.Nice Les. Are you making the threaded cap/ring or is it a store bought accessory? Good creativity! Well done......Jan
 
Les, you are amazing me every time with your innovation and quality in everything you do I venture to say you are in my estimation the most prolific maker of these items on this site from a home base in the IAP, for some years I have run out of superlatives to describe how I receive your next offering and inventive magic. I also doubt there are more cosistant photographs ever of the items you make they are done I know simply with great repeatability from the onset of your membership.


I wonder how many of us even know about you skill making working wooden locks or your infinite skill on the scroll saw, your workshop cleanliness ,treatment of machinery, your incredible skills in casting with examples of your own tied flies encase on white with completely clear cast over tied fly with trace and swivel.

If I have a regret it is not using a colour printer and printing your offerings on this and other forums as innovator and perfectionist.

This post attracted a like from Capt Garry another man I have huge admiration for his humanity and abilities so freely shared with us I count you both as good friends and you make me proud to know you.

Kind regards Peter.

Great idea Les. I gotta ask though, where did you find 50 cal. bullets that have been fired in that kind of shape?

These once fired 50 cals are 60-70 years old.
In the late 1940's there was a military winter firing and bombing range on a lake not far from where I live.
I know a couple of guys that when they were kids on the farm near the lake, they would wait until the snow melted but the ice was still safe and they would go with their pickup and grain shovels and shovel pickup truck loads up 50 cal bullets and brass casings. They still have lots of 45 gallon drums full of brass and bullets.
So I have a great source for 50 cal brass and bullets that I can clean up and use.

Les
