Man, this Underwood 3-bank is so cool and I want to bring it downtown. Too bad it doesn't have a handle anymore. |
Well, this $1 belt at Goodwill is just about the right size... |
Size the belt by looping it through the brackets and putting it where it is comfortable for your hand. Then mark it and cut it. |
Make sure you get the right size sex-nuts by taking the belt and the typewriter case to Lowe's (bring the typewriter too because people always think it is cool). |
Haha, sex-nuts... |
Line it up, mark it, and drill those holes. Doesn't matter the case is 90 years old and in good shape, you are making better. |
Put the female sex-nut through the case. The reason you are using sex-nuts by the way is so that they are flat inside the case and do not scratch your typewriter. |
Wow, the edge on that leather strap looks a little cheap and crappy. Better go to the jewelry section at Michael's and buy some ribbon clamps. |
Yeah, get the biggest vice grips you can and just crush the hell out of them. They're not going anywhere now. |
Put it all together and oh hey, it almost looks period. Excellent. |
