Here's what this brings to my mind... Make a larger version of this, then put a pair of shoulder straps on it. Then the alchemist/medic has an assistant/servant that wears this as a backpack. They just turn around when the kit is needed and it's already at the right height for working.
Consider that: the alchemist is much shorter then the assistant, so they(assistant) needs to kneel/get down a bit for the alchemist to be able to work standing. Just for comical effect ofc :v
Wow, that looks great! Two ideas though: - A herbalist/pharmacist would definitely need something to measure stuff, like a measuring cup, or spoons of different sizes - for extra wow effect, and that's true in general: baking soda makes bubbles when in contact with acidic liquids (lemon juice), and red canbage cooking water is a pH indicator (red is alkaline, purplish is acidic) There are even more wow-inducing, food-safe color transformations out there! (e.g. the clear syrup from lychee tin cans, and the dull red syrup from cane-apple tin cans, make a tasty, vibrant purple when mixed) Edit: I would not recommend mixing any of those with probiotics or IV powder though, it might deactivate them (well, you never know)
You can't "deactivate" liquid IV powder; it's just a bunch of metal salts, vitamins, sugar, and plant extracts. (And... really fine sand, to keep it from caking up in the package, which is a little odd to think about but whatever.) I can't think of any food-safe substance that'll break those down. Probiotics are a bit more finicky; best to keep those separate unless you actually know what you're doing - though, to be fair, they're supposed to survive your stomach acid plus whatever alcoholic concoctions you decide to drink afterwards, and retain inside your gut for several hours, so they must be somewhat tough.
@@Ithirahad If one is going to use a pregame drink, it should include Milk Thistle. It protects the liver from toxins like alcohol and it is used along with activated charcoal in cases of poisoning from alcohol and poisonous mushrooms. Perhaps include both in the kit, if the drink doesn't have them.
As I have a character that is not only an herbalist but also a brewer this makes me so happy. (Edit: she literally makes alcoholic health, strength, energy, etc potions. Dangerous but fun!)
@@Nienna_Asyare indeed. I found it very funny when I wrote her a while ago. “Bartender that on the sly heals you while you drink?” But as medicinal alcohols exist (very low alcohol content so the likely hood of you getting drunk before the medicinal part of it kills you is nill. There is such a thing as too much of a good thing.) in real life, to a limited extent (tinctures are one such example, so are bitters but we think of a bitter as a flavoring agent not a medicinal one) I didn’t feel it was outside the realm of possibility. Especially in a fictional or magical world.
@@elaniarkady7351 go for it! It’s an OLD idea. After all bitters and different botanicals have been added to brews, from weak beers to much harder alcohols, since brewing began. Granted for taste and preservation much of the time but also for medicinal reasons. Hops is actually a very good example of this as both a bittering agent in beer but also used medicinally. Also honey, used as both flavoring and medicinally today as well. There are archaeological evidences back to ancient Mesopotamia. There are also, in texts from the Tudor era to the Industrial Revolution, where house wives were actually taught how to make medicinals or add them to cooking or brewing. It’s only since the industrialization of our world that medicine has been the job of “someone else.” So to have a person who brews medicinally is historically accurate, though for the highly specialized or expensive treatments you probably would go to the closest church/abbey/monastery, but also fits in well with a fantasy setting, not everyone can afford the fancy healer but your local barkeep? Almost everyone can afford a beer. So again Go For It! Lemme know how it goes!
You should add a funnel of some sort so you can more easily get the powder into the bottles and keep everything neat and clean, because otherwise that powder is going to get everywhere. You can just make a funnel with the paper, but I highly recommend just having some sort of smaller funnel in one of the pockets on the go.
This is rad, I saw someone who uses a bag like this as a travel art kit! Could you imagine running up to a character for help, thinking they're an alchemist or medic, but then BOOM - oil paints! Tough luck buddy!
I recently finished a belt bag inspired by your videos. It's got nine pockets with a sturdy flap to cover everything, a loop for things to be hung from it, and a sheath between the belt loops for something like a knife. My next one is gonna be a custom lunchbox so I don't have to take my food to work in a grocery bag anymore
cool that he's using the magic disappearing pencil from his cloak of useful things build lol. I can imagine myself letting go of the pencil for a second, thinking about something else, and then frantically looking for my lost pencil 😆
I've been working on a store that sells little bottles with materials in them that can be used to make potions at larp. Each bottle comes with a little lore card with ingredient art on it. Granted, my products can't be consumed and are only for decorative/theatrical use, but eventually I want to do a line of my own edible materials too.
