    Since I already forgot the first prototype on the Metro a new version weill be made. I have some improvements that I will make to the new one. I was at an leather workshop yesterday. It lasted for about 1.30 hours and showed the different techniques used to make a belt. One of the tools used was a leather edge cutter:

    This will make shure that my edges are smooth and nice on the next version. I also consider making the "flaps" (leather edges that cover the short side of the wooden box) Symetrical. Maybe even putting two bolts on each side so it stays put.

  • Tada!

    First prototype finnished! I Decided to make the sides a single peace so the glue would adhere more easily. I also decided to forget it on the metro. sigh..

    Lasercut box assembled an leather pattern cut out on the lasercutter. The box has been sanded with a beltsander on the edges. I used "Hammer on " buttons to well, attach them to the leather.

    Well, this is why I build this. My previous worbla card holder is a little bit worn out.

    Tada!
