Very nice.
Since you asked… how about the strap.

Hé, thanks, the strap is made by me with an old military leather and sewn in gpf handmade buckle, vintage three plies garanteed!

I bought a little table top drill press from Amazon, so I've been working on refining my technique on enlarging the Ali X 6154 case lug holes to 2mm. Also through several attempts I managed to figure out how to nicely finish the ends of the 2mm steel rod that I cut to size. I'm making these so that they fit firmly in place without requiring compression tubes but also tap out reasonable easily.

Spent some time today on case work as well - nothing drastic just some edge softening.

Cool
