Pendulum Hausse
« on: October 09, 2005, 02:38:55 AM »
Some time ago a friend asked me if I could make a Pendulum Hausse for his gun.

I started this project a couple weeks ago with tracer mill templates shown with the castings in the foundry thread.

Here are a couple of the small parts.



The weight requires a fixture for the arbor press to form the sides.



The fixture requires a press die, a socket and a ring to hold the blanks flat while the metal sheet is formed.



Here is a test bulb silver soldered togather.

The scale will be fixtured in the bulb, and the tulb filled with lead when I get that far.

Could you post a few pix on the press die?  I'd love to see the details!

Another cool project!
