[maltrout512]

I had been making a gun box for a customer and now it is finished and fitted out for the guns. Here are some photo's.

Thats an amazing piece of work, I'd love to know how to do the inlay work!!

very nice - one question tho, why did he want guiness inscribed on his gunbox ? was it to disguise its real purpose ? ( I guess having "purdy" or "Smith and wesson" would've been a bit of a giveaway to theives )

Was the customer Vinny Jones ??

:lol:

Outstanding Craftsmanship

I thought purdy made paintbrushes

Nice box. Is it permanently mounted in the back of the truck. My only concern would be that the veneer edge detail on the top to the box could easily be damaged if things get placed on top.

hi


very nice work , one question why is the box so deep , seeing the layer of gun parts is so shallow :?: any reason for this :?: ,hc

Looking at the deadlocks fitted either side, I'd say these had an influence on the depth - to accommodate the required mortice.

Out of interest, were the owners insurers (house or car) consulted ?

Nice looking sidelocks there!

Who were the makers?

Does the Client have much trouble switching between S/S and O/U?

Thanks for comments. The inlay work I have described a little on this post

The depth of the box, to take the locks on the side and at a future date I can add the drinks layer if required.

The box stays in all the time and is fixed using two HT cables with locks either side.
Many Thanks.
