View Full Version : Homemade canvas pack..
Made myself a nice canvas, leather & copper pack. Absolutely fun to do and a nice sight in the woods. Ingedients: 15 oz canvas, chrome tanned leather, copper rivets for the soulder straps ensemble and hollow SS rivets for the flap straps.

And for the gearheads; a "picknickmurikka" and a Eagle products kettle. And hope the red paint on the wall wasn't still shedding (falu red does tend to shed pigment for decades unless you add some linseed oil into the recipie).

WOW - I like that one......Great Job mate!
Where did you get the Canvas from?
Can you make some pictures of the backside of the Pack - so we can see the Shoulderstraps?
cheers

Right: CS hawk, paint stripped of & blued. Shirt is an old Swanni & hat is a waxed Filson head.

As if you were there! The falu was stable and didn't stain... I learned that lesson years ago, the hard way.
Exact location: some 20 km SE of Grövelsjön
That looks very good from were l'm sitting, well done.

I found some canvas at an army tent supplier here in NL... Pic's of the back are coming, but it's a basic Duluth'ish set up with copper rivets.
OK, here some detail pictures, backside & a 3/4 view:

thx for the pics Mastino and the information!
If I had any sparetime left sometimes - I think I´ll give it a try and make my own Canvas Pack :D
Does anyone knows some nice pattern for a Canvas Pack?
Don´t have any Duluth pack - just an old pack from my grandfather, but don´t wanna copy that one because it is a unique for me and should stay one!
thx and cheers
Mike
very nice, making one of these has been on my to do list for a while.
Very nice work that man!
What sort of capacity do you reckon it has?

cool pictures dude, I like them
Very nice job. Something I'd like to do.
Ive changed a Swedish canvas pack by removing the frame, and putting the inner pocket on the outside. Works a treat.

That looks great!
Funny enough, I was thinking about making myself some canvas gear recently.
Where do you get your materials and what do you use for stitching?
(ps. good to see you yesterday)
