      Why couldn’t one of his male or female fam members not inherit this trunk? I didn’t realize luxury trunks were gender specific? I’m confused. And what’s wrong with him making himself a trunk. Weird comment.

    Amazing work! While watching the first video I wondered what you would do about the nails penetrating. Did you just cut them off or did you peen them as well? Peening them all seems a little ... much, but will they hold fine without?

    • @boreoff
      @boreoff  10 місяців тому +10

      Hi, thanks very much, and great question - I had originally planned on riveting them all as I wanted to stay true to the vintage methods (I don't think the modern ones are) but that was not possible partly because of access/space - in the end I riveted the handle - it needs this strength, and riveted some of the accessible Belt nails but just cut the others as seemed overkill and unnecessary. I clinched the closures as that was also important and some selective key base frame ones too - I wanted to film more of the riveting but I just couldn't get the lights, the camera and the hammer in there while balancing the trunk on those aluminium plates that acted as a counterforce!! I managed to film the lid stay - exact same method as that. Choosing to make a half size version of the LV trunk ended up causing me all sorts of difficulty - the larger trunk would have been easier in the long run! I was thinking about doing a voice over on a shorter version of the video as I learned quite a lot on this project and wondered if that might be of interest?

      @boreoff  19 днів тому +1

      Thank you, very kind. With the filming and trying to work out the design using photos etc it all seemed to take a long time but I have no idea actually as it is just for fun and I grab short moments in the workshop in between life, 2 kids, 2 dogs and work...! But once the design was bedded down, it is not that time consuming and a project anyone could take on with some woodworking experience. The leather handle is probably the most difficult element as saddle stitching in thick leather is challenging...! all the best

    • @boreoff
      @boreoff  9 місяців тому +1

      Yes I agree - I asked my son to help me out as everything was moving all over the place! You really need what the french call a 'bouterolle' - it's a heavy weight tool that can butts up against the head of the nail- that you can't seem to buy anywhere these days - there are lightweight ones on Amazon but they are not good enough and not necessarily the correct size. Also the nails have solid brass heads but actually have a steel shank which is very strong but much harder to rivet. I am used to riveting copper not steel but I got there in the end by placing those alu blocks under the head..what do you do? Just wondering? cheers
