Popular Post Gene Howe Posted February 6, 2018 Popular Post Report Share Posted February 6, 2018 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.

Grandpadave52 Posted February 6, 2018 Report Share Posted February 6, 2018 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! lew and HARO50 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.

Lew, once the fun is gone, I'll quit. 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: lew, Grandpadave52, HARO50 and 1 other 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buckaroo Posted February 6, 2018 Report Share Posted February 6, 2018 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.
