Thats a lovely case, I look forward to making one like this. How long did it take to make?

Thank you! It took me a month or so. Lots of problems arose from making it. It's much longer than the average one so I ended having to put braces in. And I had to re-do a few things to get it just right. You have to be a hundred percent on your measurements and angles. Might I suggest you making one by making a wooden box first then cutting it open. I used 1/8" plywood. It's based off of the Leather Cases Vol. 2 book by Al Stohlman - the Attache. He has another one where you make the box first. Next time I'd go with that one. I added the card holder and the pen/pencil holder on the right to fill out the space. Oh and have a wood shop for doing this one or have someone cut all the pieces when you need them done (it goes in stages, so you can't cut everything out at once (though you could with the pre-made box one). Anyways, let me know if you do make one, I'd love to see it and hear how it went.
