Last year I did a lot of onsite design working, some companies didn’t provide any computers, I have to bring my own one, and sometimes I need to present the logo design in a big conference room, I have to bring an extra USB monitor too, therefore, a decent briefcase is an essential item for me, there are many choices in the market, I particularly love Porter, but the size never fit, either too small or too big, so, DIY time!<\/p>\n

\"DIY-leather-briefcase-1\"I spent HK$449 on the leather, just enough for one briefcase!<\/p>\n

\"DIY-leather-briefcase-2\"After cut all the leather in pieces, it’s time to dye, this time I picked my favoured Porter yellow.<\/p>\n

\"DIY-leather-briefcase-4\"This was a really bloody tough job!<\/p>\n

\"DIY-leather-briefcase-9\"Start with the front pocket first.<\/p>\n

\"DIY-leather-briefcase-15\"The most important part here is balancing, two pockets should align perfectly.<\/p>\n

\"DIY-leather-briefcase-12\" \"DIY-leather-briefcase-13\"The making of handles.<\/p>\n

\"DIY-leather-briefcase-17\"Inside pockets for pens, keys and USB thumb drive.<\/p>\n

\"FullSizeRender\"I made a copper stamp from a local leather shop, quality is quite good.<\/p>\n

\"DIY-leather-briefcase-19\"All parts are ready, it’s time to sew every pieces together.<\/p>\n

\"DIY-leather-briefcase-24\"
\nThis is the umbrella pocket, in a sunny day this pocket can put the shoulder strap.<\/p>\n

\"DIY-leather-briefcase-25\"Glueing the front panel and side panel together, the corners are very hard to glue, need a little bit of force.<\/p>\n

\"DIY-leather-briefcase-26\"Sewed the front panel, now on the back panel left.<\/p>\n

\"DIY-leather-briefcase-29\"
\nAll sewing work was done, now is the time to reverse it inside out, the briefcase is really to use.<\/p>\n

\"DIY-leather-briefcase-30\"Hell yeah! My very own leather briefcase!<\/p>\n

\"DIY-leather-briefcase-32\"
\nAnother stamp on left side.<\/p>\n

\"DIY-leather-briefcase-35\"Item one: 11″ Macbook Air<\/p>\n

\"DIY-leather-briefcase-36\"
\nItem two:\u00a016″ USB external monitor<\/p>\n

\"DIY-leather-briefcase-37\"
\nItem three:\u00a0Wacom Intuos Pen<\/p>\n

\"DIY-leather-briefcase-38\"Now I can work anywhere, all the devices in to one single briefcase that just fitted.<\/p>\n

\"DIY-leather-briefcase-44\"
\n<\/a>The size is just fit for my body.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
