Default Po' Southern Boy DIY Set

After looking for a hammer gun for about a year, I bid on this Edgar Harrison at Morphy's and was amazed to win it. It was hard to pull out of a shearling lined gun sleeve due to having hammers, so I got it a hard case. The case looked real empty, so I got it an oil bottle and a striker jar and some snap caps. The lid was pretty barren too, so I found a vintage label for it at Gunnerman Books. Bought some hide glue to stick it in with. Then my glasses were rattling around in their compartment, so I bought a scrap of burled walnut veneer and glued up and oil finished a little lid for it. Needed a knob, so I bought a silver cuff link bezel and some jewelers resin and made me one. Great fun every step of the way.
