    Default cutting foam

    I got one of these for fathers day: https://www.sigsauer.com/store/sig-c...es-cherry.html

    I'm looking for someone who can cut out the foam for me. The more I read about it the more I want a professional job on this. Does anyone here do this? Point me in the right direction perhaps? Thanks in advance.

    The shelf was a gift so I didn't pick where it came from. I got a foam cutter from harbor freight actually. It's this hot knife thing, doesn't seem fine enough to make the cuts I want. I really want this to come out perfect and just don't think I can do it myself as well as I'd want.

    I'll text you pics of a home job in a bit. I made a hot wire table and did mine. I do not believe it will pass your OCD.

    I've got a D.C. Power supply or two, all you need is some Ni-chrome wire and rig up a cutting jig...... Just a though. You tube cutting foam.
    My T.P. wheeling and dealing feedback is here.

    Opinions are like assholes, everybody has one, and it stinks more than mine.

    I've looked up a bunch, seen how to make the cutter and many videos. I know my skill level with this type of thing and I don't think I can do as good a job as I want for this. This is one of those times where I want as perfect a job as I can get.

    This is exactly what I'm looking for, than you.


    Thanks for all the pointers I think I've found the answer in Atlas Case Co. I'll post pics once the project is finished.

    +1 I'd pay for a service like this if someone was really good/professional at it, and offered a reasonable (not cheap) price. I'm sure I could build the rig myself and try it out, but that's just one more pile of stuff to add to all the stuff I already have, and I have too many hobbies and not enough time as it is.

    Looking forward to hearing about how your experience with Atlas goes.

    I took my foam and firearms into Atlas today. The sales guy was really cool and wanted to make sure I got exactly what I wanted. He traced out what I wanted and said the job will be done by the end of the week. I'll post once I have results but so far I'm liking their service.

    So you brought your guns, etc. there and he traced it out for you? Hm that's a nice surprise.
