Handstitched Report post Posted January 10 I made one of these years ago for a truckie . Just thought I'd revisit the pattern . Getting everything to fit right was a challenge. Leather is just a 3mm VT , Ken Griffin pattern , on the body and lid, 1.2mm vt on the bottom. Theres a few things I could have done better ( I'm sure we all say that when we make stuff) . The lip of the lid could have been deeper,but I also had to make sure I didn't cover the pattern, and perhaps the pattern didn't have to be so wide. And I didn't have the clasp I wanted, so I use what I had. But, in saying all that I like it, and I'll learn for next time. HS Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

DieselTech Report post Posted January 10 Nice work! Looks great. Lol, I know some truck drivers that wished they would have had that at times. Maybe you could design a slot in the next one for quick to access to paper. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
