Hi all its a bit since I made a pen and have only been on here fleetingly lately. My niece got married on Sun so I knocked up a platinum sierra with a presentation box as a keepsake. Box was my first and not the greatest but I now know the mistakes and how to put them right for the next time.
As is the norm with me the photos are crappy.

I've tweaked you piccie a wee bit Peter - hope you don't mind.

Nice looking wedding gift. I'm sure your niece was very pleased.

You may not be 100% happy with the box but for a first it looks good. Knowing what the mistakes are and learning from them will help for future builds.

For a gift to family when it is made by you then it becomes a keep sake for them. This one for your niece is a ripper and a one off for her. The tweaker pic opens up the detail.

Peter.
