Binders


Recommended Posts

I made these the other day. They were surprisingly easy and cheap to make. 3" PVC, PVC glue, hinges, magnets, weatherstripping, and some eye screws.

You may consider thinner weatherstripping because they dont fit big wristed people very well.

Will do thanks for the tip (doesn't Leia have small wrists lol)

These are amazing, what do you use as a case and where do you put your case? To you put it on your belt?

OK I have started building my own tk binders. Now my question is how have these binders become the binder of choice across the TK 501st? I see them no where in the movies. Just asking.

Another option is the Disney binders. I have a few pairs of those.

I find the Disney binders difficult to operate because of the clasps. They are difficult event without the helmet on.

I may try making some PVC ones with the magnet; much easier to operate!

Did you use the 3" on the outside pieces as well?

 

Would you mind showing a close up of how you did the magnets, please.

 

What glue did you use?

Leia wore the binders when she was yelled at from her Dad for taking the car, er, secret plans. I have the Disney binders. The clasp was tough at first but if you use them they break in nicely.

What did you use for the hinge, and how did you fasten it?

It looks like you used screws, but they would need to be awfully small, wouldn't they?

I used a small cabinet hinge and used Chicago screws to mount them
