In this video, we will build a basic leather tote bag from start to finish (all the steps are broken into chapters below), hopefully answering many of your questions along the way! First, we'll talk about choosing the right leather and where to cut it from your hide. Then we'll look at all the tools I use and tricks I've learned to make an excellent leather bag. As always, THANK YOU for watching. I would love to hear from you if you've found this helpful or if you have more questions I didn't answer!

Cheers!
Tanner
