Members Chiffa Posted October 9, 2015 Members Report Posted October 9, 2015 Hi. I need an advice. I want to give my friend a smoking pipe on her birthday, but what kind of bag to create for the pipe and few accessories? I wanted to create a wooden box, upholstered with velvet inside, but I lack the tools and in addition, the wooden box is not a thing for carrying around all day. I have some experience in leather working and carving, so I just need only ideas what to do 'cos time is slipping away and x-day is close(( and I don't like what google shows me by words "smoing pipe pouch"((( Sorry for my English. I can but hope that you understand meaning of the post)) Quote
Members silverwingit Posted October 9, 2015 Members Report Posted October 9, 2015 Make her a leather box or case via one of the many solutions in Al Stohlman's 3 book set, "The Art Of Making Leather Cases."http://www.amazon.com/Art-Making-Leather-Cases-Vol/dp/1892214946/ref=sr_1_3?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1444406716&sr=1-3&keywords=al+stohlmanGood Luck, Michelle Quote
Members Chiffa Posted October 9, 2015 Author Members Report Posted October 9, 2015 Thanks alot, Michelle Shame on me, I completely forgot about Stohlman's books (perhaps 'cos I don't have any of these books yet). I hope I'll find some references there. Quote
dirtclod Posted October 9, 2015 Report Posted October 9, 2015 Try pipe pouch pattern. Their are several styles of pouches. Quote I'm old enough to know that i don't know everything.
Members MalletMan Posted January 24, 2016 Members Report Posted January 24, 2016 I have two of the Al Stohlman's "The Art of Making Leather Cases" books and they are very helpful. Bob Quote They say that Practice makes Perfect... In Leatherworking, I'd say Perfection is the Art of Practice.
