Well, you guys were right... this new
woodworking hobby simply costs more and more $$$! Today, I
purchased the Craftsman Router and Router Table I've been looking
at... err.. drooling over for days now...
Never-the-less, I will make good use of it for second wood working
project -- the proto-type gun display case. I'm created the prototype
out of particle board for my garage BB Guns and plan to craft the final
product for my antique Kentucky Rifle & Pistol in solid Red Oak.
Below is the simple (but VERY accurate) jig I created
for crafting the very strong ¼-inch box joints on the new table
saw...
And, here is how the finger joints came out [on
the proto type] after sawing -- very tight, strong and
attractive (and I expect even better results on the firmer oak
wood planned for the final product)...
Here is a top-view of the prototype layout [for
my BB Guns] -- dry fitted (without glass, hinges and locking
hasps) -- but, you get the idea of how this might look with the
antique Kentucky Rifle & Pistol in Red Oak wood, with glass
[actually, thick acrylic for security] , stain/oil and brass
hardware. [including locks for additional security]..
