Cheap, simple EP case

[Kirscovitch]

Been bored the last few nights waiting for some clear skies.

Had an old cigar case/briefcase laying around and the GF had some extra foam padding from crafts that she does. Decided I needed something to tote my EPs around Instead of leaving them in the boxes they came in and carrying them around in a satchel.

Took about 10 minutes while watching some TV and works well. Theres even a little room left over for an extra EP or 2. Not the most sophisticated but not bad for a first case and a guy who's all thumbs.

Looks pretty good. I should make one of these too.

Central Wisconsin is a long way off so probably get away with this:
As she does the craft stuff why didn't you get her to make it?

Good point! I figure this is my hobby and if I want something done, I should do it myself.

That and if I had her do it it would have pink ribbons and bows and glitter and other girly stuff

Nice job ! 

Your case looks familiar. These small cases are great for just a few eyepieces and other small accessories. I came across a small makeup case and replaced the interior with mousepad foam, works great for filters.

Looks sturdy. You could even insert some foam into the lid maybe, for even more padding?

I got the case a few years ago from some cigar company. It came packed with cigars. It is a nice sturdy little case. Will work for now until I get a larger collection of EPs.
