carr52 Report post Posted February 3, 2009 Made these for a couple of iron workers my brother knows. They are 4"x7" by 9" deep. The guys are inspectors now so they just need to carry a bunch of note books and calulators and stuff in them. Tom Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

carr52 Report post Posted February 3, 2009 Heck yeah. Are those copper rivets? Nice. Thank you for the compliments guys and yes they are copper. # 9, didn't want a rust issue. I had made one before and thats how I got the request for these. The hard part for me was just making sure all the holes lined up after I formed it. Some were alittle off but nothing I couldnt work with. all and all a couple of fun projects. Tom Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dags3777 Report post Posted February 4, 2009 They sure are cool. Love the skull theme, boy do skulls go off over your see of the globe. I wasn't to keen on skulls, but with guidance of this forum, I have given them a try. Now they are a requested part of my gear. I digress, sorry. Well done for your design and completion.

Thanks rhall I think you'll find it is a fun project. Maybe a little frustrating when the hole dont line up but it all seems to work out in the end. Just have to stick the rivets in when you form it and while it's still wet. Then let it dry as you can see in the pic. Tom Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
carr52 Report post Posted February 9, 2009 Those look awesome. Nice designs.Allen Thank you Allen. I got the idea for that design some where in here. But when i tried to find it again I couldn't. I just wanted to say thanks to all of the folks here at leatherworker for the lessons i have learned. So who ever you are that inspired that design, thank you.

nick Report post Posted February 10, 2009 Man, these are very nice! The skulls are wicked looking! You did a fantastic job and the rivets are the icing on the cake. I built an explorers case that I posted pics of, but yours are way nicer than mine. Yours look like they can take a beating. I am humbled and wish mine would have turned out half as nice as yours. If you don't mind my asking, do you have a pattern for these? I would really like to try my hand at making one. Seriously Tom, these are really cool.
