    He will be missed by many, but Doug has gone to a better place. My thoughts and prayers go out to his family in this difficult time.

    My new toy(s)

    I love a nice o/u. As a kid, I hunted with my Dad's Savage o/u, and have many fond memories. I've always wanted to get a fancy one, but haven't gotten around to it yet. That Baretta is a beauty for sure. Enjoy!

    How to build an 1/8" thick clear finish

    I believe the stuff you are thinking about used to encase coins and other items is lucite. It's also used for sales tombstones. No idea if it is appropriate for this application, but you can do some searches on lucite to learn more.

You have to use a separate feature(profile/pocket) and a separate layer in your CAD with a different contour on each layer to pull it off. If you're not having a problem with...
