Doug C Posted January 26, 2009 Report Posted January 26, 2009 Elton, Long time no talk. That's a good lookin case. I really like your pattern. carving looks good too. I've always wanted to make a case with that type of closure. Do you have any pictures showing how the loop is attached under the flap, or could you explain how it is done? Is their any divider inside the case or is it one compartment? Excellent work! Doug Quote
Elton Joorisity Posted January 26, 2009 Author Report Posted January 26, 2009 (edited) Hey Doug, The loop is pretty simple, I just punched two 1/2" slots aproximately 3/4" apart vertically on the front. I then skived each end of the loop stock and slipped one end into each slot. The attatchment is up to you, I riveted each end but you could also stitch it. As for compartments, there is a center divider with a stiffener in the middle. One side of the divider has 6 pen pockets, a 3 X 4 pocket and a business card pocket. I meant to take pics of the divider before assembly but of course I forgot!!

hidepounder Posted January 26, 2009 Report Posted January 26, 2009 Really nice job Elton! Percentage of filigree background is just right...shows off the hair-on hide, but not too much of it! tooling is great. I Like the border too. Good work! Bob Quote

MADMAX22 Posted January 27, 2009 Report Posted January 27, 2009 Very cool looking, I like it. On the filigry portion did you glue it to the hair? I didnt see any stitching, do you need to glue it. I havnt done any filigree saving that for a later adventure. Quote
gtwister09 Posted January 27, 2009 Report Posted January 27, 2009 Elton, Great border, filigree and carving. Very nice, balanced design of those different aspects. Regards, Ben Quote
Members Rawhide Posted January 27, 2009 Members Report Posted January 27, 2009 (edited) Elton, This is faboulous work!! Did you come up with the pattern or did you modify or use an existing one? Edited January 27, 2009 by Rawhide Quote Marlon
