Proto A5 Leather Ringbinder

[Broch]

I've been toying with the idea of making one of these for a while so, over the few days we were snowed in, I had a go.

I wanted a leather cover for an A5 sized ring binder with a storage sleeve for my iPad mini. I've also been playing with the Raven graphic for a while and this was the first chance I had to put it on leather.

It's very much a prototype; the next one will have a 'wet-formed' inner sleeve for the iPad so the outer isn't distorted when it's inserted. Having said that, I'll probably end up just using it as it is

Nice work Andy, I really like the Raven design.

Did you put a patch on the inner part of the stud to protect the iPad from getting scratched?

Very nice, great Raven.

That's very smart very useable, and it'll age so well too.

Well spotted Steve; yes, I glued a piece of soft leather over it

Thanks for the feedback guys and gals!

That is very cool....I love the Raven and the stippling (not sure correct terminology here?? ) around him. Must be great to have the skills to just make something like this.
