Members Gullex Posted February 6, 2019 Members Report Posted February 6, 2019 Hi folks! This is a hardened eyeglass case I finished last night, using the hardening technique I developed and some hinges I tested the other night. I wrote up the build process here: https://onicrafts.com/making-a-hardened-leather-hinged-eyeglass-case/ Quote
Contributing Member Ferg Posted February 6, 2019 Contributing Member Report Posted February 6, 2019 I can appreciate your creativity. Unfortunately, I would not buy it since that is very rough and it would scratch my eye glasses. Ferg Quote

The ones I offer for sale will have foam and fabric lining on the inside. Quote
Members YinTx Posted February 6, 2019 Members Report Posted February 6, 2019 Lining would definitely improve the package. I like the design, been wanting to make an eyeglasses case, but haven't really liked the "floppy" versions out there. Hadn't taken the time to design one I like, this would be a great starting point.

I realize you probably couldn't wet form it. Suede lining may be your cheapest and best interior. Ferg Quote
Members kiwican Posted February 7, 2019 Members Report Posted February 7, 2019 Thats a great looking case! Quote
Members battlemunky Posted February 7, 2019 Members Report Posted February 7, 2019 Buckskin lining for the win! Looks like a great idea and I don't know if I've ever seen the hinge that way before. Pretty cool. Quote
Members VYO Posted February 9, 2019 Members Report Posted February 9, 2019 Great idea! I like it. Quote
Members ScoobyNewbie Posted February 9, 2019 Members Report Posted February 9, 2019 Could we see the other side of the hinge? Quote
