Hello all,
I had been considering buying the Axepack that you can purchase with the GVG for something like $20 extra (I didn't purchase one when I originally got my GVG so it would have been $35-$40 at this point), but I decided it would be more fun and perhaps more appropriate to make my own custom case for this wonderful tool. I used an interestingly-shaped cigar box which I found at a local tobacco store, some foam from an old camera case which I had kicking around, and the decoration on it is a little meditating Buddha medallion/coin I found at one of my favorite local stores. I do not necessarily consider myself to be a Buddhist, though I do appreciate much of the philosophy, I just figured it would look nice and it might help to create a peaceful new home for my most useful and elegant piece of glass.

I apologize for the low quality of the pictures, I do not own a digital camera aside from the one on my cell phone. But I just wanted to share my new creation (and perhaps show it off just a tiny bit ), and I figured you folks might appreciate it. I would be thrilled to hear anyone's questions, comments, suggestions for improvement, or see pictures if anyone else has a nice custom-made case that they would like to share!

Wow, awesome job there. I like it a lot. I think the Buddha adds a nice touch to it.

I personally have the axe case, which i love, but would not be disappointed if i had one like yours.

Very cool

Thats very cool

Thanks guys!
