They are nice. Let me know if you find them. Thanks.

I solved the same problem by advancing the screw circled in red . The nut needs to be loosened and the screw tightened again. This keeps the shaft from coming out of the roller as it rotates. This worked for me.

I have the same problem... Also as I'm from Switzerland I need to pay also the custom fees for example....

Great question. A great tutorial!

I have not. Wouldn't that be too coarse? I don't think I am sure what duck canvas is. How does it differ from regular canvas? I do a lot of shopping directly in China and found some sources for 360g/meter, 400g/meter, and 530g/meter cotton twill.

Peter, can you answer me please?

I’m interested as well to get some feedback on this. Thanks don’t do hand stitch but machine stitch. For my pricing I calculate exact square footage of materials used, multiply that by 1.5 for waste, multiply that sum by the cost of the material. I add hardware cost, a shop/overhead cost of $2 for under 2 sq.ft., or $6 for larger than 2 sq.ft. Then I take my time, multiply by $30 per hour. Add those up, then double it.

I believe the automatic recurrent subscription are only for the old tutorials meant for previous subscribers. The newer tutorials are no longer included in the subscription but sold individually.

I would say price what you feel you're bags are worth. There is no right or wrong here and you will find fellow bag makers pricing all over the place. I would think your pricing could be in line with Hermes' retail pricing...not the wildly inflated market pricing that is commonly seen.

Yes, that is specifically but again they sell other types of canvas that may work well for you application.

@Justin Starr Thanks. That looks like what I bought as a burnishing cloth, not knowing it was duck canvas.

I have a question about the cotton twill an cotton duck. I have heard that you shouldn’t use cotton with leather because it will break down after a while. Is this true. I really wan to use a cotton fabric for my linings because of my business name, Scotch & Cotton! : )
