Hey guyz,
Here is the Arrow head case project that my Dad and I worked on for Christmas presents.
These were the gifts we gave out to all the men in the family who are history hunters at heart.
They were very happy to have them.
Cut from 1/4" (.200) Luan using wood glue to hold everything together. There are no tools needed for this build.
One of my personal favorite parts of this project was that on the final parts (not the foam version) the tabs do not show though the slots. They slots are recessed and not all the way though and the tabs are shorter in length. This gives you a nice finish on the exposed part of the build
The code is for the foam prototype version. You will see 3 different ideas for the cases frames that you can experiment with on your own projects.
Please share pics/files of your builds

They came out real nice!

 

Thanks guyz
Yoram, The arrow heads are real ones we found in FL they seem to be every where around there but are mainly found along side of any water system where they camped out while traveling.
The ground is sandy with a hard pan about 3-4 foot down. So sometimes after a hard rain you can find arrow heads just sitting on the surface! Its really cool to be the first person to touch one of these since the Native American that made it.
One of my Brothers lives right on a lake so we just walk the edge

Wow! That is beautiful work!

 

Thanks Chris, the stain really helps set it off and give it that finished look.

It's funny because I have lived in Florida almost my hole life and have never found an arrow head... go figure. I have found sharks teeth though.

 

I found a lot of sharks teeth myself when I was a kid there. I probably found a lot of arrow heads too but thought they where just rocks
