Hello gang:
Thought I'd share some pictures of my latest shop project, a "French-fitted" storage box for my Uberti Schofield.
Got the plain box for $20.00, spent $5.00 for a lid support, $3.00 for green felt, and $30.00 for the cavalry belt buckle, crossed cavalry swords and oil bottle from Dixie Gun Works -- and with the addition of a few hours labor -- Voila', here's a neat felt-lined storage box.
I cut the first form for the gun from 1" structural foam, which cut really easy on my scroll saw, and then when the dimensions were correct, I transferred those to a 3/4" piece of pine. I have to admit, the "French-fit" felt lining came out much better than I'd anticipated! Kinda impressed myself --
-- might just have to make another one to see if it was a fluke or not...
Does the Schofield shoot any better??? Nope, but since it sits more than it shoots, at least now it's sitting in style.
Tight groups!
