Custom Match Case - Finally Done - Pics Inside

[Diomedes Industries]

Well I finally got the match case project off to anno - and within a week - Bill from CCM / DPM had them back to me. They turned out AWESOME! The Type Three anno is ungodly tough - I tried to scratch a hidden portion with a stainless steel pick - only to take metal off the PICK!

So I had to test the water proof portion of the match case:

I first submerged the case in water overnight:

The match came out dry:

Second strike - I had fire:

Here are a few more - I made six in total - just to show off the different types of lathe work I did:

TF - Those look great! Its been fun watching this project come together. (BTW, you could replace some of those matches with match-sized pieces of fatwood so that you had tinder right there with you.)

Are there any plans of producing these? I'd be interested in one as well.

Guys - these are BLATANT rip off of K & M match case - they are just as good and a LITTLE modification would put the ferro rod in it.

He sells them for 25 dollars - I would have to sell them for 75 and violate patents - no thanks.

Plus - Keith is a great guy.

Buy them from him.
