The briefcase was made from a template. I bought an old, battered briefcase from an antique shop for £10. Took it all apart and used it as a template. The gusset system was a challenge. Lined with pigskin. vegtan, dyed with Spanish brown pro dye. Also made the handle from scratch. Didnt have a clue, but it worked out ok
These are great items. I love the briefcase and how you used a vintage one to make a pattern.
That was a good attempt. Keep it up and with a lot of practice you can perfect it.
Welcome to the forum Michael! You've made some really nice projects there. I especially like the full size top frame case, very classic.
I'm guessing by the Rolson tool rack you're in the UK?
very nice my friend
