I could tell you a way to make one with round stock, drill press and drill vise, cutting torch and a some quenching oil, but the easiest is call Bob Douglas Tools and for $20-$30 you can get a real nice one made of tool steel.

Here are 3 floral carved purses I built last month, wanted to put them soon but just got the chance. If you are going to be in Sheridan stop by and say hi we will be at Great Basin Leather Company's booth on the putting green.
Thanks for looking

It depends on the grade and weight of the skirting if it is D grade $160.00 is high and if it is #2 its cheap assuming it is 13/15 oz. Also find out the drop thru the shoulder and if it is clean.
Bob,
I hate to say this but the pictures just don't do this piece justice. I was able to see this piece up close and personal yesterday and you dun did a fine job on every phase of this piece. I do believe it was worth every Kojack moment you told me about over the phone when you where building this project. The only person that will give a little fuss over this will be Keith and he'll want to know the braided edge is at.
Happy Trails and we will see you next week
Andy
The interior is open no dividers with a series of different sized pockets on the side sewn to the liner this was all done according to the clients needs.
I have not posted any pictures for a couple of years so I thought I would jump back on this train. This is a zipper top briefcase I just finished.
Thanks for looking,
