February 6, 20188 yr Popular Post In my travels yesterday, I stopped in a gun store to look at a varmint rifle. The manager was my salesman. He's interested in displaying a couple pistol presentation boxes. Then, in the liquor store where I get my Dell Bac, that manager wants a steady supply of wine gift boxes. And, the owner of that knife and gun finishing supply house is interested in a few knife cases. Told them all that I'm slow. None seemed to mind. Looks like I'm gonna be busy for a while. Gotta get the table done and another rifle case. Then, start on little boxes. Fun times ahead.
February 6, 20188 yr Sounds like you're in a position to do some major bartering. Obviously they recognize an opportunity to partner along side a fine craftsman. Good on you Gene!
February 6, 20188 yr WOW! Just hope that all of that doesn't become "work" and take the fun out of woodworking.

This is the part that may keep you too busy. It is a wonderful thing that all these people value your work. I am happy for you.
February 6, 20188 yr Talk about stepping into it. Was there a rainbow that day that you followed? Happy for you to get such opportunity.

But heck, except for the pine wine boxes, everything else will be mesquite. There's enough challenges there to keep me in fun for a while. DAB, I'll leave the cigars to the expert...Waxing Moon. 37 minutes ago, lew said:

February 6, 20188 yr Few decades ago, friend want a display for his old army .45. IT WAS NICHOLE PLATED. When it was finished it kinda leaned back from bottom, used Styrofoam under GREEN FELT to imbed the pistol and clip. Glass covered the front, put a little fence around the front two corners. Cya
