Beautiful case Ken!
Thank you for the kind comment, Ken
@@kennethpaulwoodworking6404 Do you still make cases on order? I would like a shot gun case made by you, any interest?
A true peace of craftsmanship, beautiful work.. my next project in spring. Thank you for posting.
Thank you, and I hope your project goes well. Ken.
You did a beautiful job making this case.
Thank you for taking the time to make this video. Great looking rifle box for the Henry. Where do you buy the screwdrivers you use for the box. Are they hollow ground or standard tips. I like the look of them being polished and finished Rick Brown
Hello, the screwdrivers I used are a brand called chestnut and the company is in Canada, I found them online, I have not purchased from them for quite a while, so I do not know if they are still in business. And yes they are hollow ground. If I remember correctly there were 4 or 5 drivers to a set and they come with a burnishing rod. Ken
The hardware and the precision installation is impeccable. The hardware cost must be high. Lumbar and hardware may be 300 I'm guessing. But for such outstanding workmanship, all worth it! Outstanding.
All materials, including the screw drivers and cleaning rod, as well as the plaque, felt, hardware, hardwoods and finish materials comes out to be a little over $400.
@@kennethpaulwoodworking6404 When you said the case can cost more than the firearm, i thought wow, amazing, and master craftsman.
I'm a disabled veteran. But was lucky enough to be active duty when the computer age was blooming. 25 years later, and many headaches, I'm a master computer engineer. And 12 yr weekend woodworker! Love the finer details in the woodworking I do.
Sub#20 here. I was looking to do the same for my Grandpa's Henry. Beautifully done sir, and made me rethink a few points on my own design. Thank you!
Thank you, and good luck on your case. Ken.
Beautiful craftsmanship
Thank you. Ken.
Beautiful work I wish I had your skills !
Thank you for the kind comment.Ken
very cool gun case. nice work
Thank you. Ken.
Wow, gorgeous design and construction, love the interior design and hardware. Where do you buy the screwdrivers?
Hello, I purchased the screwdriver set online, it was a Canadian company, I believe the name was chestnut. You can just google wooden handled screwdriver set.Ken.
Great job. Curious what hot glue you use? I’ve never found any hot glue that doesn’t fail in short order. Certainly nothing I’d consider reliable enough for a job of this quality.
very nicely done. What does it weigh.
Can you give me the supplier for the name plate. Not finding anyone around here to make them
amazin'!
Thank you very much for the kind words, Ken.
Great job! Where did you get the lid support?
Hello, I get my brusso lid supports from Woodcraft Supply and sometimes from EBay. Brusso has two sizes of lid supports,I use the 1/4” wide for pistol cases and the 3/8” wide for rifle cases.Ken
@@kennethpaulwoodworking6404 Thank you!
How do you wrap the blocks in felt without getting bunched creases?
Because felt is a non woven material it can be stretched and pulled in all directions, you just keep pulling it taught while smoothing it out with your thumb or a piece of wood and when you have it where you want staple it from the bottom to lock it in place. Try it on a practice piece, you will be surprised at how tight a corner you can make. Ken.
@@kennethpaulwoodworking6404 Aha! Thanks.
So you make and sell these cases?
I have made custom furniture for years, but I am no currently taking new orders.Ken.
Just wondering if you sell what you make?
Hello, I am semi retired from cabinet making, so I take very little in the way of new orders.
How thick is the wood ?
Hello, the sides are 3/4” thick cherry and the top and bottom are 5/16” thick, the inner lip is just under 1/4” thick. Ken
