Incredible makeover 1960's suitcase

Step by step makeover procedure for a 1960's suitcase.
Here is a list of the MATERIALS and TOOLS I've used

To disassembly the suitcase I've used:
- wood chisel
- cobbler pincer

To remove nails from the all the hinges and from the wooden pieces
- cobbler pincer

To clean the small pieces of wood:
- 80/120/240 grit sandpaper

To clean the metal pieces
- the black + decker light drill driver
- wire brush set: 2 disc brushes - coarse (the grey one) and fine, which is much more softer (the yellow one)
- hand plier to hold on the metal pieces while brushing

To straighten the metal pieces that were damaged either with the passage of time or by the dismantling process i’ve used a light hammer.

To cover the exterior I've used brown synthetic leather.

To glue the synthetic leather:
- brush
- a slow-drying adhesive usually used in the shoe making process
- hand cutter to remove the excess leather
- rapid stapler gun to fix better the borders

To fix in position the metal pieces:
- small steel nails

To cover the interior I've opted for a synthetic beige leather which I glued with the same adhesive that I've used on the exterior part.

Thanks for watching !
