steelhawk Report post Posted February 15, 2012 Has anyone made a notebook cover where the top can be folded over to the back so when using it to write, it takes up only a bit more room on the desk than the pad inside? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I am attaching a picture of a pad holder I did that folds double. It was for my uncle who is a cattle buyer. He wanted it to fold over so he could stick it into the steering wheel and write contracts. It needed to be stiff and I used a clipboard clip inside the back cover and stiffener on the front to make an edge to break against. The cover is made from 7/8 that was thinned to about 4 oz at the fold. The lining was 4 oz so it could staned the stress of folding a little better. Adfter a few years of daily use it has held up well. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bison Report post Posted February 15, 2012 I did one for a customer that he requested. The top flips over to the back. It holds a steno pad one one side and loose papers and business cards on the other. There is a dowel in the pen holder. I put a loop on the front and back cover and so the pen holds it together when it is closes. He had a custom over-sized pen made for it so that's why the dowel looks so big!

Jaymack Report post Posted February 25, 2012 Good idea where the loops in the front and back hold it closed with the pen! John Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
