Tooled and Wet Molded Multi-Tool Case

[David Bruce]

 

This is a custom case for a leatherman tool that I did recently. It's 5 oz. Hermann Oak that I wet molded on a wooden last that I made.  It' has a hand tooled floral/engraving style design and initial. I used Fiebing's Medium Brown dye and Angelus Matte Finish. I also used a hidden magnetic closure to show off the tooling. It's lined with calfskin and hand stitched.

This is awesome. How did you tool that? What size tools? I would think you would need something fairly small.

That is very beautifully done!  Your magnet closure interests me and also I'd like to know how the belt loop is attached.

[David Bruce]

Thanks,

I used a few different Barry King tools for this along with a modeling tool. The belt loop is attached with brass rivets that are flattened so as to not interfere with the tool.

This is really lovely work.  I have made a couple myself but I've not been able to get the bottom corners anywhere near as clean as yours. What's the best way to go about it?  T

Man, that wayyyyyy outclasses the Leatherman for sure. It is the $5,000 dollar rims on the $500 dollar car. That ain't your fault. Wonderfully clean and well executed.

Really nice job on the tooling and the molding!
