Josh, very nice piece of work. That single six should be honored to reside in that rig.

[Josh Ashman]

Thanks guys!

CR - it'll carry a shinny new Single Six when it gets where it's going. I stuck my beat up old one in it for the pictures

Nice job be proud to put my gun in there , shame it won't fit me I need mine to be about 60 " long . Really I like it I may have to try to make a close copy for myself . The old styles have a certain look ya know. Silverbullet

Just curious. What is your work surface made of and how does it perform?

[Josh Ashman]

Thanks for the kind words everybody! I appreciate them.

Red Cent, are you sure it's not just the Ruger in the rig that you like? I've noticed your a Ruger fan, I am too

OT, that sir is just 3/4" plywood. you can see all sorts of marks in it from years gone by but it's usually covered with cutting boards now. I just moved them out of the way to take the pictures. I framed the bench up with double 2x4's on the front edge and it has posts built out of doubled 2x4's @ 2'-8" OC. I do my tooling on a marble slab that sits directly over a post, cutting and layout are done on the big cheap vinyl cutting boards from Walmart, skiving on a glass cutting board and I have a few of those rubber mats that I use to punch holes into, I put them over the vinyl cutting boards. rivets and the like are set on a 1" steel plate I place over a post. It works OK but it's a real mess as all of that just moves about and gets stacked here and there. I just moved all of the cutting boards over to one side to take the pictures.

Thanks again!
