alyctes Posted December 19, 2015 Share Posted December 19, 2015 (edited) hi folks I am curious about how a hard case is put together (I want to put a custom lining in a case for a project). The case will be wooden and rectangular. I'm expecting to remove the lining from an existing case and reline it. I'd like to know what I'm going to do before starting Can anyone enlighten me? I'm a little reluctant to start ripping one apart, at least from a position of ignorance. Any info gratefully received Edit for clarity Edited December 23, 2015 by alyctes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alyctes Posted December 20, 2015 Author Share Posted December 20, 2015 (edited) Or, for that matter, recommend me a book. I can still read, I think... Edited December 20, 2015 by alyctes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bartelby Posted December 20, 2015 Share Posted December 20, 2015 What kind of hard case are we talking about. Rectangular, wooden, ABS, shaped? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alyctes Posted December 20, 2015 Author Share Posted December 20, 2015 Rectangular, definitely. Wooden, probably. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pete.young Posted December 22, 2015 Share Posted December 22, 2015 One technique I have seen people use is to make a box and then cut it in half. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
discreet Posted December 22, 2015 Share Posted December 22, 2015 Not wishing to be negative or cast nasturtiums on your creative abilities, but I think it would probably save you a world of time and grief if you bought a used case and relined it to your specifications.

You wanted to know how a case is constructed, I thought you wanted to make one yourself. Duh! Edited December 22, 2015 by discreet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
