Round Leather Bicycle Bag DIY
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 26 мар 2020
- Making a simple leather tool bag for my bicycle that mounts under the saddle. Easy and relaxing project I was able to make in my apartment with limited tools in this lockdown period. Leatherworking is always fun and enojoyable to me! I decided to limit punched holes to minimum so I don't bother neighbours and got a decent result with drilling with 1.5mm bit and enlarging with thick needle/awl on the hand held drill. I used thick and un-finished leather for the side caps because it holds the shape way better than the thinner one I used for the rest of the bag.
If you are doing something like this you need to figure out a mount solution as most likely the way I did this is not applicable to all saddle.
For those asking where to find tools:
I bought mine some years ago when I was starting to make leather sheaths. I went for the cheapest I was able to find. Have been working great so far! Can't find exactly the one I have but I listed some in my amazon storefront that are pretty much the same and any similar ones will work aswell.

Index of operation and materials:
0:20 For measurements I used width of the saddle and diameter of the bottles I had
0:35 Round corners for the opening
1:00 Mark and cut circle for sides, leaving extra material on the edges
1:40 Wet leather can be formed easily, when dried it will retain the shape
2:30 Beveler tool used to chamfer leather edges
3:20 Two latches are used to secure the bag under the saddle
3:50 Fork punch used to mark position of stitch holes, then drilled and sized with awl
5:20 Cut slots to pass the latches through the bag
5:50 Contact adhesive to secure sides and main piece togheter
6:55 Trim excess leather with Maker Knife
7:30 Bevel inside circle and round all the edge to make it look nicer
8:00 Dark Brown leather dye used to stain un-finished leather and all edges
9:00 Groover used to mark position of stitches
9:20 Fork punch leaves mark to space stitch holes
9:55 Drilled holes are then enlarged and burnished with awl in hand held drill
10:00 Rough side of the hole is sanded down and re-finished with dark brown dye
10:30 Waxed thread, going over the edge externally just for the look of it
12:00 Badge is textured with alchool to remove original finish, then sanded to add texture and re-finished with brown dye
12:35 Branding iron is used to hot stamp my logo
12:50 Matt leather finish applied to seal everything
13:00 Badge is glued with contact adhesive over the latch stiches to reinforce the area
13:30 Two leather strip are cut to lengh and width to be used as bag lock
14:10 Simple buttons hold plenty enough for something like this, I would have liked to try a more unique lock but nothing cool and doable came to mind.
Thanks a lot for watching, I hope you liked the video!

