| Check out my new gear case
Check out the case that my dad made for me. It started last Christmas - he was visiting, and I commented that I was thinking about getting a hard-side golf case to keep my gear in. We took a look at a couple and he decided he could make something better. I didn't think much of it, and went on using the pear-bag I had been using. This week, a huge package arrived by UPS, and in it was this: (look at the attached files - you'll have to rotate, the Bulletin board wouldn't let me upload portrait, only landscape).
Cool, huh?

| Wow, a high-grade wood fencing 'bag'. Very impressive, and pretty too! 
Not exactly something you'd like to check in at flights though...

| ohemgee! That really rocks! Although I'd have to get what Zilverzmurfen's saying... What if the baggage handlers split the wood? They're pretty rough! | |

| Dude ! that is the coolest case. I'm not sure I'd want to hand it over to some baggage handlers at the airlines.. and I'm not sure in the long run how wet/ sweaty clothes are going to ripen or dry in it, or stuff like oil or glue might do to the finish, but its a work of art from a woodworking standpoint. Nice......
Socal, huh? I'll have to look for the bag at tournaments... | |

| whoa- that's sexy
I'd bet its a bit heavy, and id be concerned about just throwing it into a trunk or some other storage thing, or just wheeling it around, but still, very sharp looking.
too bad somone (BG/FP/LP/AF/UHL/etc)dosent make one of these in plastic or something, that'd be sweet. | |
