Contributing Member fredk Posted February 15, 2017 Contributing Member Report Posted February 15, 2017 Very excellent work so it is A thought about the elastic; what about using thin-ish belly leather. I find it has enough stretch in it to be slightly elastic and will conform to various diameters. I used some as a pen holding loop on somat, it was stretchy enough to accommodate a few diameters of pen sizes I only use velcro on the cheap throw-away items made up from scrap. For my regular items its not allowed, has to be a proper closure fitting. Quote Al speling misteaks aer all mi own werk..

I agree about the Velcro. Quote There are always possibilities....

Members TheCyberwolfe Posted February 18, 2017 Members Report Posted February 18, 2017 I would just assume that the darts would always have a tip attached, and make that bottom pocket enclosed. Make loops like on a gun belt for the barrels, and then have a flap that lays over the top sort of like you do with a tool roll. The other option would be to build it with the hinge at the top rather than the side, similar to this screwdriver case I made.

If I make another one I will probably go more that with that style. Quote There are always possibilities....
