Bentiron1946 Posted May 15, 2008 Share Posted May 15, 2008 The bent pencils and up turned umbrellas are cool. That is a great bit of whimsy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ThomasPowers Posted May 15, 2008 Share Posted May 15, 2008 Very Nice; did you do all the designwork as well as the execution? This one should show up in the coffee table books on smithing! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

matt87 Posted May 16, 2008 Share Posted May 16, 2008 That is some amazing work there Adrian. Not sure if it's to my taste but certainly well designed and executed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AdrianWood Posted May 16, 2008 Author Share Posted May 16, 2008 The book bag is based on an old style leather school satchel. It is made from 3mm sheet steel, and made slightly oversized to the original. The strap is made from 30x8mm flat bar fullered down the centre to give it a rounded shape. There were even some buckles that were made from 6mm round and had 30x8 as buckle straps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
