JohnBarton Posted April 25, 2009 Report Posted April 25, 2009 Thanks for the compliments Panther, Shirley, and John. Shirley it took 9 days to make that one, I'm pretty slow. It seems the farther I get done on them the slower I go, I'd hate to goof them up at that point. John thanks again for the idea about the lid, its easier to cut and I think it looks better too. I sort of like the snap under the lid but may put it on the outside on the next one so I can put a top handle on it. You could put a top handle inside the lid diameter as well. I have done that a few times by cutting a slot for it. But it never turned me on as much as I thought it would just seemed weird and off. On the orginal Predator cue cases I did design it this way and it worked but only because the handle straps were nylon and slim. Any time I have done it with 2mm or thicker leather I haven't liked it. You night try this though: Put the thick part of the handle/snap strap inside the lid and run a thinner piece over the top. This way the thinner profile is maintained and the piece won't look funny. Well it might :-) I don't know as I haven't tried it this way ever. Not all jb ideas are good ones......
