Making a tricked out jewelry case

Well I like to go to shows and sport my wire wraps for sale but all I've had is a lame used plastic shelled foam padded pistol case. I wanted to move up so I got a new alluminum shelled Trikon double pistol case. It's bigger, stays propped open at the right angle on it's own, has two locks and a hidden area in the bottom for storing things.

I thought it was cool... but not Nattywraps cool... so I started a project and right now I'm in phase one. The case was lined inside with grey egg crate badding which is good because it protects the wraps and holds them pefectly in place but I wanted some style... Sooo... I added purple silk velvet!

Here's pics of it closed and open... WITH THE VELVET@!



And open (the velvet looks much nicer in person... I did a really good job putting it into the case. It looks very professional):



For my next phase, I will be buying a plasma blue led PC case light kit and adding that into the top, to shine down on the wraps. It will be switch operated and run on a little battery pack I will install in the top.

It's gonne be great when I'm all finished. This will really help when I go trying to sell to stores and whatnot.

Peace,
Isaac

 

That looks really nice. Where did you get the case from? I like it.

 

got it on ebay... was just under 30 with shipping and arrived the next day with a ring at my door. the brand name is "Trikon" this one is *about* 16 x 9 which is a tad bigger than I really wanted... it's fine though. They do make one which is about 12 x 9 and I think I will be getting one of those soon too. I can use the bigger case for when I'm carrying a lot and I can use the small case for more out and about type stuff. I can use a different color velvet and light for the next one! WEEE!

 

Thanks for the info. That would be a great display tool for my chain maille jewelry. You have inspired me.

 

wow thats awsome, I wish I had the money to start makeing jewelry, I love to do it but is expensive to start!

 

Looking good.... What Cant wait to see it all finished

 

It turned out supa good!



The picture doesn't really capture the lighting that the case has. I'm soo happy with how it looks though. This will really help me sell at shows.
