New (Altoid) Travel Case

My first travel case. I fab'd a latch for added secured closure, and hidden storage for 1 blade (possibly more after some more work), under lid. Additional materials: dense packing foam that came with curtain rod packing, thin cardboard for underside of lid (trimmed out thin recess for blade storage, and cotton fabric.
First, I drilled the holes for the latch.
After cutting to fit case, I carved the foam so the components sat recessed in.
wrapped in fabric.
Then wrapped the thin cardboard~ still need to add a small pull tab for easier removal.

That looks great. You made me think of something that you could try for the outside of the tin. I been enjoying looking at projects people make within the steampunk trend. Seeing your travel case made me think of this page:

Thank you all. I enjoyed making it. Gunslinger1108, that's a good idea. I used to hand engrave, maybe I'll give it a try on this
