Members builderofstuff Posted December 14, 2010 Members Report Posted December 14, 2010 The case that came with my glasses finally wore out and I needed a replacement. Rather than buy one I thought I would try and make one instead. So I took apart the one that I had and used it to make pattern for this one. It's nothing fancy by any means, but it was fun to make, and as a prototype I'm pretty happy with the way it turned out. Chris Quote
Contributing Member Bob Blea Posted December 14, 2010 Contributing Member Report Posted December 14, 2010 This looks nice. I've been thinking of doing the same thing because my glasses case is coming apart too. Thanks, I think you've inspired me to give it a try. I like the border work with the veiner. Bob Quote

All I did was take my old case apart and make a pattern from it. It's one of those projects that nice to do when you don't have a ton of time to work on something. They really go together quickly. The case has a leather wedge in it so when you close the snap you don't crush the glasses. The original had some molded plastic piece in there that went between the nose pieces of the glasses, so I made one from leather. The case really works well. Chris Quote
