Well, there is not much going on in the forum so I will bore you with another ammo chest but this one is a little different.
My customer wanted one of my normal chests but he wanted some custom design work done on top out of metal and painted. He designed the metal work and provided a picture of the colors he wanted in the paint work.
I made the chest and put a 1" X 1/8" band around the lid. This band extends above the top by 1/4".
I had the metal work cut on a PlasmaCam. A piece of 22 gauge metal exactly the size of the lid drops in first. Then the 1/8" black piece with the rocks, cannon and light house drops in on top of the 22 gauge.
After that, a 1/16" thick strip of land drops in giving everything a three dimensional look.
I had the paint work done by an air brush artist.
Then I epoxied all the metal in.
My customer has not seen it yet. He will pick it up week after next.
Here it is.
