Default INSPIRATION - Rifle/Gun Carrying Case

http://www.artisansofthevalley.com/c...iflecase_l.jpg

I'd been planning for awhile to make a carrying case. I'd looed at
a lot of pictures, but didn't find anything I really wanted to make.
So, I got to thinking about just how i wanted to do up with it, and came
up with a very similar design, except for the innards. I found this one
after I'd already decided on my design. Now I just have to decide on
what hinges and clasps I want. Nothing fancy, maybe something along the
ling of black iron hinges. That's the easy part. The hard part will be
deciding on the handle. May just drill a couple of hole and use a chunk
of rope. I'm not about to try to make it look old, but I would kinda
like it in an old style. That's why I'm concerned about what type of
handle. I'd prefer to make my own, not buy. I'd like leather, but not
reall sure how I'd fasten it on. I'd rather go with rope than just tack
the leather on, I think. No rush, I've got some more measuring to do
before I start, and I've got several other projects to finish up too. I
think I may make a pistol case too, for my .177 pump-up air pistol..
