Pen case protitype.

[Gunsmith Fiamma]

Hello mates,
since wood's pen cases cost too much for my budget, I tried to design e build one.
This is only a prototype and it looks very raw, but I want to know what you people think of this.
The wood is obeche and here in Italy is very budget friendly



Cheers
-Francesco

I like the idea of that Francesco, Turners Retreat do one similar in the UK, it can be seen at Rosewood Flip Double Pen Box

Hi Francesco can you loose the screws for the hinge and put a hardwood dowel in place

Yes mate, the screws are only for keeping the lid in place.
The finished product will have wood dovels, beacuse the screws are really ugly :-)

I like the idea and that will be very nice when you've got rid of the screws. I like that it doubles as a desk holder as well
