AussieMade Report post Posted March 10, 2017 I am a suffering asthmatic and unfortunately my asthma has been gone down hill over the last few years. So I decided to start training back in Martial Arts. I am still struggling with my asthma while training and decided to come up with a Prototype Turbuhaler Asthma Puffer Holder for the Turbo Inhalers (eg. Bricanyl which I use) to be able to be worn while training and most other sports or even when out and about in public. I made this is from scrap Kangaroo and a strip of bovine for the latch at the top. and can be attached to a lanyard or to a belt clip, school bag ect. Hoping to make a better one in the next few days, but thought I would show what I achieved last night (took about 15mins to make), ready for a trail run today at training. (Some of my rivets and cuts are dodgy I know (it was late (11:30pm) and I was I was tired, they wont be like this in the final product) Let me know what you think, or what I can improve on it. Or if you have made one show it off. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sofaspud Report post Posted March 11, 2017 That kangaroo sure has pretty grain. Burnishing or even just painting the edges would give it a more finished look. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I love the grain of the Roo, it has a really clean look to it. I probably wont use bovine for the latch on top next time, or use a thinner piece instead of the 3mm I used, and burnish and dye the edge. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Wedgetail Report post Posted March 16, 2017 Looks cool, interesting idea for a practical problem! Re: the edges, try putting a bit of wax on them, lay it flat on your bench top, and then rub it with some canvas or denim scrap. Usually with the tip of your finger you can feel the edge and apply a bif of friction there. Once it starts going you can pick it up and hit any leftover bits. Works for me, might work for you too!
