Carbon Fiber Briefcase Project: Updated
May 15th, 2009 Paul Posted in Projects, Technology |
This blog will chronicle my attempt at making my own custom Carbon Fiber Briefcase. This is something that I’ve wanted for years and years, but the only ones commercially available are ridiculously expensive. As much as I might want one, there is no way on earth I could ever justify $2000+ for one. And honestly, that’s a ludicrous price, as I know what the materials cost.
My goal is to construct a fully carbon case, similar to the “Zero Halliburton” one pictured here. I did not want to go the cheap route and simply “wrap” an existing case, or even worse just do flat panels and mount those in a standard shell. I wanted to go all out and make a proper fiberglass mold to create my case halves the right way. I’ve got most of my materials ready to go and started on some preliminary steps.
