Progress info update: Yesterday HD troubles and just now I discovered that I mixed up measurements and built the damn thing around the minimum innerlenght so I missed the extra 4" I was gonna have. Phoned my friend and asked him to measure exact actual length. Turns out to be 2" more than what he told me for minimum innerlenght, ha ha I can just laugh at it. I'm like dyslexic with numbers, totally hopeless so stuff like this is expected.

Someone here wrote recently that what makes a good leatherworker is his ability to hide/mask up the mistakes so I'm going for a nice decorative braid at the bottom of the tube wich is attached to a 5" leatherpiece to extend the tube. With all the lacing going on with this one I think it'll look just as good.

Got the final leatherpieces cut out and tooled today, some lacingholes too so mostly straightforward assembly left. Had the worst time making templates for top endpiece and you'll see why later when finished. I'll post pics when main assembly is done before I fit the maintube liner. I'll probably put that on hold to have time for the other stuff. Tube nr 2 has a shorter deadline and Laila wants a purse.

Over and out!
