This gun I built when I was in hard times but had a lathe, mill and materials.

My wife is a computer programer and is learning me to do some of this stuff.

There may be some usable ideas in this article, or you guys may have ideas for me.

I'm always looking for new ideas too.

Cav trooper,

Sorry, she isn't for sale.

I decided that I probably won't be in the position to build another,
so the wife'll just have to PUT UP WITH THIS ONE!

Hot Guns,

Being a machinist, makes me appreciate what these guys do who AREN'T machinists.

The work displayed here and other similar sites is outstanding.

I tend to be very impatient and settle for good enough.

That comes from having my own business for 10 years and making things just good enough to slip thru inspection departments.

You can see it in this gun and other stuff.

Things usually fall in place for me. I usually have, or can make, the tool for the job.

Oh yeah, I let off a couple of AW FUDGE'es now and then.

D.D.

I've been hanging out on the hobby machinist sites for a couple years and been trying to put some stuff out to help those guys out.
