just got a few little bits to do now. A restraining strap to hold the lid open and fix the box lid and make a little brass knob for it.

Very nice. The thought of having one in the boot of my 4x4 did cross my mind, maybe another day. :) But nice. I hope you got a few Guinness in return @-)
 
Looks amazing Kinsella, thanks for sharing, learnt some new stuff along the way and have really enjoyed the wip throughout, the wood, metal and leather work. You'll have to tell your friends there's a worldwide shortage of oak at the moment. You can't be having them sporting one too.
Cheers
Chris
 
As requested, pictures with the gun in the box.

I suppose i should add, that everything is just slightly undersized and is pushed into place, such that if i turn the box upside down when open nothing falls out. The leather has just enough give to hold it in place. Obviously with age and use this will relax over time. Guess what? I'll cross that bridge when i get there :)
