Here is the Eskimo Bag! Hand crafted by a real Eskimo. I now make a mini as well as a standard. I have 41 colours of facile, use extra hard lead shot (size 7.5) and steel shot (size 7) with upholstery thread.
Bags go for $30 Cdn with shipping via pay-pal (andrewdunford48(at)hotmail(dot)com). Please PM me if you are interested and I will give you an estimate for when I would be able to start and finish the bag.
Here are the colours at my disposal:
Here are the sizes: Standard: Mini:

Cool bags.
The bleed holes look so consistently stiched.
Pents and hexs look all identical to eachother.
You obvously take pride in your stiching.
EDIT: Good to hear your a perfectionist.

I am too hard on myself sometimes. I have thrown out countless half and 3/4 done bags b/c of a few wrinkles and uneven bleed holes. I feel that if you have to un-do some hexes from a pent, the holes made will make the panel so much weaker and will eventually pop or just bust.
But I love to stitch and love the way the bags turn out.
here are a few reviews that were posted in another topic. Thought I would put them here.
Jorden wrote:Hey,
I recently had the pleasure of testing out a sample 32 panel bag from Andrew Dunford (Eskimo Joe), which I was given at the Montreal Spring Jam this year. It sounds like Andrew is interested in entering the footbag market, and I just wanted to fill you in on what to expect from this up-and-coming stitcher.
First off, this is currently one of my favourite training bags. I asked for bright colours, and received a nice combo of cream orange pents with white hexes. I wanted to have a highly visible bag for doing street shows and busking, and began using it for this purpose. My first session with it was a spontaneous outdoor night session downtown. The bag was highly visible against the night sky and I was able to warm up to my standard level of play of almost-tripless.
The bag required next to no break in. The weight (I asked for HEAVY) was exactly what I asked for and I had no problem playing in any sort of wind.
Stitching looks consistent (I'm no expert mind you) and the panels don't puff outwards from the stitching which I like.
The material (facile?) doesn't dry out easily, so it stays malleable. White panels did turn light gray after only a couple sessions though, so I stopped using it for performing b/c of the loss in brightness. Even with the larger than standard size, Andrew's bag is now a regular in my training sessions.
You can see it in action from 1:29-2:39 in the Request Session 2 video.
Thanks Andrew. Your bag's a keeper. Do you want to post your materials and techniques you use in this thread?
8/10.

And here is another from James:

So I won a raffle at the Montreal Spring Jam....twice! And what did I get? An Andrew Dunford bag and a matching Kolosport hat!
First the colors are blue and grey, a very appealing mix. It was ready to play from the getgo, which is a quality I like in a bag. The weight is good, though a little lighter than I prefer (but I like them quite heavy). The stitching is very streamlined which gives it a very sharp and clean look. The filler is great.
This bag has always been a pleasure to use. I usually warm up with it, or use it for kicking because it is really great for that too.
hey man... .are you going to worlds? even if you arent, i love how your bags look and sound in reviews.... id be interested to purchase one most likely a smaller, heavier bag. PM me if youre going or if you might make me one. thanks!
Hey Manna. I saw your video! You have some nice style!
I will be bringing a few down and will have maybe 2 or 3 to sell. But if you are serious about buying one, you could put in a custom order and I will bring down a bag of you choice. But if you are content with picking one that I just make and bring down, that is cool too.
I will be bringing a bag for the tourney, a bag for Erik, and have one made for Bryin. I think that I will have about 4 bags ready.
I want to have a mini stitching session with Erik and whom ever may be interested, so I may bring a few pre-cut bags for people to try out for like $5 or something.
I was wondering if anyone will be able to pick me up at the airport when I arrive on the 28th? I arrive around 11pm though. So I need to know where people will be, if the late night shred will still be happening or if I should take a cab over to Erik's.
Hey Andrew, I now wanted to make a review of the last bag you sent me. It has been my favorite shred bag for most of the summer. The stitching seems good to me but I can't say much about that because I'm not a stitcher and knows very little about it. But on the playability part I been enjoying it a lot lately. It has perfect size and I like the weight. It is heavy and sets perfectly. It is malleable and stalls perfectly. At first it took a while to lose its rollability but it wasn't that bad. I was shredding with it before it was even broken-in and was playing pretty good, just had to concentrate more on stalls. Since it has broken in I just love it. The long time to broke-in may be due to my poor hand-massaging and me sucking to break in bags. Another good thing is that they seems really resistant.
Edit : wanted to mention that I liked it enough to say I'm going to buy another one when I'll ruin that one, so you definitely should buy one

i guess that depends on what side of the border you're on...
i am the proud owner of both a standard and a mini. i enjoy the feel of both of them, and so far they play really well. They are already playable, and i haven't even done any hand rolling or break in work. shredable straight outta the box.
I will no longer be taking custom orders until after the New Year. I have a few orders that I need to fill and then I will simply put bags for sale here.
However, after the New Year I will also be raising my price to reflect the quality of the bags I make. The price will go from $25CDN to $30CDN plus $2 CDN shipping.
the quality for sure has gotten better.
Im liking the new sizes of the bags you've been recently making( I like small bags).
I love that blue/yellow/pink bag alot.

Andrew! I pmed you about another bag and you told me to remind you and I havent heard from you since (I realize you posted about not taking new orders). I'd really like a cotton candy bag (blue pink yellow), lemme know if this is possible.
PS His bags are the bomb and my eskimo joe bag is currently my favorite to use. Buy one (but only after I get my order in ) !
Can't wait for mine.
