Dixie has them, the Deer Creek and Classic Arms handgun kits.  Pages 112-113 in the '03 catalog.  I once made the Twisrer and the Ducksfoot kits, years ago when I had no tools.  The Twister was simply assembling the thing, you could polish or finish as you wanted, but it wasn't necessary.  The Ducksfoot required some minor woodwork, nothing that couldn't be done with sandpaper, and wood finishing.  Linseed oil is fine, nothing more fancy than that would fit these pieces.  They both fired fine, but you've got to be very aware of downrange when firing the Ducksfoot, those balls really spread!

They're all less than $100, to boot!
