So my friend Brian, aka 12-Pound Richard, whom many of you met at PiP last year (or not), made me a pistol box based on the design of the lovely and talented Mary Diamond’s pistol box.
Here is Brian (in the ticken and military hat) in his natural environment.
Wow! What a nice-looking box!
It isn’t discolored. I just had something on the lens.
Why, it opens, too!
But what’s under the linen?
Gosh! Them’s pistols!
But how do they stay in there so comfortable?
Ingenious! That’s the talented Mary Diamond’s design! She is also lovely.
Dovetails? Who needs dovetails?
This sucker is rabbited and nailed, like smaller boxes of the period. Even the nails are right.
Okay, but what about the hinges?
Oh, sniped hinges! And in brass, too! *ooh* *aah*
And when I travel in the People’s Republic of Illinois, I can lock this sucker so that the Man doesn’t harass me!
That darn Man!
So this is a pretty cool project. It’s winter time, which means that Brian stays inside and makes things out of wood. He’s working on a nice table he might bring to RF6 to show off. Thanks Brian!

Much of it is actually designed to mislead the public. Even today, researchers are getting government grants for such things as "looking for the gene that causes myopia." Researchers often make the mistake of examining the trees and failing to see the forest. It is obvious that if they do find the answer they are supposedly looking for, all the research money will dry up.

You are too kind ~ and imitation is the highest form of flattery. I am glad to see my idea has inspired ~ I must say the same of Brian's work! As I learn more about woodworking, I appreciate the detail and skill he shows in design and construction. Very nicely done!