Super nice work! On the saddle rails, for new saddles, sew one side of the rail pieces and use snappers on the other like the pouch straps. Again sir, superb work! Did you whip stitch the ends or did i see it wrong?
Great video 👌😊💯🌹
Fixed gear bike?
I have to say, I love how you drew the circle around the circle.... Never saw it done that way before..... Very nice.
Agreed. And so simple.
same. mindblown
It's usually done with a washer, a big washer, at least that's how I always saw it done.
I loved that and will be using it too!
Sat catching flies for the whole video, simplicity when used by someone who knows their stuff is poetry.
Loved the hand sanitizer at the end ahahah
Emiliano Colombo I thought I was the only one
Sign of the times! Beautiful vintage style leather saddle bag, with added hand gel 🦠
He was just thinking in the future. :(
hi
Fun project. I appreciate how thoughtful you are of your neighbors, especially in these tense times.
Be well, and take good care!
it's so rad that you're always delving into different and new things! you're a very curious guy.
listening to this was like straight up ASMR. Love it!
A beautiful final product. Thank you for clearly showing the steps, the tools, and for sharing this video!
Your description, links and step by step instructions were extremely helpful! Thank you!
My hobby is mainly Blacksmithing leather work has been something i had a interest in but never got into . but the more i see you do it the more i think about having a go at it . And may I say Sir the work you do shows the talent of a true craftsmen . cheers from Australia.
I've been waiting for more leather-working videos! I'm subscribed to 100 channels but this one brings me the most joy and peace. Thank you so much for what you do!
Oh thanks!!! Very kind
Beautifully done. I love the look and esthetic and fit.
hiiiiiii
This is a great leather working project that I'd love to add to my list of projects as I'm an avid cyclist as well as diyer and youTuber. Thanks for the inspiration.
I'm impressed with all your free-hand work without templates.
i studied leather work (intended for expensive wallets and bags and such) and if I did ANY of the stuff you show here, they'd have had my neck haha ! I suggested using a dremmel to do the holes on the side of a very thick piece and the teacher was scandalised. instead I spend 2 hours hammering at the damn thing.
I disagreed with it though, I think like with all creative processes, methods can be flexible and you gotta use the tools to make your job easier.
man this made me wanna grab my tools again !
Awesome video man, and a truly beautiful result! Gonna have to try something similar now for my motorcycle 🤔
hello
Your craftsmanship, your dexterity , your ability to adapt to an easier means COMPLETELY BLEW ME AWAY...and the end result is sooo good. Loved the video. I watch a lot of these on RUclips but you r special.Looking forward to learning A LOT MORE FROM YOU...Thanks for sharing your talent.
Nice project. Some wonderfully creative leather working tips as a bonus! Thank you!
Great video, I just bought a starter set of tools (awaiting leather to be delivered) for something to learn while Im locked down in my flat. This is going to be fun , I have an immense amount of patience and like things just right. I can't wait for the leather to arrive! Trying it out on thick waxed canvas first though...
How is it going?
Leatherworking is becoming more and more appealing to me. The cost of getting into it is a few specialty hand tools and some leather, that's really it. There's obviously tricks to it like anything else but it's fairly clean, you could do it in your pajamas while listening to music, and you can create pieces that will last decades. Stuff that you could use everyday and actually improve your life like custom wallets, belts, carry bags etc. I don't know how leatherworking went off my radar for so long but my god it seems like a great hobby all around. Great project man, thank you for the inspiration as always.
Yess!! Agreed. Thank you so much!
I would have gone with a basic saddle stitch. Then I realized that your stitch would keep the upper edges together really well, taking the pressure off the cement- brilliant. Learn something new every day, thanks for sharing!!
Absolutely loved it! Super easy and no sewing machine! Wow
So nice, so very nice
Brilliant handwork, real masterpiece, truly speaking for my stuff it would be too small but many people will surely find it perfectly suitable for things they normally cycle with
Great project. I'm always happy at the first appearance of your mini trowel.
The cutest thing of the day.
Great job, keep on.
Maybe camera/phone casing in the future?
Thank you! Suggestion always appreciated.
I'm really happy this got recommended to me :>
Exceptional craftsmanship, thank you for illustrating your talent.
Ah, yes. I too never leave the house without hand sanitizer and a spanner.
as a motorized bicyclist, I can vouch for the spanner. I threw my pedal chain at a stoplight and had a bit of a scare. rear axle had migrated out of tension, almost leaving my ass in the breeze
😂🇦🇿🇹🇷
That looks like a professional job to me.
hiiiii
Wonderfully crafted, simple timeless design. Just a beautiful piece you have created. Thanks for sharing your craft,
Cheers
Lovely work masterpiece. This box was one of my wish to have on my bicycle in childhood
bellissima!!! complimenti!!
Impressive! If I tried that, I'd be missing a finger. A small multi-tool would be better.
The craftsmanship demonstrated, is just exceptional and the professionalism is over-the-top 👍
The tape thing with the circles is pretty clever I must say. I'm gonna try it out soon!
You need a Brooks saddle to go with it!
& Saddle Bags Would Be COOLLLL
hi
That would look petty sharp on a vintage safety bike or beach cruiser
I absolutely love this video. It's my favorite of all time!
I would personally knurl most of those edges. I just prefer that look. Job well done!
Those things look straight at 4:53, but then on an angle later.
I think he remade it...
I noticed that too
Yes! I had to remade it. It wasn't fitting well straight. Well done noticing it!
Thanks god... I was so confused. I'm so happy that I'm not alone.
I feel more assured buying an item at a premium price if I see the dedication and work hours put into it like this, good job
Very beautiful and nicely made!! 🥰👏🏾 thanks for sharing! 🤩
This is beautiful and your workmanship is amazing!
That’s really cool. Educational, therapeutic to watch and your work is beautiful. Thanks!
The Sellotape border thickness on the end pieces was inspiring, fantastic tip
Brilliant work!! So happy I saw this! I watch your videos every day. So much awesome content 🙂
I have never seen such a gorgeous art in my life. Its mesmarizing.....
Super nice leather bag, and i love the way you fastened it to your fixie.
I knew it was just a matter of time before I saw someone use a drill on leather to get the holes needed for stitching. Good Job!
Fabulous tip with respect to making circles from the bottom of the aerosol can with some scotch tape shim. In addition, I loved how you use zip ties to create a hard mold for the round sections of the case. Great job
Absolutely great!!! you are very talented at leather and other crafts!!!! thank you.!!!
You are very talented, precise and patience. awesome job! Great to see how talented man works! thank you!
Very well done and timely. I made one years ago and really struggled with the rounds. Your way is so much better. Time to make another one!
Hey Black Beard! This video inspired me to adapt/copy your build here to make a leather case to hold two whisky glasses. It was my first ever leather project and I’m super happy with it. Thanks!
Really nice! Very professional!
Perfect out of the way storage space for an inner tube patch kit and tools.
Creativity at its peak. It was also soothing to watch.
Nice and useable leather artwork. Thx for sharing.
Here I am watching this again a year later. Amazed at how that bag came together, no patterns to speak of, and using a drill to make the holes. Definitely winging it, but came out great.
Great work, but i never thought of using a power drill for the holes. Thanks for the tip and thanks for sharing.
That really came out great! Love it!
That's boss as hell! LOL My hat's off to you, sir.
amazing work! Classic bikes - rules!
Fantastic! Amazing job! Congratulations!
Thanks for no music. Makes for a better experience. Love thevfast sound. Turned out nice.
I feel overwhelmed.. wonderful!
Agh! My hands ache just watching this. Trying to be precise and accurate handling small tools is just a little too much. Awesome project!
Beautiful saddle bag!!!
I loved the end product, awesome! Now I want one 🙂
I really don't know how some of these guys on youtube work so hard on these projects in near silence. No music, no talking, just leather.
They might be wearing earphones :) but as a crafter myself, you get so into your work that you lose track of time working, even without music. You pause only to go to the toilet, or drink water, or to stretch out if muscles start to cramp out.
You did a really great job on that man! 👏😊
Your stitching is perfect!!👍🇬🇧
The tape roll spacer just broke my brain. Thanks. :D
Proper smart work! great looking project.
Awesome build, and learned a couple new tricks.
Perfect! And please stay safe! 😷💪🏻
Wonderful tool bag! And much lesser traffic noise in the background.
It took me too long to watch this video. Beautiful work. Thank you for inviting me to view.

I happened to find this somehow by just cruising thru the Internets... I was hooked!!! Not only was the video fascinating, but the quality and detail on the bag was awesome. Yeah, I'm a subscriber now!!!
