I’m working on a second little case, or box. This one’s come out shaped more like a cigarette packet than a card carrying case.
It’s actually a commission. My first, or possibly second? I made a mallet for our pal, Yanni, a while back. That was in response to a request. Was that a commission?
Anyway, Walter, a very nice chap at Shedders & Fixers, said he’d like a little case like my first one. He’s mentioned gifting it to his (I think?) daughter.
A significant improvement over my first one of these is the better more accurate bevelling. And the use of this on the tops and bottoms, as well as the sides. This has resulted in a much slicker look.
The two hardest parts of both this and the precious case, are the cuttting of the box(es), and the the inner-sleeve. I think I need to work out better methods for doing both off these steps.
This has kept me busy most of today. Except for a brief interlude of ‘gainful employment’. The latter took me to Cambridge. A rare occurrence. I picked Teresa up, and we visited Sam and dad, en-route home.
