Just finished this tonight.

Nice work.

Nice pouch, CS. You wouldn't want that lense to accidentally catch the sun - it looks like you could weld titanium with it. LOL.

Great idea turned out superb. Nice work.

Nice work! I have a lens about that same size, I think it came from an enlarger on some photography equipment. I use it all the time to read fine print.

This was a simply magnifier from Walgreens. I took the handle and rim off. $2 I think.

Damn nice work

 

[Mr. Tettnanger]

Look great!

Is the lens glass or a plastic type? My only concern would be trying snap that shut on a glass lens. I really like how you made it! Great job!

You just keep turning out good stuff, CS. Nicely done. Looking forward to your next project.

Looks outstanding! I wish could do that kind of work.

I actually though about that the first time I closed it. Doesn't snap too hard and it doesn't look like it will be an issue.

Great work, and good idea.

I put some moleskin over the snap on the inside of my son's Kindle case, that should work for you too. You certainly don't want to scratch up a nice lens like that. Beautiful leatherwork, by the way!

lord, i hate you people with leather working talent... my poor creations pale in comparison...

NICE work Comanchesniper. love it.

a friend of mine who does sheaths puts his snaps on first, then sews the inner liners over them to prevent scratching the blades. something like that might be possible with your snap covers, if you were to line the case.
