WAXED CANVAS TOTE BAG

admin — Sat, 26 Jan 2013 00:28:46 +0000

Our new light and packable Waxed Canvas Tote Bag. There are a lot of totebags out there and more and more waxed canvas these days, but nothing that quite suited our needs. This is an oversized bag but not over weight. It’s big enough for all your groceries, a few cases of bottles, a beach picnic, your sweater and jacket or a small load of laundry.

It features a milled aluminum stud at the top to keep the shoulder straps together, avoiding that awkward side that is always sliding off the shoulder. Leather reinforcement on the inside also provides a convenient place to clip your keys or EDC.

Available by email request in limited quantities. $90. Give us a shout, studio@etwasbags.com

Canvas dimensions: 25″ wide x 19″ high x 8″ deep bottom.

new tool bins

We just got a nice set of these old industrial pressed steel bins, they are now back in their original use. Each holds the tools needed for a particular task and workstation. The one on the left is for cutting and sewing, the one on the right for riveting and punching.

Device Sleeve

We’ve had many requestes for sleeves holders for various devices; phones, laptops, tablets, but we’re not so much for making specialty products for branded gadgets that are subject to passing trends.

We’ve come up with a solution however. We’ve begun making a device sleeve that can be sized to fit any roughly rectangular device, a tablet, ipad, macbook air, iphone, kindle, what have you. It’s as simple as it comes, and executed in fine locally vegetable tanned leather. These come in a natural color and will age and burnish beautifully with time. Studio@etwasbags.com for inquiries.

leavings

admin — Fri, 04 Mar 2011 23:38:16 +0000

There is much useful information to glean from the leavings of hand work.

In hand woodworking the chips and shavings lifted by planes and chisels convey not only the type, size and shape of the tool, but also it’s condition- whether or not it bears a keen edge. We can also see something of the motion of the craftsman, whether they are using strong, sustained movement or short chipping movement.

The same is true in leather-work, we see the same in the leavings of our skivers and edgers. What is left behind should be beautiful and graceful, the sign of a confident and competent hand.

I think this kind of language in the leavings it an important thing to consider in broader life as well, you can tell a great deal about people and organizations from the forms of their excess, what is left as a result of their functioning.
