Hand Cut Double Dovetail Pistol Box

Project by ProbablyLost posted 15 days ago 536 views 6 times favorited 19 comments Add to Favorites Watch

I made this Box to hold two pistols, two clips holsters and ammo. It is 15 1/2” x 11 1/2” x 6” and made out of Blood wood, Cherry, Pink Marimba and Maple. The inside tray is made from maple. I hand cut the dovetails and the hinges. It is finished with boiled linseed oil and bee’s wax.

I do believe those are the first hand-cut double dovetails I’ve seen posted here. Very impressive skills!

Great work for a great cause. Every pistol needs a comfy place to call home. Just a thought from an enthusiast. Glock makes a replacement baseplate for the magazines of baby Glocks. It gives a solid place for your pinky finger. Makes a world of difference when I fire my .40 baby Glock. Should be able to find them less than $10.00. I love mine but certainly not a necessity. Great work, Happy Shooting, BTKS

Man, I am really impressed with the hand-cut double dovetails and it’s nice that you pistols have a nice home.

I have tried 2 or 3 of the magazine extensions and I prefer the GLOCK brand +2 OEM extensions…

.40 cal GLOCKS

I bought these and some black colored extensions from a GLOCK shooting match in Columbia, MO. a few years ago. I use the orange extensions for the CCW loads.

Keep up the GREAT work.

later,

Great looking box! Also nice looking Glock and S&W.

I am getting ready to make a box for one of my pistols. I have been thinking about it for about a week now.
Just waiting for inspiration to strike with something special.
