My son came to me with a challenge: make a case for his flute and piccolo, but keep it the same size as his current flute case’s carrying case. Here is the result, and I kept it within his specs. 16¼ X 4½ X 2¼ made from walnut with brushed brass hinges and catch and finished with a couple coats of wipe on poly. The only thing left to do

Nice job, Brian. I used to like making specialized cases for tools and fixtures, but haven’t done many lately. It’s always nice to have a nice case for your prize possessions. Thanks for the post.

By the way, does your wife know you cut part of that table cloth for the lining in your case? :]

Brian,
Did you rout out the lid? It looks like it is one solid piece.
Nice job!!

I love to see a challenge. I love a challange even more when it is a success!
I hope nothing rattles when you close the lid, nothing bends that shouldnt.
The case looks nicely done.

The “10 lbs in a 5 lb can” challenge. Nicely thought out and executed.

The top is one piece routed out.
I guess I posted this in the middle of a thought: that’s what I get for walking away while working on smething.
Then only thing left to do is line the lid with foam/felt to keep things in place while he is carrying it.
Thanks to all.

Nice looking case Brian. I bet your son has the best case amongst his peers. Thanks for sharing.
