Hey folks,

Amongst my mountain of orders in December, I had 4/5 days to get this tool roll made in time for a lassie up in Aberdeen who commissioned it as a christmas gift for her partner who is a Scottish carpenter. She wanted his Stewart tartan incorporated somehow, a thistle on the front with their motto and his initials, and for it to be brown. I took the dimensions for the tools that it needed to fit, got everything ordered, and set to work.

Everything is done by hand as usual, which meant a LOT of hand saddle-stitching I can tell you ;)

This was a maddie I must say, put in several 12+ hour shifts to get it done in time, but it was so worth it!

Thanks for looking :)
