Members plinkercases Posted September 25, 2018 Members Report Posted September 25, 2018 Made for an airgunning friend to carry his favourite tool and light both of which had worn through several nylon jobs. Sadly he is still waiting for the matching belt.... I used to make more the folded "box" cases and then got into the molding but there is something to be said for this look as well I think...certainly harder to pattern!

Members Retswerb Posted September 30, 2018 Members Report Posted September 30, 2018 That looks great! Nice work. Quote
Members battlemunky Posted September 30, 2018 Members Report Posted September 30, 2018 That looks awesome Plink. I made one for just a multitool and love the boxed look. Your bottom corners look a LOT better than mine does. Quote

Members kiwican Posted September 30, 2018 Members Report Posted September 30, 2018 I like that look and build it in to a just about everything i make that's going to be outside. Drainage holes are important! Quote
Members plinkercases Posted September 30, 2018 Author Members Report Posted September 30, 2018 Yes i agree wet molding is not always the method needed by function. I had read once that that basket weave was employed on duty equipment to hid scuffs rtc and that tooling of this particular pattern gave the leather a tougher substance due to compression of rhe fibres. Sounded fair... I think i may go back to this style for soem cases i am stocking up on.

Members Riem Posted October 1, 2018 Members Report Posted October 1, 2018 Apart from the very nice basket weave, the construction method is also appealing. Can't recall seeing that style on here before, but this one sure came together in such a great way. Definitely now on my list of "must make one" list...

Members plinkercases Posted October 1, 2018 Author Members Report Posted October 1, 2018 Thanks Riem. Its the basic folded box kinda case from the stohlman book. Once you get the hang of the patternung that are pretty slick to put together.
