Finishing up a new shooting bag. Loose intrepretation of one of TC Alberts bags from his recent book. Mine sports four interior pockets to keep me better organized, and the knife and ball starter on the strap. Thinking of making a small accessories wallet for it...to carry my tools.
That is a nice bag. I always thought putting the short starter on the strap to be a good idea and that's also what I do. Your workmanship is really good.

Deadeye, If you can't find one or they are too expensive, use two 'C' clamps and two boards. Real cheap and you can turn your set up around in your hands. León

Mine is a old large saw vice with a ball socket base. It will turn to any angle. I ground off some of the area that limited how far the jaws will spread, allowing it to hold several layers of heavy leather....
The vices that I make up are patterned after a harness makers vice that my dad used but without the seat. Google "lacing pony" and you can get some ideas. Avoid projecting bolts, wing nuts and sharp angles, they will constantly grab your thread and make you swear. I'll try to post a photo of what works for me.
