I travel a lot for work and take my tools with me to give me something to do at night instead of drinking and staring at the walls too much. This really is where the hobby has come into its own.

The Nikons came with a case, but it was haphazard at best. I watched a YouTube video and thought I could do it better. The leather is the same pull up bison I made the wine tote from that I posted last week and this project taught me how to do box and butt stitching. Not bad for a few quiet nights in a Hilton.

Hey that looks great! It actually looks a lot like the case for my grandpa's binos that got handed down to me.

Absolutely sick. Looks super good.

How do you deal with cleanup while working in a hotel room though?

That can't be easy.
