Recycling - our favorite pastime

PEARL DRUMS:
If you stop and think about it, we collectively do a lot of recycling in our hobby. Many things that would go to a landfill become our tools or keepsakes. I'm far from a leather smith, very far  :). But I can punch holes and run needles through them! I made this satchel last week. It will double as a dead bunny carrier and a general side bag when needed. The front, back and flap are made from leather I knifed off an old curbside couch. The sides, bottom and strap are made from scrap boot leather the Wolverine factory threw out sometime in the mid 80's. My buddy collected it and gave me a massive box about 10 years ago. I considered fancy buttons and leather lacing. But why? Just more work and it wont make my satchel any more useful. So I left it plain Jane.
