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.
Very nice, but....

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?

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.
