Bushes for a couple so my spotting scope fits on a horizontal pole at 90degrees to the upright pole & an adjustable foresight for my Anschutz so i can do 100 to 500yds without taking the sights off & fitting more blocks.
Quality control of Scottish Ethanol. & RDX/HMX
& my fav chemical is :-) 1,3,7-trimethylxanthine.......... used to kill frogs.... but widely consumed & in vast quantities by the French? Eh?

I now have orders for 18 pens I'm definitely going to stop showing them to other people. Its madness.Alpha1 wrote:To busy for anything shooting related at the moment to busy making pens I have a back order of eight. I'm going to have to stop showing them to people I can not keep up.
Re: What are you making at the moment?
I spent today converting some of the contents of Ovenpaas scrap bin which were originally going to be bore guides but for whatever reason ended up in his scrap bin into bushings. Very shiny bushings. I have marked up several other pieces for converting into other stuff. I have made a few bob out of his cast offs can not be bad.
The pens have had to go on hold I can not cope with demand. I need to concentrate on my day job.

Re: What are you making at the moment?
Last Christmas I got asked to make a supersized dummy rifle cartridge for my postman, who is a deer stalker, as an Xmas gift for his landowner.
It turned out so well I didn't want to give it to him, so I made one for myself too
Then I inevitably got asked to make another..........I have made five so far (but sorry, no more, before anyone asks........
)
They are 1" brass barstock and 5/8" copper, based loosely on .50 BMG dimensions, scaled up by 125%.
.308 case at the top for comparison

No, I turned a dummy fired primer in the base (head?!), but engraving that was beyond me!

:) Looks as if they might be dangerous David, I think you'll soon need a licence for those. Good job.
