Coffin Tool Box Lid (In Progress)

[redcell7]

i needed to increase my skillset in carving so i am making a 2 foot coffin tool; box that will hang on the wall and will house all my edgers ....its way bigger then the coffins i make now but it will give me great practice as i am learning ...when done it will be all leather and sewn and constructed by hand

thanks people ....its very time consuming but well wort it ....and it does make a kool place to store some of your leather tools...it will only be about 4 inches deep ...i was going to try and rig up shelves ...but decided i will just cut a long strip of leather and put rivet s every couple of inches in a loop that the tools will fit in

Ever consider building guitar cases like that? Sell those with matching adjustable guitar straps... You'd make a killing!

Just a thought...

kool idea...im in jefferson parish

Jeff Parish, huh?! No kiddin'?!

I tell ya what, if you're up for it, I'll show the pics of your coffin box to a buddy of mine that knows how to build guitar cases. He's got a brand new 6-string bass that I'm pretty sure he'd like a killer case for. Just let me know what you think. I can measure my case and help you with estimating dimensions if you'd like, too.
