How??? I shared some in-process photos of the case that Glen made for a matched set of SAAs here:
Custom Case and Matched Engraved SAA's
Likewise, here are a few of the in-process photos of this case (photo credit Glenn Dean of
Classic Chests and More
):
Glenn sent me some pressure foam to make an imprint of the gun (along with a couple of others that I had him make cases for)...
... from which he made a plaster cast of the gun...
We then decided on the layout in the case...
...and he roughed in the shape...
... we then agreed on an edge and top treatment...
... then he finished the case and lined the interior...
It was a fun project to be a part of and Glenn was great to work with. He is a talented craftsman whose skill added with Phil Quigley's engraving and Keith Brown's stocks made a complete package that I think turned out very nice.
