The time to do it is when she's not looking.
What she doesn't know won't hurt...as long as you remember to wipe off the footprints.

I have a question regarding the foam cutter that you built as well as the link to the site with all of the foam cutter information.
In looking at the design on the link, I didn't see a grounding mechanism. When you designed your foam cutter, did you include a ground? I know that I sound paranoid, but it only takes about 70ma to stop your heart.

Mine is chassis grounded at the transformer, but there really is no need... The transformer is an isolation device itself, plus as long as the cutting wire remains intact, the circuit is closed and there is no chance of shock. I'm pretty sure I could grab both side of the cutting circuit with no worries. I've grabbed doorbell circuits before, and they give you a decent tingle, but I'm still alive 
If you have any questions while building, give me a call.

Picked this case up for $2 at the flea market today—it is "Airway" brand, and very well made. Anyone attempting their first case should consider one like this; it is a perfect rectangle cutout--no rounded corners. It is also the same depth the whole way across--no beveled edges. CF will agree with me, cutting foam for a beveled case can be a PITA!

That's for sure!
Wow, TWO bucks?? Nice find, looks pretty heavy duty, too.

Have I mentioned lately how much I love working with foam…. I'm working on the case for the 357SM, but just can't figure out how to lay it out in the case. Since I'll never have a 4 barrel pack for this, I can lay it out however I want. Probably no buckle/patch in this one–we'll see….

Nice start, I like the layout, the new hogues are nice also. I have a make a pac on my round to it list when I get time. You are my inspiration.

That looks pretty good.
I know what you mean...extra barrels makes it easy to know where to put the stuff, no barrels leaves a guy (me) open to all sorts of goober ideas.

Well, now I just have to wait on the green fabric...
I may have to go down to the fabric store with PP in hand to get my point across 
.... I don't think they understand my needs....
Here is the final layout.

I like the layouts... they're atypical and unique.

Those look good, Shoot.
At first, I was wondering why you left so much room around the barrel & grip area on the stainless gun, but then I realized it was so you could swap barrels & grips without sacrificing room...duh!
Good planning, it'll look great when you're finished.

yea, I'm hoping it looks ok once the fabric is laid. With two completely different barrel/shroud profiles it was the only way to do it--just in case I want to swap barrels, it can go directly back in the case either way.

"Ask an ye shall receive!"... Well it's as close to navy blue as I could get . And yes, I set the combo to "744"

I do like the blue. The SS looks good against it.
