Round Leather Box

[Dangerous Beans]

Something a little different, an unusual way of keeping the lid closed was asked for, I wasn't convinced it would work, but it actually does it quite nicely.

There are only so many ways to make a leather tub look a little different, It;s twice the work of a single strap to open it but that was not an issue.

What do you think?

Very nice work! It looks great.

Did you have your circular cutter custom made, or is it a standard size?

Thanks for taking the time to show this, very very nice. I have a question, the tool you used for making the holes,,,what tool is that or more directly, the mfg. I only have mostly Tandy tools, and Ive only been working on things a bit over a year, so the common tools have generally worked out. but not so much this, so I am interested in that tool. my lace punching tool is also wearing. so I am thinking where ever you got this tool, they have others I may need to review. Im getting some request and need to step up my game a little. thanks again.

Thank you OdinUK, I had the cutter made at Joseph Dixon, it worked out to about £24 with VAT and post.

It saves a bit of time when doing multiple cuts, it sharpens up nicely too.
