Something I would like to share with you -
You probably remember that I already made the case to justify giving my grandson an M1 Garand for his 13th birthday.
Well, the day is approaching, and I made a case for it. This case is not to justify the M1, but to keep it and perhaps to show it off. I inlaid the M1 on the lid using two types of walnut, cherry, mahogany, on birch.
The case, upright and laying flat:
Let's open it up. (Keyed lid locks.)
A closer look at the inside of the lid.
There is glass (acrylic) protecting the contents, so how do we get them out - or do we? Turn the case around and let's look at the bottom.
Undo three locks, and the bottom opens up, thus.
Look at the contents contained within the bottom.
Of course, everything can easily be removed. (The foam is high-density, and the rifle and other parts are completely embedded within the foam and very securely held in place.)
================================
I had fun designing it and then building it.
My Grandson should like the rifle and the case to keep it in.
Just thought you might like to see it... Alex
