My own wooden briefcase (corrected msg. was SUITCASE. sorry)

[Max63]

I'd like very much to build my own wooden briefcase, complete with dedicated compartments and all the hardware: bronze protective corner maske, stay-open hinge, handle and lock (preferable by key).

• Has onyone attempted this (with success)?

• Where can I buy the specific hardware (online only, thanks)? Thank a lot, Max

Max63 asks:

Try

search for briefcase. They've got a plan, a stand-open, and other than that, most of the hardware looks standard.

was originally posted by JOAT some time back. It's all wood so it doesn't need any hardware. No plans or anything but you might try contacting the web site owner.

"The Toolbox Book" IIRC by Jim Tolpin, shows a similar briefcase which is actually a toolbox.
