Anewbie from australia
« on: May 01, 2012, 10:01:07 PM »
Hi folks,  stumbled across this site while looking for information on the Bonelle TCG.  I'm a retired toolmaker,  been in the industry for 45 years. Have been retired the past 3 years.  During this time I have made quite a few projects in the shed.
Here a couple of them.

Hi Pete thanks for the welcome.
The pistol is not a replica.  I made the chamber. The original was lost.  Had to do  bit of research to get to the finished product.

Hi Toolie  :wave:

Nice job on the chamber. I'd be interested to know how you did the ratchet affair (don't know it's proper name). I can see how you might make the grooves with the job offset and a ball-ended tool, but how did you manage the square ends to the grooves?

I've cut the end off it twice, but it's still too short
