Brief/attache case in wood

[Falch]

My latest creation, for myself.
A brief/attache case in wood. It holds my 13" Mbp (or a big pile of paper), Ipad mini and some other stuff. It is made out of white oak venered mdf, white oak, leather and various brass parts.
I made a "frame" out of 15mm white oak, joined together with mitre lock joints, then i cut panels of venered mdf, that had leather glued to one side, that are rabeted in the frame.

The case is a tad heavy, i could have made the frame thinner, but would have run into problems with mounting the hinge.
But, atleast its a sturdy case, and protects my laptop with suave.

Enjoy

Nice job I like it  [big grin]

Fully loaded that must be heavy indeed. Not that you'd want to test it but how well do you think it would hold together if dropped?

That's beautiful.  Don't ever let a baggage handler near it.

 

[wow]

I love it, but I'd be afraid to carry it for fear of it getting damaged!

That is a very, very nice looking piece - well executed.  I have often thought of building something like that but never got around to it.  Thanks for posting.
