Well here’s the new case I made.

Started with a leather briefcase(with a lock) and a sheet of highgrade packing foam that my work computer came in.

Used a tube from a “caution” tape roll and a straight blade exact-o knife for my incisions.

I think it turned out wonderful, with plenty of space to keep my tools and paper and pencils for sketches.

The finished image is attached.

I also apologize for the blur from my camera.

Not sure why it wouldn’t come into focus.

I like the case, but the foam looks poorly cut. Instead of using a blade, take an empty tomato paste can and, using sandpaper, sharpen the edges. Then just twist it into the foam. You can make perfectly cut circular holes with it.
