Hi guys this is one that I have just finished, bar waxing. I want your thoughts on how it could be improved. The triple CD gives an idea of scale as we all know how big they are.

Don't see how that could be improved, looks great to me. Not bad choice in music either

Thanks Stu, the music collection is a little eclectic so you were lucky on that one
.The pouch is based on the possibles pouch that I carry (the first wetform that I made), there is only one other and that one Eric has got.
On the original I used a toggle that I made from a bit of walnut that I had in the garage. I know from other threads that people like options on the closures (sam browne studs, press studs or toggles) and on colours (black not very popular, but browns and tans seem to be quite big).
Obviously the other thing is size, it's good for me, but I don't know what other people think.
Great work on the Queen cd. Nice work mate can't really see any room for improvement.

Thanks mate, I taught Brian May everything he knows, he reckons he could give up the playing around on a guitar bit and do leather work now
Of course any CD left in a car for more than 6 months does metamorphose into "Queens Greatest Hits"
Nice work as always Leon - I like your toggles though (for practical reasons)
I'd love to see you use the closure system on my old possibles pouch (which is all leather and the best I've ever used)

Red, stick up a pickie and I'll look into it, says the man currently waiting on antler toggles
.You order the stuff, they say 1-2 weeks
and then say it could however take a month
I need to find a more reliable source
Its a simple system but it locks up unbelievably tight - when its locked, I can pull full force with one hand and the lid won't open.
I like it becasue its repairable and nothing "wears out" (like poppers can or the leather round a Sam Browne)
This pouch was second hand when I got it but, although worn and stained, is still structurally sound - and the tabs keep working
Here is the pouch open
This best illustrates how to close it
Here it is fully closed
Shout if you need any other piccs to see how it works

Very interesting indeed Red. Let's see if I understand how it works. The lid has two pieces of leather attached, one thick with a horizontal slot, and one thinner that fits in the slot.
You push the thick bit down through the cross piece on the front. You bring the thin piece down over the front and push it through the slot.
You then pull it tight downwards from the back of the thick piece.
Am I correct?

Nice system, similar to the ones on PLCE, but as Eric mentioned there is the difference to the way that the little strap runs through the wide strap. I'll give it a go when I get a chance
Cool! - both your pouch leon and Reds closure!
I used a similar catch once - not the best piccie but I think it shows the idea!
there is a hole that the 'loop' fits through then a tab to tuck through to lock it
Though I think yours is more cunning and neat!

Nice work Graham, oh and happy Birthday
To do the one like reds you would need to have something like English Crew Punches of the correct size if you were to repeatedly get the slot correct.
If you were doing a one off, then cutting with a very sharp craft knife would be an option though.
