Designing the backpack of my dreams, it's built to last at least 10 years, it's kind of a fork of a design by Banjo Brothers, but everything is twice as heavy duty.

A made a backpack!
I've used one of these fantastic canvas commuter bags from Banjo Brothers for over 15 years, but having finally worn it out to the point where the canvas was so brittle that you could poke holes with your index finger, I didn't have the heart to throw it away after so many years of faithful service.
So, I cut all the seams off, layed it all out, traced each part on fresh 14oz canvas and tried my best to make a new one. I've taken the opportunity to improve some things.
I certainly hope that it may last for another 15 years.