A traveling kitchen with spice vials. Herbal teas(sleeping potions)Espresso(revive potion) I’ve been making mini bunsen burners out of small tins and paraffin wax soaked rolled corrugated cardboard. Another winning idea!
If I remember correctly the Swiss medics bag was worn on a “A” frame harness and could be opened by another medic not needing to take it off, though it could also be worn how you have it. The Swiss had a lot of cool and intuitive ways to equip their soldiers.
I'm thinking sugar tablets... something to actually crush with the pestle. Safer and easier to carry than granulated. Or maybe sugar rock candy for "magical crystals"? And with sugar, you must also have tea leaves and a cool infuser I'm also thinking Gatorade drink powder in the little vials
If I ever get back into MTG this could be a great way to create a custom Draft Kit & Deck Transport Pouch. The back pockets could be sized for the standard cardboard deck boxes, along with space below them for tokens, roledown life trackers, and dice.
you can buy gatorade powder, they're very pale until they're mixed with water. lemon lime is basically white when dry, then turns the color you'd expect when wet
When/if I need to count the holes I punched to confirm I didn't mess anything up, I use leather sewing needles as reference points every ten or twenty holes so if I lose count I can quickly get back on track.
i like how he uses a magicians technique in a crafting sense to retract his pencil. so non chalantly and as if we wouldnt notice lol. i may be late to seeing it happen.... havent exactly watched him every day like i used to. dont know when he started doing that but really caught me off guard seeing that happen though. lol
@@SkillTree My wife and I made several Valet Trays for a Raffle Fund Raiser. I did the cutting and branding. She did the burnishing. The wife used a little water to start the burnishing process and then Tokonole to finish it. A glass slicker is clutch. When I mentioned Beeswax, she disagreed. Way too much work to get the amount of heat needed to melt the wax into the fibers, on a large surface.
I was thinking all through the video what I might store there... Tea parts like chamomile, mint, thyme, green tea. Honey, vodka, vinegar,baking soda, Zip fizz, alkaseltzer cold med, vicks, bullion cubes, sugar cubes, and bandaids (call it frog skins), maybe a sage roll to burn. Last mct oil for your coffee rig. That's to make bulletproof coffee. Great video.
When counting a lot of something count in chunks. Like, count to ten and mark each 10. Then you can just count up how many 10s you have and then whatever you have after that.
Yes, I'm gushing. This video is EXACTLY what i needed at just the right time! I made a template over Christmas break out of poster board almost the EXACT SAME SIZE! I was stuck on how to get my sides joined together, and you just showed me!
Some more fun & tasty ingredients would be powdered erythritol or xylitol (be careful around pets), citric acid and baking soda! Adding the citric acid and baking soda together with liquid will make it fizz, and adding the erythritol or xylitol as sweeteners will add a fun cooling effect! The 3 together in addition to the pearl dust should be yummy, fun & pretty!
I noticed when stitching by hand that you put one needle in at a time. I suggest to be careful with that as you run the risk of splitting your thread making those seams weaker. If you saddle stitch be sure to both needles in at the same time
Should try a wilderness harness! Just a Suspenders/Belt combo with pouches and different spots to hold tools. Made one myself and love the esthetic. Been curious about making one more LARP focused
Very well done! You've gotten quite good at Leather craft. The only suggestion I have is to add a strap with buckle to make sure it stays together snugly. I do love Sam Browne buttons, but if the leather gets more flexible with use they can pop out, and I'd hate to see all your potions scattered on the battlefield. Excellent job with both the design, and especially the teaching of how you came up with it.
Lol, you could take the Zbiotics before your first drink, Morning Recovery after your last drink, then Liquid IV when you wake up and cover all your bases!
This is amazing! So, of course, I went to eBay to find one. Damn, over $400 starting price for an authentic vintage Swiss Army one! I did find a couple of canvas/leather ones too. I think I may go that route as my hands may not hold up to all the leather work. But I’m intrigued to try this. Thanks for the inspiration!
That is actually a wonderful bag. You can custom design it for all kinds of things, as in even real life jobs things. A small tool electronics bag, pressiout metal testing kit, medical bag, special spice sets for cooking, flint napping tool kit, heck sky's the limit. Anything that requires small tools or vials this would be perfect.
