Ain't exactly a pen but has wood

[Rolland]

I built this a few years ago, took about two years in between other things. The carriage is built from an American Black walnut tree, a friend sent me pieces of a walnut tree that had been in his fathers yard in Virginia, and dried for a number of years. Wheels are white oak stained to match the walnut. Its .22 and yes it does shoot.

That's awesome you did a great job.Did you make the shooting mechanism too?

 

[Grizz]

That is very cool! Great work.

Yes I built the complete gun

 

[Papo]

Wow..... That is way to cool

 

[Dustygoose]

WOW. I want one of those

What is the size of it? Looks to be 1/4 scale? Is that 22 sigle shot? Nice work, I would have donated some wlanut so the wheels would all be the same. Nice

Great Job on that I would not mind seeing more details on the construction myself.

 

[bobjackson]

Wow! Nice work. What a piece.

I was planing on building one of these myself! Which plans did you use and how long did it take to complete? I had a Grizzly G4003G Gunsmith lathe delivered Monday but it had been dropped en route from Grizzly and severely damaged. They are picking it up tomorrow and shipping me a replacement.

That is some fantastic work that you have done there. Is that a Gerstner
tool box in the background? Man I'm envious.

 

[Russell Eaton]

That is just too cool. I am only 50 years away from being able to make something like that. Thanks for showing.

 

[RichB]

What a OUTSTANDING project. I can see it might take a little longer than a pen!!! Thanks for showing it so we can all admire it.

 

[alphageek]

Wow!!! I know we tend to say "no pics didn't happen".... but in this case the pics prove it, but man would I love to see a video of it running!!

 

[Jim15]

That's great, awesome work.

Exceptional workmanship.

Were you able to outgun the one that fired into your gunsafe? I note only three bullet holes and must assume you won.

That kinda reminds me of the day I was reloading my UZI and two south of the border types walked into my basement ... uninvited.

 

[crabcreekind]

you should take it to the range and post some pics

 

[Rangertrek]

Awesome work, just can't imagine how many hours you have in construction on that one.:biggrin:

 

[cnirenberg]

Wow. I really like the gun. Thanks for posting this. Now I have to finish the cannon.

 

[BKelley]

My Friend, that is fabulous !! It really leaves me awestricken. I know you must be extremely proud of it. Do you do other miniatures?

That was the last of the scale models, I previously did 1/2 scale 1917, 1919, and M2 heavy Browning machine guns in .22. I have now graduated to making pens. Making pens is much more relaxing........well most of the time. :mad-tongue:

 

[Woodnknots]

That is completely Bad A$$. No other way to describe it!!
