Froghunter Posted February 8, 2008 Report Posted February 8, 2008 Here is a portable tool carrier I did in December. I held a three weekend class at my store and these are what we made. I chose a carry handle and no shoulder strap. I also played a little with contrasting colors. I wish I had some pics of the students versions. One of the students was a first timer at carving and did a SUPERB job on such a difficult project! The cover is made out of very low grade saddle skirting. I used Eco-Flo antique dark brown on the sides and Eco-flo Green Tea on the ends and strap. I wish I would have put more thought into the strap as I am no 100% satisfied, but it is removable and some day I may get a wild hair and re-make it. And yes, I do realize it is an ecclectic gathering of carvings.....I think thats what REALLY makes it mine! Tell me what ya think!

Members Randy Cornelius Posted February 8, 2008 Members Report Posted February 8, 2008 (edited) I see you have been to the East. Cool tool box, can we see the inside? If you have the Stolhman books on making cases there is a very good example of making handles for bags and cases like yours. They are easy to make with a little time.
