My new pistol box

Here are a few pictures of my new pistol box based on plans from Dick Flagg. Plywood laminated in birch. Gil H. scope mount, I drawer with glides. Felt lined. Nickel 3/4" lock. The Walther SSP is not included :-)

Instead of traditional corner protectors, I used 3/4" x 3/16" aliminum strip drilled and countersunk every inch.

Don't know about your place, but if I put that box on my dining room table, contents might very well be used on .....ME. Smiling. Perhaps you included some cushioning?

Neoprean cushions on the bottom

Very nice job! I'm sure it took a lot of time, and looks good.

As for the box on the dining room table, I don't think it hurt the box. Kind of reminds me of a date I brought home quite a few years ago... I had a lead pot on the kitchen stove where I was ladleing some Lyman 452460s a day before. She said "you have been single for a while haven't you".

I used Dick Flagg's plans as a guideline and modified them as I went along. Here is what I used:

Wouldn't you know.... I go to look at this site and Geocites has been shut down as of today. You wouldn't happen to have a PDF file you could post would you ?

Thanks.
