On Going Readers of this Blog may remember I decided to get all fancy and make
a flogger on the Steampunk theme.
(for those that missed that post, Click here )
I also teased the beginnings of a carry box for it.
Here is the completed box.
Sorry about all the pics but it was an interesting project!
I started off with a cheap wood decorative Chinese made box from Amazon:
(Didn't have to pay the tariff since this was an Amazon return)
Made sure the flogger was going to fit:
The first thing needed done was replace the ugly ass hinges:
With these:
The new brass hinges worked much better and, of course, looks nicer than the originals.
Even from the inside:
Then I wanted to snazz things up a bit so added brass corners as feet to the base of the box:
(the wood has a fake trim that I didn't want to risk taking off so capped the corners over it. I didn't do a real good job, so the box does not sit level but close enough)
So that being done,
I thought this thing could use a little more brass:
And this cheap ass ugly bastard just had to go:
But with what, you may ask?
That's Right! More Brass:
The finishing touch was to put some batting in the bottom interior and cover it up with
some green velvet.
(the wife had some handy, so didn't have to buy new)
Now my Steampunk has a nice new home:
Plus the obligatory vid clip with my bad camera work and narrating:
