Coffin Pistol Case
 

I've been working on a coffin shaped pistol case. Here's the prototype so far.

looks good so far......

Dave,
Hello, I see you took my suggestion to make the Coffin Pistol Case...........


Clyde

You betcha, just had to get caught up on all those little coffins.

Of course, the real ones won't be made from plywood.

You gonna buy the first one? :)

I know the Plywood One is your Test Platform........

Clyde

Yep, plywood for the test.

I want to see what all is involved, what order to make the parts, how much work is involved, how things fit, what can I do better, what jigs/fixtures will I have to make, what do I need to adjust or change from my design, how much will I have to charge, etc.

It's quite a lot of work.

I think this is gonna be a nice piece, I just hope folks like it and want to buy one. :) I'd love to see em in use.

I really enjoyed seeing the photos people posted with their pistols on the little coffin stands.

OK, photos of the second prototype, made from oak is available for viewing on my web site.

I don't have photos of the interior as I don't have the interior finished but it will be padded and probably lined with red velvet. This will be the basic design however It may change just a bit as I perfect my construction technique or improve the design.

Right now I'm just check for interest as I have to buy a couple of tools if I'm going to make more than just the prototype.

Let me know what you think. I would also like to know your opinion about the price; If we aren't even close I may not be able to produce this item.

Also, due to the complexity and amount of work required and depending on the number of orders I receive I can't guarantee a delivery time. Basically I'll begin yours when I receive payment and I'll get it to you ASAP, but you'll get it when it's complete.

I can't wait to see a finished one! I don't want to buy the first one that is the most expensive one.LOL

Dave, it looks fantastic!!:)

Don't forget that Clyde wanted the first one. Make sure that he gets it from you!!!:D

We Im not into coffins... but sure do want to see the first finished one!:)

Well, looks like oak is going to be a problem.

I made the second one from wood I had on hand. Went to Lowe's to buy more wood and they don't have everything I need, plus, an oak one is gonna be really expensive. What with material costs and my time/labor I'm looking at more than $200.

So, I purchased some nice pine. Still not gonna be cheap. I'll let y'all know when I figure the material costs but I think we're still looking at around $175. And, I think there is going to be a minor design change.

Probably not gonna sell too many of em. :)

We'll have to see what kind of interest there is once the first one is complete.

Yep, Clyde gets first shot at the first complete one.

I placed another photo of the coffin pistol case on my web site.

The exterior is complete. All I have to do is install the interior and the hinge and it will be done.

How does it look?

Hi Dave

Do you have an idea of the size (s)?

Might be a nice resting place for one of my Cowboy guns funny

Allchin (makes c-more custom mounts) has a great saying
"SHOOT FAST OR GO HOME"

It's finished.

Tell me what you think.

Well, I thought it was finished. It is now unless I can find some small handles.

Hi Dave
I think it looks cool....I would use one for Cowboy shoot'n guns
How Much?

Just have to get 6 very, very, very small handles for it, so it can be carried funny

But I am interested in it...Nice job!

It looks fantastic Dave!!!:):)

I'll send you a price when I have the next one complete

and you'll need 6 very, very, very small munchkins

Just got in with my nightly DD and they ave a bunch ready to go..."munchkins" that is grouphugfunnyfunny
