This month Aaron is walking you through a pair of tally book covers you'll actually carry every day: a \u003cstrong\u003ePen Lock Tally Book Cover\u003c\/strong\u003e with six stacked card pockets and leather loops that lock the cover shut with your pen, and a slim \u003cstrong\u003eSmall Tally Book Cover\u003c\/strong\u003e with a pocket for your ID or business cards.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhether you keep one in your back pocket at work, give them as gifts, or build a few for your next market, these are quick, satisfying builds with a finished piece that's as useful as it is good-looking.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eAbout The Projects\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe made a pen lock cover for our Field Notes books a while back, and enough of you asked for one in tally book size that we finally built it. The \u003cstrong\u003ePen Lock Tally Book Cover\u003c\/strong\u003e holds our standard tally book, carries six cards in pockets stacked down the inside front cover, and has three tabs that fold over and interlock. Slide a pen through them and the cover locks shut, so you'll never be without something to write with.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003eSmall Tally Book Cover\u003c\/strong\u003e is about as simple as a leather cover gets: four pieces, two sleeves to hold the book, and a card pocket for your ID or business cards. It's a great first build if you're new, and a relaxing one if you're not.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBoth covers come clicked out of Texas Oak veg tan with El Matador bridle interiors. Leave them natural and let them patina with time and wear, or dye and tool them to make them your own.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat Makes This Project Box Different\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis month you're getting two complete projects and two acrylic template sets.
