Thanks for the kind words! I wish I had, or had access to, a larger lathe....that's slowing the project. I've long been of the opinion when the geniouses dreamed up a gun design, there was a good bit of hand work in making the proto. I read somewhere the young German apprentices had to make a perfect steel cube using files, now that's skill! In our era of instant gratification, I find working with a file most gratifying. Bill

We had to do that in millwright/machinist school. Steel cube and a square ring that the block would push through but not fall through. With a file.
