I fancy a shotgun case...

...but being too skint to afford a Pelican, Americase or SKB, I have decided to make one out of MDF or plywood.
At first I thought I would make one where the gun sits within the foam cut outs but then decided on making a more traditional type of shotgun case.
So let's see what finally materialises.

Vikram,
My dexterity extends to giving orders to my carpenter.
I am pretty sure I could make one...eventually but I rather just have one made and get it over with.

P.S.: Been meaning to make one for some time now but it was a certain e-mail, you, I and few other punters received last night that has finally made me get off my backside....partially.

Especially when it comes to hitting the 'Ban the blighter' button. Would, sir, care to see a demonstration?

Yes, that's my do-nali. I certainly did not get it in that condition. It's a Brno Hard Hitter Deluxe - 12 gauge, sidelock, extractor with full and full chokes and 28.25" long barrels. If you can ferret out any information on this model I would be very grateful.
