Title: Just In Case.....

I'm almost finished fashioning a presentation case for a recently purchased Uberti Model 1849, and obtained some accoutrements for it.

EVERYONE HAS A HIDDEN TALENT THEY DIDN"T KNOW ABOUT UNTIL TEQUILA...

So, Petah, you been drinking your tequila lately?   :bigsmile:

Just kidding, of course.  That looks like a really fine job.  I like it.  Did anything in the process give you any trouble?

Did anything in the process give you any trouble?

I had three issues that arose:

1) I ran out of tequila   :bigsmile:

2) I had to find a straightedge rule that was small enough to lay out all the lines & angles on the unfinished case floor for the partitions

3) I ran out of tequila (again)   :Doh!
