Our prospective Eagle Scout has now finished his service project....finally!! With 2 weeks to spare before his 18th birthday!! (This is the deadline for reaching the rank of Eagle) Now he has to turn in his project documentation for review and submit to a final "Board of Review".


I wanted to show the detail a little so you could get an idea of how much work went into the trophy case. No molding was purchased - everything started out as 2X4's !!
They used a router to shape half-rounds for the trim. Very "thrifty" if I might be so bold to quote one of the 12 oaths!








The band had a stack of trophies that wouldn't fit in their original trophy case (you can see it to the right of this photo)



I haven't seen his final paperwork, but the boys (and leaders) put a couple of hundered hours in the construction. We're happy it's finished and out of the way!!

Good job Robert!