Very tidy work. Well done. I made a open-and-unfold-flat leather "wallet" of sorts about 5-6 years ago. Using nearly identical small bottles (boiled out insulin vials) with whittled stoppers, one row of five on one side, one row of five opposite, stoppers facing each other, with leather strip sewn in (where you riveted) to hold the bottles like bullets. I use it for different seasonings for my food when I go camping. I'm planning a video to make a new one very soon. The old one was misplaced somewhere.
That would be awesome to make. I play as a shaman that does archery and my GF is a gypsy. I have a tent from when I was in the SCA that I made myself. I love watching all the new stuff I wish I could make.
@@SkillTree I'm wanting to try to make something like that bag. Have different flavors of the liquid IV and different colors of the pearl scent powder. So the powder can mean different things they are for.
this plus that portable brewing kit would be so powerful... though adding more scientific instrumentation would be an interesting thing [tubes for not just sublimation, but also crystallization, distillation, and various other tools to help with the process... heck a rag that you can drench in a certain temperature value water (hot/cold) to encourage reactions would be cool! Hope you have a great day & Safe Travels!
I have been doing leather for a couple years now, but I am never disappointed by your videos! I will be making this for my alchemist costume for Ren faires! As a side note, I also think this could easily make a fantastic RPG kit. It's got a doce rolling tray built-in as well as places to store all your goods. Anyway, nice work and thanks for the inspiration!
With the concept of hydration, maybe a way to incorporate a water filter would be good. Either an actual charcoal apparatus or just a Sawyer squeeze type of object wrapped in leather, lol.
Rather water the folds which will dry out. You could use something like neatsfoot oil. (in finland / Sweden we have something that translates to leather fat) that would prevent drying out cracking etc.
I would love to see your take on a fishermans backpack/tacklebox that you could store all your lures gear and pole. Think you would do a great job with that.
I just love the fact this actually looks like a real thing made somewhere between 1940's and 1900's or even below. If I ever do a character in a sort of fantasy ww1 or ww2 mix, it will definitely carry this one.
If you think about it, cooking/baking is alchemy. So, in that case, this bag and accoutrements could be used to hold/carry spices and other baking goodies. E.G., small bottles of salt, pepper, cayenne pepper, garlic powder and salt, oregano, and other spices. Along with liquid potions of Hot sauce, honey, BBQ sauces, lemon juice and whatever else you could think of. Add a small pack of sugar, and one of tea, or coffee and you have the very thing to have to "spice" up your meals while on a LARP!
Oooh, this could be useful for me, i might adapt it to something else than potion brewing tho, i might make it a "box of kitchen uttensils" Now i only need to figure out how to make a portable firepit
Fascinating design! Here’s an idea for furthering the overall concept: on the flap that goes flat once you open the bag; you could put in a battery powered heating element. That way you could serve warm to hot potions/drinks/food. Although you need to make an alchemical design in metal that will rest on top of the heating element to keep the theme.🤪
This project is really cool. Wish I had the time and tools to do this kind of project. Also waiting on that video explaining the diffrent types and weights of leather explained better. Found a place locally I can buy tanned deer hides with or without fur. So there are options for projects.
It would be cool if there was some sort of narrative to the videos that made it feel like a season or a means to an end like Clev did with costume ides and most recently specific LARP prep.
Hmm so this year I am drawing, well.gonna.try to improve my drawing abilities, next year I plan on getting into leather...and you sir are an inspiration!!! To actually make something so kool looking!
Helpful hint on counting holes from the world of knitting and crotchet. Use stitch markers! (they make stitch markers but paper clips or even a extra bit of thread will work) Count out 10's (or 20s) and put in a marker. This way if you do lose count you can just go back to your last marked 10 or 20 rather then starting over! Very cool project!
Love the bag! I saw a vid a while ago saying that it is better to always have the leather exposed to the edge rather than the thread as the leather is always more hard wearing, so when rather than wrapping the thread around (18 mins or so), I put a rivet for reinforcement. I think this might have been more against wrapping the thread all the way up the edge of a seam, but would love to know what you think of this.
OKAY! So Ive been posting my creations in the discord and I realized that if I make something like this for my leather working kit IT WOULD BE FREAKING AMAZING
Awesome project! I appreciate how much effort you put into, not just the builds, but also in presenting them in a great way. Some feedback you may appreciate is that I've noticed a decrease in audio quality over the last couple videos. I'm not sure if it's an equipment issue or maybe positioning.
