Such homemade It will be useful to people who constantly use roulette when doing work. The tape measure is in a leather case on which a neodymium magnet is fixed. A leather loop is attached to the trouser belt, also with a magnet. Thus, it is very easy to start using roulette and put it back in place. Roulette will never be lost, and if it breaks, you can easily replace it.
Tools and materials:
-Leather;
-Roulette;
-Two neodymium magnets;
-Super glue;
- clothing buttons,
-Tool for installing buttons;
-Knife;
-Scissors;
-Paper;
-Pencil;
-Rule;
-Tools for working with the skin;
Step One: Template
Before starting to make a leather case, the master makes a template out of paper.
Step Two: Skin Cutting
It transfers the template to the skin and cuts the workpiece.
Step Three: Skin Preparation
Before gluing, the skin must be prepared. The master processes the places of application of two skin patches with a scraper to reduce the thickness. The fold lines are slightly “cut” by a special disc. Then you need to wrap the cover around the tape measure, if necessary, cut off the excess material.
Fourth step: gluing the cover
The master glues the cover with super-glue, but, for the possibility of replacing the roulette, the cover can be sewn and a snap button can be added.
The cover is ready and after the glue dries, the master will stick a magnet to it.
Step Five: Mounting Loop
Now you need to make a loop on which the tape measure with a cover will be attached. The master cut a rectangle out of leather and placed buttons on the ends.
Step Six: Neodymium Magnet
Now you need to glue the magnets. On the loop, the magnet is mounted on the inside, on the tape measure outside. When installing magnets do not forget about the polarity.
All is ready. The master is satisfied with the product, and when checking the magnet on the loop even held a hammer.
