Lockdown project


Recommended Posts

Well just finished fitting out an old box I picked up years ago from scratch. It’s for one of the percussion guns and just needs the screws in the hinge sorting properly.  A few things I would do differently on the next one and I have several cases just waiting for attention so there will be plenty of practice with Nicola keeping us in detention. And before you all kick off I agree “Stay at Home”.

Looks great...quick question..

I'm looking to get some drawers put in back of truck to hold some guns and I like the look of this material.

Hi no problem with the questions. I use wool felt or baize and got this from a haberdashers. I am pretty sure you can also buy it by the metre from Dunelm. If you can get a sheet that has come off a pool or snooker table it is ready aged. I have a roll of that too.

Traditionally it is glued down with pearl glue but I cheat. I water down waterproof PVA adhesive so it can be brushed on to the wood. I the flatten the felt on with a cold iron and clamp between two pieces of timber until dry. Might be more difficult in large drawers but shouldn’t be impossible. There is a bit of a knack to getting corners and returns right and I am learning that as I go along. I cut with steel rule and scalpel.

Hope this helps and good luck
