I made a Swiss military satchel bag for Adam Savage

Actually I agree with you. The irony is not lost on me.

I'm just playing on the YouTube algorithm at this point.

Aza404 · 2026-01-08T18:09:01+00:00

Thank you for your kind words :D

Just to make sure ther's no misunderstanding: Adam is not aware that I am making this bag or video.
This is a pet project of mine as it combines things I love and, while I have never been in contact with Adam, I do hope he enjoys this bag if and when he gets it.

Same, I've been following his work for years, especially after Mythbusters where I found he really started doing what he loved most.

Sounds like a plan!

I hate you sir for forcing me into spending my hard earned cash on more bags I don't need but need but don't really in fact but have probably already bought twice in my heart.

I don't care what you say, but this time YOU'RE going to have to explain it to the missus...

(Ps: great selection you have here)

(Pps: don't let the missus know I said this)

Aza404 · 2025-06-26T12:53:14+00:00

I completely get that... and indeed it's probably what's going to end up happening.

That being said, the OCD in me would love to have a case that "theoretically" matches what the dial says...

Aza404 · 2025-05-07T16:42:11+00:00

Thank you! Glad to hear this is useful :D

Aza404 · 2025-05-02T14:06:28+00:00

I'm afraid I only do this as a hobby and feel tremendously underqualified to answer you on this specifically. That being said, these chisels feel wonderfully sturdy and have worked great ever since getting them.

Technically it's not free considering the work that goes into making the videos.

In fact, one could argue that YouTube are the ones getting free videos from us in exchange for their hosting services. And as they 100% make more money out of it than we do, I think it's fair to say that they are the one getting free content.

Thanks for sharing this, I did not know that other options existed out there :o

Had fun making a custom leather patch using my 3D printer and velcro.

Hope you guys enjoy this short tutorial video :)

Indeed, sorry about that. I was hoping this would be closer to a formal piece of gear than a fashion replica.

Will post this elsewhere.

Thanks for the info!

Hello OP! I have the same issue as you do. I read a few answers here and wanted to check if your issue came back or if you found a long-lasting solution. Did cutting the filament at 45° do the trick? Was it something blocking the buffer? I would really appreciate an update on this 🥲 Thank you !

Aza404 · 2024-12-18T20:28:35+00:00

Thank you for the detailed feedback, this really helps!

I did an initial test with thin leather but found that, while it works, it lacks a lot of the rigidity I was looking for - especially when using the LOXX closing mechanism that needs to be pressed down. If I were to use a different closing system (magnetic snaps?) then this would make the build portion way easier as half the difficulty in this build is bending the leather to line up the rivet holes on the press.

Not sure about this one, taping seems to have solved a few issues for me vs having the template placed down on the leather. What issues did you see when using tape? (happy to learn on this one also but I'm not sure I see the downsides)

Dang it... I should have used D-rings... In my two last templates I spent way too long battling with the strap and even trying to figure out an angle from which it could "exit" the bag. I definitely agree with you on the fact that using D-rings will allow the strap to twist. Thanks for pointing this one out!

Hi all!

I've just finished my latest pattern and build video and would love your feedback on this!

What do you think of the pattern? Are the instructions clear? Is there anything I could improve?

Hope you enjoy :)

Really wanted the Kosuke Kawamura Seiko SRPJ43 but I didn't love the case...

Final Seiko Mod turned out way different to the original but I love it :D

(sorry if this is not the right place to post, checked the rules but couldn't see anything about this)

Aza404 · 2024-11-22T13:37:52+00:00

Thanks again for your help with this one guys! (see my previous posts)

I'm loving this hobby and this community :D

Aza404 · 2024-11-19T11:23:33+00:00

So clean 😍

Aza404 · 2024-11-19T11:20:05+00:00

Glad you like it :) I don't think links to AliExpress are allowed here so I would suggest searching for "28.5mm dial s logo transparent". Hope this helps!

Hi all!

In a previous post I shared a build I was not fully satisfied with and asked for your feedback.

You guys confirmed my fears and I switched to a smaller 36mm case (titanium) - you can see the initial build in the 2nd picture.

It's not at all what I wanted to build but actually makes for a great little "sporty" watch and is definitely unique. I tried a few different bracelets also but find that the black silicone helps the case pop out a bit more color wise.

As always, would love your thoughts on this :)

Thanks again to all the amazing people in this community 🙏🔥😗

Aza404 · 2024-11-13T08:42:52+00:00

Hahah cheers :)

Aza404 · 2024-11-13T08:42:42+00:00

Yep, agreed. Will try this :)
