Members 9tpi Posted October 14, 2014 Author Members Report Posted October 14, 2014 you did a great job on this one! very well designed. nice proportions. but.......we need some interior pictures. i like the hardware on the handle. it looks like chrome in the pictures, but the strap hardware is brass. can you clear this up? and also, what are the dimensions of the case? Thanks ramrod. In person both pieces of hardware have polished silver finish. I'm not sure what the base metal is... The case size is roughly 16.5''x12''x4.5'' Nice, very nice. I have made a couple of briefcases and this makes mine look, well, like I need to raise the bar. Very clean, crisp. Well done Where did you get the brass that goes from handle to case? Thanks Thank you! Wish i could say the handle hardware was from small Parisian shop... however it's a Tandy product! Quote https://www.instagram.com/c_skelhorn
Members billybopp Posted October 14, 2014 Members Report Posted October 14, 2014 I think the confusion on the hardware may be due to the color balance in the first picture. It's off toward yellow and hence makes the hardware look more like brass than chrome/nickel. Bill Quote

Yah it's veg tanned with a waxy top dressing, a lot like english bridle, if i didn't know better. It has a bit of pull-up too. Quote https://www.instagram.com/c_skelhorn
Members craftsman827 Posted October 16, 2014 Members Report Posted October 16, 2014 GREAT LOOKING CASE !!! WHERE DID YOU GET THE PATTERN ? LOVE TO SEE THE INSIDE. Quote
Members 9tpi Posted October 16, 2014 Author Members Report Posted October 16, 2014 GREAT LOOKING CASE !!! WHERE DID YOU GET THE PATTERN ? LOVE TO SEE THE INSIDE. Thanks ! No pattern. A sketch on a napkin, knife and a ruler. I like the design process a lot so I try to not use patterns. The inside is unlined. Just two vacant compartments; nothing to really show.
