Fantastic to teach young people that there are alternatives to going to the shops for something manufactured and that they can make something that they can use / wear and be proud of, often without a lot of tools or expensive materials. Even better if there is a local business willing to provide leftovers / off cuts:-)

Awesome project, I've been working mainly with wood an leather recently, this has inspired me to get the arduino out!!

Thanks :-)

Thanks Mr. Ham, great idea to use the Lego, that means you can easily saw out the pans depending on what you plan to paint. Ingenious!

Fantastic use of space, I've added this to the ever growing todo list :-)

I really like this, I've made load of Duct tape projects but nothing as ambitious as a back pack. What an excellent idea and great excecution!

This is an excellent idea. I'm just planning to make some of my own notebooks in a similar style to the field notes books, I think this would really enhance them, thanks!

Yes, you definitely could do that, if you used something with a little stiffness, you could also use as a mixing palate along with the lid of the tin

Thanks!

That would be interesting to try!

Great idea and exceution, thanks

Thanks, What a great activity for scout camp!

Glad it brought good memories of your dad, have fun having a go at making one!

I hadn't heard of a Turks Head knot but followed your link and it definitely does.

Brilliant!!! Would be cool with a microcontroller for light / sound effects.

love this 'ible great way to display your stoppers.

That looks amazing, shame I'm on a diet :-(

Many thanks, took my a few dos and undos the 1st couple of times. I think dying the leather helps to see what was happening. Paper may be quite challenging as it doesn't have the strength or flexibility of leather, a scrap of fabric may be easier if you want to practice before cutting leather. Good luck !!!

Yes, cool idea!

I think I might have to have a go at this. Looks like a great design

Thanks, I'm really pleased with it

Thanks,

To make it that big you would need strong cardboard ( which is possible) or use something like MDF for the basic structure and then cover with veneer

Thanks, we had great fun making and playing with it

These look amazing, just need to wait until I'm not on a diet to try them :-)
