Good things come in wood boxes. I made the box both to protect the jig while in storage and to keep all the tooling and parts together. Made using scrap wood and some hardware.

I am 74 years old and know that I will not be around much longer. A priority for me in the shop is to complete several in work gun projects and to bring the shop tooling to some sort of order.

Some poor bloke will be in charge of disposing my assets. It will be a lot easier if all special tooling is complete and stored with the accessories required, hence the box building projects I have started.

It's good to see Google old fashioned handiwork. You are certainly planning ahead but at the same time it's nice to Dave a tidy workshop.
I hope you live a lot longer to enjoy a looong life.
One thing as you get older you worry less about the use by dates on products, you just hope you live long enough to use them.

I have been using a "Personal Property" rider on my State Farm homeowner's policy to cover guns when I travel with them.
I have several firearms, but only one is worth over $20K (A Heym double rifle).
Very interested.
Would firearms be covered for damage, as well as, complete loss?
I'll can let the State Farm rider cover my watches...

trperk1, I bought the Kimber Caprivi 375 back in an earlier post. You attached a target with an impressive three rounds touching 100 yards. I took the 2x10 VX5 off and put a VX6 HD Gen 2 1x6x24 Duplex Firedot on the rifle. It's definitely a shooter curious what loads you used for the group. Loving this rifle so fun to shoot. Africa 2026 Mozambique. Buff and PG. Any info appreciated.
