Shotgun-Gibbs Posted August 11 Share Posted August 11 -Yes, check out Hampel's Woodland Products here: https://www.hampelswoodlandproducts.com/ I have had them make me at least 8-10 things over the years. Beautiful craftmanship at great prices! He's a heck of a nice guy as well! 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I actually came across them on the 'net, but was not sure if they were legit - the prices seem almost unrealistically low; similar cases from other sellers are often listed for hundreds of dollars! Definitely will check 'em out. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am in the middle of making one for myself and I have more than half their price already paid in materials. If I had seen this first I could have saved myself a lot of hot time in the workshop ( but wouldn’t have been as fun. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shotgun-Gibbs Posted August 12 Share Posted August 12 Gentlemen, here are a couple of pictures of Hample's cases I had made. He is very good, and reasonable! 2 photos are of a coffin case he made for my son's 1851 Navy, and 2 photos of my Skeeter Skelton owned Mitchell Arms .45 Colt. I cannot say enough about his work! 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hardpan Curmudgeon SASS #8967 Posted September 21 Author Share Posted September 21 Thank yew, @Shotgun-Gibbs.... Just perfect~!! And you were right - VERY reasonably priced!! I'm pretty sure we'll be ordering more from this fella... This is gonna be a birthday present. Young man just turned 36 ~ what better gift than a .36 caliber Navy cap 'n' ball revolver? (I know... not exactly the correct powder flask, but the traditional types just ain't available like they used to be.) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Forty Rod SASS 3935 Posted September 21 Share Posted September 21 Almost thirty-five years ago I made a box to house my pair of 5 1/2" SAA revolvers. It's beautiful....but I have yet to finish the inside. You may have started my project with some really good ideas on how to do it. Thanks. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Horace Patootie, SASS #35798 Posted September 21 Share Posted September 21 I have one from there also. The only negative thing is that he used a "wood product" on the bottom. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One of my "just for fun" builds: Just because of this: This was a way to have a nice box in the living area for critter control (anything from rabid 'coon up to bear) at my mountain cabin. Most folks should just buy the box from the above link. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