Just a side note i know tandy leather has been the go-to for many of us but I recently placed an order with them since they are slowly closing stores to go to an online model. When I checked on the order progress I noticed they charged me extra taxes for Fort Worth crime and Fort Worth Transit. I don't live in Fort Worth so why am I being forced to pay these extra taxes that don't pertain to me? Keep an eye on any orders you make with Tandy's. Oh and I placed the order on a Monday and by Saturday it still haunt been fulfilled let alone shipped.
This is the perfect pattern for a D&D bag! Add some card pockets for mini character sheet sections and spell cards and use the top of the bag (or is it the bottom once it's open?) as a dice tray! Now I just need to set myself up with some tools so I can give it a try...

The alcohol in tinctures actually acts as a preservative as well as a carrier so they last quite well.
Oh that's a great concept and I've never heard of it ! With your permission i need to add that to one of my npcs, my players wiuld love it

If YOU were to make a bag like this... what would it be for?
For the smaller vials, you ought to also use some of the various powdered drink mixes just to add a bit of taste to it.
You should add a funnel of some sort so you can more easily get the powder into the bottles and keep everything neat and clean, because otherwise that powder is going to get everywhere. You can just make a funnel with the paper, but I highly recommend just having some sort of smaller funnel in one of the pockets on the go.
Could maybe make one out of horn, too, so it looks like it fits in universe?
Or use some kitchen silicone so it's crush proof
Great idea, I've seen small tin ones that would look antique.
Might I suggest also adding a small wax crucible and sealing wax and a stamp to seal your potion vials once made
Oooooo, thats a good idea! Adding a little set for sealing and decorating the potions as well!
I foresee many burnt finger tips in Kit's future with this idea.
This is rad, I saw someone who uses a bag like this as a travel art kit! Could you imagine running up to a character for help, thinking they're an alchemist or medic, but then BOOM - oil paints! Tough luck buddy!

"I'm sorry, I can't heal you. But I can paint you final moments to send to your family, will that do?"

Glad it was helpful! That is a great use for this design!
TSA Approved?
@@DonsArtnGames - as long as it doesn't contain liquids, should be fine if it's packed in a suitcase; probably not as a carry-on.
A traveling kitchen with spice vials. Herbal teas(sleeping potions)Espresso(revive potion) I’ve been making mini bunsen burners out of small tins and paraffin wax soaked rolled corrugated cardboard. Another winning idea!
I bet you could use instant coffee to make it easier on you, just heat up and dissolve it. Maybe some powdered creamer...
Yes yes yes, so damn cool. I really want to make one for my steampunk costume. Dude why are your videos always so inspirational and motivational?!?!?!
If I remember correctly the Swiss medics bag was worn on a “A” frame harness and could be opened by another medic not needing to take it off, though it could also be worn how you have it. The Swiss had a lot of cool and intuitive ways to equip their soldiers.
I'm thinking sugar tablets... something to actually crush with the pestle. Safer and easier to carry than granulated.
Or maybe sugar rock candy for "magical crystals"?
And with sugar, you must also have tea leaves and a cool infuser
I'm also thinking Gatorade drink powder in the little vials
21:38 If you want to make it easier to tear off, you can put it through the sewing machine (without thread) to create the perforations easier
That's a really good idea, I would have never thought of that. And you could change the stitch length as well to change how easily it tears.
If I ever get back into MTG this could be a great way to create a custom Draft Kit & Deck Transport Pouch. The back pockets could be sized for the standard cardboard deck boxes, along with space below them for tokens, roledown life trackers, and dice.
That's a good idea

Burnish the rough side of the veg-tan like you do the edges. It makes the backside of the leather look and feel much more smooth.

Rather water the folds which will dry out. You could use something like neatsfoot oil. (in finland / Sweden we have something that translates to leather fat) that would prevent drying out cracking etc.
Oh what the crafty eyes do see...and the ingenious mind does create...it's beautiful
I would love to have something like this during a larp!
This is so fluffing awesome 😊😊😊
I would love to see your take on a fishermans backpack/tacklebox that you could store all your lures gear and pole. Think you would do a great job with that.
I just love the fact this actually looks like a real thing made somewhere between 1940's and 1900's or even below. If I ever do a character in a sort of fantasy ww1 or ww2 mix, it will definitely carry this one.
Another very cool prop and more inspiration for relavant d&d characters who would definitely have stuff like that. Keep up the great work
I will rebuild it, i like the Idea so much ! I Also rebuild your fast leather pouch. keep going, i like your Work.
This is almost IDENTICAL to the pouch I'm designing!
