Buckle is looking great. I should hopeful get my carbon steel one Monday or early week
I think the best place is etsy, search "oval grommets" and several will show up. Here's some of the 1.25" ones.
Note that it says 40 pieces, that actually is 40 sets of a front and back, so 80 pieces total. Lots of extras.

Here's my attempt at the bag. I screen printed the fabric. I let the pattern dry for a few days and then I put the cloth into the sink full of water and wet-sanded it with 60 grit sand paper. Then after that dried, I ironed out all the wrinkles, which also helped heat set the screen printing ink. The bag is by no means accurate in terms of dimensions (other than the rivets and oval grommets). I mainly eye-balled the dimensions and drew it out on a big piece of paper.
In terms of sewing the bag, it was all just a hope and a prayer that it would come out right. I don't know proper techniques for making bags. This was my first time really using a sewing machine. My biggest fear was sewing it and flipping the fabric right-side out and discovering that I sewed it on backwards! Luckily that didn't happen!
I'm pretty happy with how it came out. Time to make some straps!

Won't work on stainless, but it will work on the carbon steel
Not sure if bluing the carbon would really yield the desired results, but I'm curious to see someone try it.
Nice job on the bag Ninja!

Can we see the back and the inside, please? This rocks!

Thanks! The only picture that I have right now is the inside. It's not the best picture though. I can take a picture of the back and try to retake the picture of the inside when I get home later today.

Ahh, very cool! Looks pretty involved inside there, heh! Any plans for a liner at all?
Apologies if you've already answered this, I got excited. Would you post a pattern for your bag project? Or, at least the trapezoid parts. Very nice work! The symmetry is spectacular.

Yup, I'm planning on putting in a liner. Endless Wonder posted a picture from the movie of the actual liner back on the 7th page of this thread. I know the actual liner is a dark color...possibly maroon or brown(?)...but I have this really nice piece of tan suede that would be oh-so-comfy inside of there...it's a little tempting. The OCD in me is telling me to go back to Joann Fabrics and find something that is more accurate.

Have we determined how many pockets or openings this thing has yet? I'm still not sure if it's 1 or 2. One at the very top along the seam and then the the one with the leather flap or overhang.
It seems kind of odd to have just the overhang flap part be the only opening, it would create a bunch of wasted space not to mention it wouldn't close then. Anyone else thinking the same or differently?

I believe the consensus is that there is 1 opening in the bag, which is along the seam. The leather flap appears to be purely cosmetic. If you take a look at this picture, you can see that the front fabric is directly sewn to the leather flap, which doesn't allow for an opening in there. It looks like it is simply folded over the front.
It does look like there is a second compartment behind the trapezoids. I wonder if there is also another underneath the leather flap. It's possible.
