hmm… should have added some AXE Body Spray for when you break a sweat, and maybe some protection hehe.

I kinda expected it to be full of nothing but duct tape ;)

Nicely done, the leather gives it a great look.

Looks like It could be a heirloom box.

Nice job! Cool story.

Love the kit! Neat design. Looks like a great small parts box!

Great box and kit, reminds me of college days! Tell him to forget the Axe, no woman in her right mind wants a lungful or taste of those chemicals! Need to add WD-40 pen!

Thats going to look nice after a little wear.

Just a suggestion but if you have a extra square of leather, you could rivet that in place of the name tag. You could emboss the letters with some homemade round and square stamps. Or they have leather branding tools.

Yes Jerry’s suggestion. Leather can be “wood”burned quite easily.

lol i was going to say the same about there being only a roll of duct tape in there.

-- Got Wood?

I was expecting protection, bottle opener, card for bail bomdsman…oh wait , that is what was in my kit for college. Nice project.
