Some real craftsmanship here......

That was bloody amazing. The fit and finish is stunning

@Revs1972 Just saw this on STW and now I know why!

Me too, had to share it on here, where it would be more appreciated

Quite!

I've got a different moniker there, not that I frequent it much these days! Have all the magazines since '2004 though...

I have a look in from time to time. Probably a bit more than I should.
However, find the people on this forum to be much more friendly shall we say

Very nice, the locking mech must of taken a while to work out

 

[Parm]

I’m lost for words

 

[Seadog]

That is absolutely amazing. I thought he was making an action for a flintlock, to begin with.

 

[arther dailey]

I was going to put "like" but thats an understatement, absolutely brilliant ,design/workman ship everything, so how would you value that. ? words really dont do it justice .

 

[JLP]

WOW

That locking mechanism literally left me open mouthed at both the complexity, beauty and the workmanship of it

 

[Wightsparks]

That is amazing. Is there a full screen version somewhere?

EDIT - Seems to be an issue with the site tags

arrg keeps putting it in media tags

Sorted it

Beautiful, fine workmanship and for someone like me who finds sharpening a drill first a chore unbelievable resolve and patience

 

[Spark plug]

Wow, that is a real work of art and a fantastic pice of engineering.

What strikes me the most was that at first glance, in the age of machines we live in, you would assume that the parts where made useing laser cutters, water jet, wire EDM, milling machines and the like. When infact they where made with a hammer and a file, not to mention a very skilled hand.

men with this level of skill are becoming very hard to find now a days due to the machinery taking over

 

[Screwdriver]

Amazing.

 

[Morrisman]

Amazing craftsmanship, and probably six months work or more.

And probably all for a toy for some rich person, unless it is just personal satisfaction. I bet it would/could sell for tens of thousands in the right circles.



Makes me want to go back into the garage and make something.
