I agree with that, currently I have them in a couple of plastic boxes which work fine but I guess I wanted to make one just for the heck of it, I might end up using it for my trout flies. I use a Polish bread bag as a fly pack and I enjoy the look and feel of vintage stuff so I figured it would go great with my pack. Thanks for the link, I'll get some wool patch from them.
I found out my local leather supplier (not tandy) has some sheep skin and they'll sell me a square foot. I'll show ya'll pix when I'm done with it. Still not sure if I'm going to use it but leather working for me is theraputic, I've got more knife sheaths than I actually need lol.
Thanks
