18th Century Packs & Bags in Detail. Part 3.

Keith! Checked out your youtube channel, and subbed. The leather covered saddle flask is something I have been considering for a while. Your stitches came out fine, I thought. Shaping any fabric or leather around a complicated object is a real trial, a lot of skill and patience on display there.

 

Interesting channel sir. You have another subcriber.

 

Used to, we took our boots, belts, wallets, whatever leather to the shoe repair men. Gone is that era. Gosh, even at age 12, I went to the gunsmith to make a rear site elevation pin for my .22 rifle. He died, so had to find my next gunsmith. Gunsmith #2 was put out of business by a lawsuit he won -- legal expenses killed his business. He was sued by the family of a person murdered by a firearm he repaired. America has been taken over by the inferiors, the weak, the godless, the hand-wringers, the dependent, the trash, those without honor.

Smiths of all manner are gone these days. How desperately sad this. All things now are a study in planned obsolescence. Hideous beyond measure.
