New toy
After a few days of searching through the bay for an old two leather sided strop box that I could use without any acceptable result, I decided to build my own. So I could chose the size and the shape to fit my preferences
I want to share with you some pictures, hoping you can get at least part of the pleasure this activity gave me.
1) Just back from the DIY shop
2) Glueing
3) In the white (the handle was intended to be a curtain holder end!)
4) Varnished and with leather on both side, preparing the razor soft cradle
5) Finished! The inside...
6) ... and the outside
The leather came from an old bag.
Total cost lesser than € 12.00!
Hope you enjoyed

Well done! That looks very nice. Now, will you explain please, does that box have leather on 2 sides and is there 2 separate storage compartments for razors? and how does the top latch close?
Nice work,
