Leather backpack

[Niko]

I made a leather backpack. It´s not a specific camerabackpack but carrying cameras has been tought in the process. One carrying strap has a strap for one camera and a strap to keep the camera from swinging around. The other strap has a pouch for a smaller camera. Also made a fingerstrap for the compact camera to make it easier to take it out of the pouch, i also think even a wriststrap is too much for such a small camera. Both these accessories are also detachable from the backpack. I am happy with my backpack and just wanted to share Are there other leatherworkers here ?

Excellent! You're showing some skills there; looks very well thought out and executed. One large compartment? I've made a few light meter holsters and modify existing bags with leather, but nothing of the magnitude of your backpack.

Thanks! There are 3 pockets inside, one laptop size and two wallet (self-made, of course ) and cellphone size.
Do you have photos of your creations ?

No photos. I'll see what I can do in the next day or so.

All hand punched and sewn? Nice, but looks pretty heavy.
I've done a bunch of leather bi-fold wallets, small bags and boxes of different sorts. I think canvas is better for packs, but a leather bottom is nice.

Thanks for the comments
Yes, hand punched and sewn. I have not weigth it, but does not feel too heavy to me. Large and carrying parts are 2,2mm thick and details 1,1mm.
