Cherry Briefcase

That’s pretty cool. Where did you get the interior materials?

Actually bought a briefcase and tore it apart for hardware and interior

Wow super nice I have been wanting to make one but couldn’t the interior stuff. Never thought about and old briefcase. How thick are the pieces? I am inspired now.

That is outstanding and what a great job you did on it.

Good,job! I saw one going through security at the airport in Oakland last month. His was made of plywood. Yours is way more elegant.

Great job – and since it’s cherry it will darken over time to a wonderful, dark, rich color!

Thanks for sharing this!

WTCTDF- I would love to share the plans, unfortunately they are in my head, I tend to build on the fly, make adjustments as I screw up.

Oh ok lol, well if you ever draw them out for this one put me on the list! lol

Truly amazing work.

This is way cool. I’m curious. What finish did you apply to this? These things can take a considerable beating if one travels a lot.
