That’s the spirit! Perfection might be a moving target, but chasing it with that level of intention and craft is what makes the end result truly yours. Can’t wait to see how it turns out.I have a feeling it’s going to be both badass and beautifully made.

Those are surprisingly kind words, appreciated!

I'm pretty positive that the outcome will be satisfying, but there's always room for improvement - even when everything goes to plan. 

That said, it's going to be pretty damn sweet!

Trial-and-Error, and why I don't like it.

Reading your post felt like watching a mix of Mythbusters, therapy, and a ritual of self-inflicted torment — with a sewing machine. Massive respect for your persistence and insane attention to detail it's genuinely impressive how you turned every failure into fuel for refinement. If this backpack doesn't end up being the EDC of the century, blame physics, not the process!
