Members Anvas Posted January 22, 2015 Members Report Posted January 22, 2015 Hi, Just showing off my musical instrument (Greek lyra) case. Specs: - Shell material : Composites technology . Two layers of epoxy resin impregnated glass cloth with intermediate core / sandwich of expanded closed cell polyesterene. -Covered with Italian water resistant 1 mm leather. - The interior is lined with foam , in combination with synthetic wool felt - 3 Storage compartments with humidity absorbing crystals drawer made from 2mm aviation plywood /epoxy varnish finish. -Safety belt - binding instrument. The whole case works like a helmet .-Stainless steel hexagon bolts with locking nuts on all fittings. -Leather shoulder straps, padded. Well.... ok, this is not an entirely leather product.. there are also many imperfections on this case. This kind of cases are time and money consuming. The whole process takes me many days to complete... Greetings from Greece !

I do not think I would have the patients to do something like that, how big of a hide did you need? Thank you for your kind words! I involved into professional leather working 6 months ago.. I used to be an engineer and a hobbyist air-modeller. I'm fresh, so i still have the patients :-) This case is 28'' long. It roughly needed a half hide. Now I am working on a full carbon fiber shell case with suede lining.
