    Well, I was able to complete one project after my injury, and also before my surgery on Monday. @Primotenore sent me this case a while back, and to put it mildly, it was kind of crappy. It looked like it sustained water damage at one point, but I figured, why not. The top was basically a total rebuild, using just three of the original sides. I gave the case a pebbled finish and brought back the color of the lining using the dry brushing technique. Made a cloth hinge for the back and added it's hinge cover on the inside..........

    It was cancelled because they forgot to include a med needed for pre-surgery. Re-scheduled for around the end of next month.

    Sorry to hear it... I know that has to be frustrating to be put back on the waiting list.
