Some fancy gun cases were linked a few days ago, and it inspired me to kinda get back to chipping away at the one I was hoping to make.
The hard case was gifted to me by my wife. It contained one of those E-collar dog training devices. It's real nice, Clark.
The top half has the egg carton foam in it. The bottom was cut specifically for the training devices, so it got ripped out.
Very little progress, but I did manage to get a piece of free foam cut down to at least fit inside the case. I had to cut all the egg cartony stuff away, then trimmed the thickness even further. Then, I cut the rough shape, and started dialing that in with a razor blade. Just working with what I've got.
The foam.
Fit to the case, shoddily. Had an oops at the near side of the handle, and it left a nice gap.
I intend to throw together a simple fixture/guide to help me cut the thickness in half, again. One half for a bottom, and the other for the pistol and accessory openings.
I'm okay with this, so far, as a first attempt, using what I have around the house.
