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 not paying 80 bucks for a belt!!! It's a strip of leather. How hard could it be? 4 years and 3 grand later.... I have a belt I can finally live with.

Stitching is like gravy, it's only great if you make it every day.

From Texas but in Bossier City, Louisiana.

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:
