Very nice work and for a first project, all I can say is EXCELLENT.

As with everyone else, I'd say that's a little Over The TOP for a first project!!!

And it looks fantastic!

Great job ! CAN WE SEE THE INSIDE ?

[Magnus a]

Thanks everyone!

I took some picture with my phone so the quality is not as good.

The inside is not finished as I will install straps. (There are plenty of Chicago screws to use)

The last picture is on the handle and the construction holding the lid in place. The finish is OK but I have not done the final polish. The leather round the metal is lined with rawhide, as is the D-rings on the side for the shoulder strap.

Unfortunate it is not easy to get the color right.

OMG, that is amazing work. I made a carry on bag for my first project, but it did not come out looking as good as this! Nicely done.

That's a beautiful piece of luggage. Been wanting to do one myself...love the look of this one.

that is a great detail - using rawhide to reinforce the handles. they will last forever doing it that way.

you did a very nice job on this project. great details.
