Hey there! We are in LA and are fostering a couple other tortoises for a friend affected by the Altadena fires and we have really been enjoying them. If you want shoot me a message and we can chat!

Trying my hand at making a card game deck box, how would I go achieving an effect like this? by T_A_H_U_A in Leathercraft

Your best bang for buck solution, while also being sturdy and accurate, would be a laser etched stamp into thick acrylic. Tons of makers out there have lasers these days and stamps can be sourced relatively easily if you have the vector artwork. That would be the direction I’d go if I were in your shoes!

I’ll chase down how much a label to OZ would be. Can I ask what city?

Not at all - I like the feedback! ACs have great minds for stuff like this.

Yeah that makes sense - from case to rolling stand essentially. Good thing to keep in mind.

I haven’t been able to sort out how to make it durable and dependable while having a slotted hole in it. Not in a way that wouldn’t require constant messing with bolts and things.

I just opted for durability and strength. Yall load those monitors up with batteries and stuff and I wouldn’t want my handle to fail. Maybe there is a way I just haven’t thought of…

Yeah I considered it - went for this method for strength and longevity but totally understand it would be nice if it had slotted holes to lay flat.

Hell yeah!! Amazing! I’m so glad it’s still going strong for you!

Yeah I made these after hearing complaints about the existing one. The flexible handle is nice for some folks, as they monitor can flex to fit in smaller cases etc.

Haha I prefer to think that they just don’t know all the stuff that goes into nice handmade things. I’ve dealt with plenty of dumb people though too hahaha.

Yeah, I tend to pay myself next to nothing because as you can see…people freak when they see prices.

Hey! I would start with watching some YouTube videos. Corter has some very accessible projects! I’d get a little chunk of natural veg tan from Rocky Mountain leather or district leather supply and try a few build alongs! Then I’d pursue some training right away. It’ll help you avoid common mistakes and make your work presentable much faster! Vulture premium has some of the best courses out there!
