Some of you may remember a while back I was asking for any old throw-away revolver cylinders for a project, and I've finally finished one.
Here's the NRA item that I'm copying the idea from;
I got an old black powder cylinder from someone on here, and here's the project from beginning to end;
Raw materials;
Stained the wood, and got screws to fit the cylinder;
Another coat of stain, and found screw to fit my old 50 cal keychain;
Used wife's craft varnish;
Drilled the holes and put felt feet on;
Installed cylinder and shell with screws and Lok-Tite;
Glued ARFCOM coin down, project complete;
Some parts for another one;
I'm actually pleased with how it turned out, which is somewhat rare for my projects.
I'm trying to figure what else to adorn the second one with, but I may just leave an empty spot for a future ARFCOM coin. (I'm assuming we'll do it again sometime).
EDIT--BTW, if anyone has any cylinders they don't want, I'd still like more to make these. It's fun.
