Homemade Cases

**ronlane3** · Oct-03-2005, 10:02pm

In the builders section there was a topic started about building your own mandolin case. I know of a friend that used a large retangle gun case to build an awesome case for his Boseman F-5G.

How about those of you that have built your own cases posting some pictures of them. (I would even invite Mr. Price to post some "in progress" pictures of his cases).

What do you think?

Good idea Ronlane , it will help to find new ideas for building cases .
here is mine , I use 5mm plywood for the top and back , 10 mm lime wood for the side , and I glue a plasticized weaving
for the outside and foam glue in the inside with polar weaving on , and a U white plastic for the contour .
A case made in less than 1 day .It is better than nothing

Here is my newest case finished just a couple weeks ago. Sides and bottom is 1/4 inch luan ply, sides kerfed to bend, doubled and glued. Top is pine glued up and carved. Padding is carpet padding wrapped with some fake suede.
Case Closed.
