Great looking case. Did you find some nice slotted brass screws?:)

By the way, is that a Simpson model 260 back there on your bench. That used to be my second right hand many years ago. A fantastic meter that has many advantages over a more modern digital meter.

I did, Bill. I get stuff like that from the same place I get all my boat building supplies; Jamestown Distributors, In RI.
I have had several 260s over the years, and found a series 8 in a pawn shop 2 years ago. Much as I wanted to keep it, I gave it to my son. I have a couple different Flukes (88 variants) and they are OK, if you only want a here-and-now answer, but nothing beats a good analog like the Tripplet or the 260 for getting the full story. Digitals are useless if you're trying to diagnose and electronic ignition.

Superlative! Why choose? Keep making boxes AND keep collecting fine double guns.

...or...

Make some boxes for other guys who are collecting fine double guns.

I have seen these boxes in person and they are beautiful. Although they are perfect for a hammer gun, I am trying to convince Edgar that he could allow a hammerless gun to reside there as well. I know Edgar could make one like this:

In an effort to make the argument that wooden gun boxes were more appropriate for hammer guns, I took two pictures of the same box; one with a hammerless gun, and the other with a hammer gun. All I accomplished was to decide I need to build yet another box for myself, when I get caught up.

Edgar,

That is versatility!! Now you've got me thinking about the same thing; 1 for my 10 ga hammer gun and 1 for my P grade 12.
