Classic Duty type mutlitool and flashlight case

[plinkercases]

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!

That looks great! Nice work.

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.

Thanks for the compliments.

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!

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.

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...

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.
