Turn your favorite leather into a custom drum stick pouch (or tool roll) with Chuck Dorsett from Weaver Leather Supply. In this project, Chuck builds a lined leather drumstick bag with room for multiple pairs of sticks, a drum key pocket, handy billets and snaps, and laced loops so you can hang it from your floor tom or work area.
