That is too cool, Chas. I'll echo Stu's question...is that a kit or did you find the threaded brass parts elsewhere?

Not a new idea Cody, but something from a bygone age that I think is worth reviveing.

Project now is to refine the process to so that I can reduce the time to produce.

Very nice form and function. Really adds beauty to a "funtional" piece.

How about some background info on the case if you have the time. Is the sewing case designed to be carried on the person? Is it carried by both men and women?

Very nice and unique(for now). Thanks!
