Custom Leather Case Work

[ForumGhost516]

Hey everyone I was at Valley Forge last year and there was a guy doing custom case and leather work. I would love to find out which case would be good for doing such a job and who was doing the leather work.

Thanks
Charlie

The company is Castillo Leather Goods. www.castilloleathergoods.com I think. Gil Castillo had a pyrograpgher there to do the work. This is the art of using a burning tool - similar to a soldering iron but with many more attachments - to create designs. He basically can reproduce any design you give him and also do stuff freehand like an airbrush artist.

It is a very good way to customise something quickly and on-the-spot so to speak. Any leather case works and the lighter the background color the better.

Best is you buy a case from me with no tooling and then get Gil's guy to customise it.