That's a fantastic build. Really inspiring to work with leather more
If you think about it, cooking/baking is alchemy. So, in that case, this bag and accoutrements could be used to hold/carry spices and other baking goodies. E.G., small bottles of salt, pepper, cayenne pepper, garlic powder and salt, oregano, and other spices. Along with liquid potions of Hot sauce, honey, BBQ sauces, lemon juice and whatever else you could think of. Add a small pack of sugar, and one of tea, or coffee and you have the very thing to have to "spice" up your meals while on a LARP!
You would DEFINITELY be the favorite at the campfire
I've been using a coffee kit I made following your video for my "healing potion" station at a local LARP
Now I need to make this lol
So Cool! Can't wait to make one for Wedding Decore! -Mick
Thank you so much Clever! You always seem to have a video for things I want to make! As a larper and crafter, thank you so much! Keep it up!
There was me about to say it looks like a Swiss medic bag and there ya go, you guys improved it XD
Dude this is rad as hell
YOU'RE rad as hell!
23:29 That's a brilliant build. I may try this one in the near future. Thank you
It's awesome that you were wearing your robe of useful items while building this one.
Oooh, this could be useful for me, i might adapt it to something else than potion brewing tho, i might make it a "box of kitchen uttensils"
Now i only need to figure out how to make a portable firepit
Awesome build! But you know what alchemists always need? MORE POCKETS! Cool bag...
Loved this one!
Would love to see an episode for a tunic and one for a gambeson!
Fascinating design! Here’s an idea for furthering the overall concept: on the flap that goes flat once you open the bag; you could put in a battery powered heating element. That way you could serve warm to hot potions/drinks/food. Although you need to make an alchemical design in metal that will rest on top of the heating element to keep the theme.🤪
This is a fantastic idea
This project is really cool. Wish I had the time and tools to do this kind of project.
Also waiting on that video explaining the diffrent types and weights of leather explained better.
Found a place locally I can buy tanned deer hides with or without fur. So there are options for projects.
Please do more alchemist videos!
It would be cool if there was some sort of narrative to the videos that made it feel like a season or a means to an end like Clev did with costume ides and most recently specific LARP prep.
So cool! Actually, I've expexted that U will add laserwork with somw cool design to your notepad.
Hmm so this year I am drawing, well.gonna.try to improve my drawing abilities, next year I plan on getting into leather...and you sir are an inspiration!!! To actually make something so kool looking!
so cool & fancy
Helpful hint on counting holes from the world of knitting and crotchet. Use stitch markers! (they make stitch markers but paper clips or even a extra bit of thread will work) Count out 10's (or 20s) and put in a marker. This way if you do lose count you can just go back to your last marked 10 or 20 rather then starting over! Very cool project!
Those medic bags seem to be rather rare, even here in CH, the ones I found after a verry quick google go foe about 400 to 500 CHF...
Spacial recognition at work in this one for sure.
Love the bag! I saw a vid a while ago saying that it is better to always have the leather exposed to the edge rather than the thread as the leather is always more hard wearing, so when rather than wrapping the thread around (18 mins or so), I put a rivet for reinforcement. I think this might have been more against wrapping the thread all the way up the edge of a seam, but would love to know what you think of this.
OKAY! So Ive been posting my creations in the discord and I realized that if I make something like this for my leather working kit IT WOULD BE FREAKING AMAZING
Awesome project! I appreciate how much effort you put into, not just the builds, but also in presenting them in a great way. Some feedback you may appreciate is that I've noticed a decrease in audio quality over the last couple videos. I'm not sure if it's an equipment issue or maybe positioning.
Just a side note i know tandy leather has been the go-to for many of us but I recently placed an order with them since they are slowly closing stores to go to an online model. When I checked on the order progress I noticed they charged me extra taxes for Fort Worth crime and Fort Worth Transit. I don't live in Fort Worth so why am I being forced to pay these extra taxes that don't pertain to me? Keep an eye on any orders you make with Tandy's. Oh and I placed the order on a Monday and by Saturday it still haunt been fulfilled let alone shipped.
this would be perfect to mix with the the coffee kit u made lmao
This is the perfect pattern for a D&D bag! Add some card pockets for mini character sheet sections and spell cards and use the top of the bag (or is it the bottom once it's open?) as a dice tray! Now I just need to set myself up with some tools so I can give it a try...
I have been waiting for this build! Its epic!
YES! You showed me exactly what I needed to know to finish my pouch!
