GREAT WORK! Simply amazing the work you can do with that router! Its truly an inspiration!

[welshchris77[TK]]

Thanks Ian, yeah if you ever need any advice on routing give me a shout, I'm no expert but I'm learning stuff all the time.

Thanks also Andrew, the router if one of the most useful tools in my workshop!

I can see i almost sold my router, but your thread and instruction said otherwise!

Thanks guys I really appreciate the feedback and praise 

[illusionz_09[TK]]

yes, everything came out amazing. Great job...

Thanks David, I'm very pleased with the finished stand and best of all it didn't cost me much, a recycled off-cut of hardwood kitchen worktop and and old single glazed 6m(untoughened) patio door.

Infact I don't think I spent anything on this build, I even had the perspex and silicone left over from another job.

All I put in was time and effort!

 

Taking your time is key with these kind of projects I find!

Have you considered painting the wood to add some color to it? Like a black with white cog?

 i personally like the wood look with this build. But maybe it you create like a granite look then thats another option to do.

Not sure yet, I don't want the cog to be too obvious to detract attention away from the gun, I might put some danish oil on the oak though to bring out the grain and nourish it.

Very nice display case.

You may could paint it in a nice dark gloss black.

I agree. A nice oak finish and shine would look great in contrast. love it
