I ordered The Writing Box from Galen Leather’s Seconds Sale!

Unfortunately my box started to warp! I'll do an update video shortly but wanted to let you know that it is a possibility.

Have you used it since filming this and did this video earn you enough to cover the cost of buying this for this video?

[@Sonicman415]

Yipes, have you written to them about it?

[@toxmot]

@@Sonicman415 yes, they said to try to keep it closed and put books on top. The warping didn't go away but it still closes if I force it.

😍Your drawings are amazing!! The writer's box looks soo nice! That wood has such a nice tight grain, it looks like it will be very sturdy for a lifetime. If you want to try gluing leather I would recommend hide glue - it's a natural glue used in lutherie for wood joints, but it's made out of boiled down leather. Normally it comes in a crystal form and you need to put it in a double boiler type system and it's difficult to work with, but there is a kind that is in liquid form made by Titebond and easy to apply with a little paint brush then clamp for 24 hours until it's dried. I can send you some if you'd like.

It is holding up well, I just keep it closed just in case of warping but I heard they fixed that. But you never know. The backing is still intact. If it does come apart, I'll get some from you, thx so much!

[@nezzydoodles]

oh my sandpaper and blending stumps, love the content of the box, pretty useful items

[@toxmot]

I will be changing the items inside the box as I go, it's so versatile.

I bought that box about 5 years ago. It’s beautiful

[@toxmot]

It is, unfortunately I can barely close mine now

[@beautybug1831]

Thanks for watching

FUN! Thanks for the video. There are several Galen Leather products on my wish list and the Writing Box is one of them. Did you get the leather straps "carry-on kit" too? I have a pen case, a passport Traveler's Notebook cover, and some of their Tomoe River paper notebooks and they are all great. Would highly recommend.

[@toxmot]

Yes I did get the carry on straps. Unfortunately my box has started to warp. I'll do an update video. Yes I saw they had the notebooks and I've tried the Cosmo air light a5. Haven't tried the rest of them.

[@arcajour-i2r]

I guess a regular ink bottle won't fit?

[@toxmot]

Definitely won’t fit that..
