordura bags that come with those drills, yet the box systems are all too large for me to use for the places I can stash those tools in my truck. You have renewed the idea.

Fabulous Edwardian ambiance to it: A world without plastics & for the rich elegance in all things. Lovely job, thank you for sharing!

Leather is great to play and get started.. it’s very forgiving with mistakes thank you!
@@jimmydirestaafter all this years -as a Greek- I can equate you with mythical King Midas.
Every time I watch one of your videos, I think to myself, man, I really need to step up my game!

Actually, you need to think inside the box. Or bag. Or…box bag in this case. Leather case that is.
*I WANT ONE!* That would look great on my Specialized Diverge.
And yes, I'm serious. I want one.
Or my Specialized Crux 👍😀
@@jbratt Nice!!!! 🚲😍
Absolutely gorgeous.
And I love how you used the metal rod to stiffen the opening.
Love your work Jimmy! Let's make a pair of boots next!
Classy! I really like the combination of walnut + leather + bright brass buckles.

❤
The comfort and ease of operation highlights the mastery on display here. A process as beautiful as the result.
Who know you were a saddle maker? You're amazing Mr. Diresta.
Great idea. I would add a handle (like a briefcase) so I could take it into work with me after I lock up the bicycle. 👍👍
Excellent! What a talent you are Jimmy!
That is too classy! Love it, Jimmy!
Thanks for the inspiration , gonna make one for my daughter......for some reason I've got the song raindrops keep falling on my head
Stuck in my head now 😊
Butch Cassidy and the Sundance kid!
I can see that being useful for hiking as well! Love it!❤
I think you are getting really good at this leader work. Thanks for sharing Jimmy.
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.
beautiful bag Jimmy. You are the best. The bench you made in Manhattan, I had to go sit on it because I think you are my hero.
I’m very impressed with your craftsmanship once again! Leather is timeless ! Great project, thanks for sharing!
LOVE it. Beautiful work Jimmy!
I love the simplicity and classic design. Thanks for sharing!
Is there anything you can't do? Love the no nonsense approach of your videos...
Absolutely beautiful work!
Again Excellent ! I like all your projects, but especially when you do leather. Cheers my friend.
You make such brilliant things.
It's a privilege to watch 🙂⭐
Bag turned out beautifully. Amazing work as always
I half expected two things: a thumb-operated bell at the end, and Jimmy to toss a burrito into the bag before riding off... 🤣 Great leatherwork Jimmy!
Beautiful work, Jimmy!
Very stylish saddlebag. Love it
I love the sound of leather ❤
All of your recent cool leatherworking projects have inspired me to give it a try. First instinct is to go down the rabbit hole finding tools. This is going to be fun. Cheers
very nice. love the satchel. just add a flask for the cool days and nights.
As long as I can put a couple of beers in there, it's good.
@@RealWattagelighten up francis
Way cooler than a milk crate 😅
You are a master craftsman, an inspiration.
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.
Every time I watch one of your leather videos I think I can do that! I still haven’t but you have given me the confidence to try it!
In my town ..
The bag would get lifted and the bike would stay .
Friggin Beautiful work Sir .
Videos like this make me wish Weaver was based in the UK.
That must have been movie money..😂😂🤦🏻♂️ beautiful build, Jimmy!🔥💪🏼👍🏻
Classic bike bag. Love how it turned out. I think the bike needs air in the rear tire 😉
Absolutely fantastic! l always get some form of inspiration from you. Thanks for taking the time to share!
Accessory from a different era !!!
I have that same razor knife! It’s been my absolute favorite knife to date. People really underestimate the usefulness of replaceable blades.
Nice work. That would look great as a side bag on a horse.
O profissional mais completo do mundo! Parabéns daqui do Brasil Jimmy!
You make me smile Jimmy. Nice bike you got there! Cheers 🇨🇦
This was excellent. As a longtime wood butcherer, I have been wanting to change things up with more leather, steel, copper, brass and glass mixed in. I might just have to give something like this a try.
That is soooo cool! Makes me want to go out and buy a bike!
Hi Jimmy beautifully done good job well done
Very cool. Only thing I would add is either Brad nails or screws all the way around.. That glue won't hold very long.
Beautiful, Jimmy! Really amazing work! 😃
Stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊
Love how that looks!!! Nicely done jimmy
Thanks Jimmy! ❤
Great looking accessory. Nicely done.
Just started getting into leather working and a new Diresta leather video!! Great timing! Love the different way you do things such as the brass rod for stability. Always an Inspiration.
So cool!!! Beautiful work.
Great job Jimmy! thanks for the video!
beautiful piece, outstanding craftsmanship... I'd love to see bicycle handles and seating made from same leather, would match nicely
Terrific Jimmy & I really like the way you used the combo of wood & leather! Well done! 👍👍
Love it! This has been on my list of things to make for quite some time, will be using your design as inspiration for sure🙌
I really enjoy the leather work? Good quality stuff.
Beautiful design jimmy
What a great idea. I will definitely do that.
Nice bike accessory! I like the leather projects you've been doing lately. However, I think the cool bike needs something else, maybe some Diresta made ape hanger handlebars with a Diresta made bicycle bell. Now that would be cool! 😁
I like it a lot,thanks for all your efflrts😎🤗😎🤗
Cool bag and cool bike! Nice work man you just keep getting better and better with your leather work.
Great little project. $100 bucks easy if you purchased in a retail establishment. Another fantastic Diresta video.
Likely quite a bit more, since I've seen leather duffel bags over $200
Edit: Tote bags with neither buckles, nor wood, nor adjustable straps...
Thank you!
I use brass nails and glue to attach leather to wood, looks good
That white glue must be mighty. Very enjoyable job mate, thanks for showing us.
Jimmy, definitely picked up a few good ideas/techniques from this video. BUT....I think you need to design and build a cruiser now, a bike. There is room for art, style and design.
Next episode please make a bike to go with the bag 😅❤ you never disappoint
Looks like somewhere some St. Bernard dog 🐶 should be wearin that ! Cool design Jimmy
Jimmy: the only man in the world wearing a loose strap Rolex while working in the workshop!
Well thought out, nice job.
That looks absolutely great. And its big enough that with the money in your wallet you might be good for at least 2 trips to the grocery store.with it.
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.
Great video. Love seeing all the other stuff on Jimmy's bench too. Very cool build. Exra Fancy. Mahalo for sharing! : )
Unibomber rode a bicycle everywhere and strangely looks a lot like my buddy jimmy. Coincidence? Maybe.
Another cool project man!
beautiful bag
Thank you my friend
What a coincidence!
I have a bike very similar to this! Same handlebars, same 3-speed Shimano gearbox, 4-spring saddle, counter brake... Only the frame is a little different.
I really liked the work and the video!

Great work
Coolest bike in town now!
Looks good and always interesting to see you experimenting.
That looks great.

You are a simplistic master of creation! Great work once again. Although you lookin mad sus towards the end there haha

Wow, this is awesome! 😎👍

Beautiful!
My dream job is to be in charge of stenciling jimmy's name on everything he owns.

well made, very nice work
That would look great on the front of a Harley, Jimmy!
So cool Jimmy!
I would like to see a holster made with that Diresta flair.
That's really nice!!
