My old case was worn out. I used the metal bars and the zipper and made myself a new case.

That's beautiful! Did you design the sheridan pattern yourself? What did you use to color in the background?

Very nice work!

Thanks Ryan.  I am drawing all my own tooling patterns.  Black dye for the background.  I have the Sheridan Style Carving book and Bob Parks  Western Floral book.  Helps when you can draw a pattern to fit any shape or size.

I've heard about Bob Park's book. I think I'll get it now.

Tim - that is a beautiful case - you have some real artistic talent!  I don’t know that I would want to use that for my tools - it’s too nice!

Wow! That is super nice work! I'd be afraid to hurt it!

I'm willing to donate a rigid tool bag to the cause, if it keeps that beauty off the jobsite.;)

I'm in agreement with the others here.  That bag is way too nice to carry onto a job site.  That's a beautiful piece of work!

*applause* That's a great looking bag! A very nice design, with great tooling and coloring. 
If I had done that, I'd carry that thing everywhere, not just to the job site.  You never know when you might need that cordless drill in the grocery store, y'know... :lol:

That is a great work of functional art!  I love your design and workmanship.  I'm reading Gordon Andruss' book on western floral design and really appreciate what goes into coming up with a design like that.

That is incredible! Did I mention my last initial is 'S'. Just sayin'!
