Finishing the 119th Tontine Cabinet

Post by WmZiggy »

I finally got back from the people who laser cut wood two plaques to mount on the left-hand door. One plaque was a history of the Weapon Systems Officer (WSO)program at the 119th, the other a poem written by one of the members. I decided to mount them with thru corner bolts in brass. However, I needed a fancy head, which I didn't know where you could buy, so I made them.

I drilled a center hole in the eight bolts, then using metal mending epoxy glued a fancy head tack to the top of each bolt with the tack pin glued down in the drilled hole. I used a brass acorn nut to secure the bolts.

This completed the Tontine cabinet in my shop.

I just needed to sign the cabinet. I used my family Scottish crest which has a fitting military feel.

Except for hanging in the club, it was done.

Thanks krusty! And to all the other kind comments, especially the vets, of the previous build posts, thank you. I could not have built this project (as easily) without my Shopsmiths, which is one reason for posting here.
