Show Off Your Non-Cowboy Stuff Here

Chuck 100, that is a sweet set up you wouldn't be interested in selling a set of plans would you? The grips turned out great.

[Marshal Will Wingam]

Chuck, that's a fine design. There have been times I could have used it. Great work.

Camano Ridge , I made it out of mostly stuff out of my scrap box. Not a whole lot to it.
The trim router is from Harbor freight and held to the carriage by muffler clamps. The pillow block bearings and shaft supports
came from Amazon on line. The shafting is just 3/4" drill rod.and the rest is pretty self explanatory.
Here is a picture from a little different angle.

The bar (white) in the back just adds a little stiffness to the cross bar and is a place to mount the wheel that carries the other end of the cross shaft. The base is 3/4" plywood and 16" square.
One thing you cant see in the picture is the way the pattern and work piece are mounted to the upper board. I drilled 1/2" holes in the board( deturmined by the distance between centers of follower and cutter) in the board and epoxied aluminum pieces in so I could drill and tap holes to mount the pattern and work piece of wood to.
There are also 1/8" dowel pins that keep those pieces from rotating when in use.
Make up a plexiglass template to use when laying out your wood to show grain layout and also hold drilling locations.
Here is a pair of grips I whittled out by  hand.


By all means make yourself one and if I can be of any help. PM me.
Have fun!!

I wanna set with the knotholes in "em" That's one cool machine!

[Camano Ridge]

Chuck, thank you very much. You are a Scholar and a gentleman. I was wondering what was supporting the right side could not see the wheel in the first picture. I also have most of the items in my shop including the harbor freight trim router just need to get some pillow blocks and i should be off and running. Thanks again.

Nice look, BB. That does work with those boots. Good design.

A belt I am making for myself, inspired by Will Ghormley.  It did not work out as planned and will post later pics after the belt has dried.

These are pre-vinegaroon pics...  On a 1 1/2" wild belt.

The design looks good...

Very nice belt, Slickshot. It'll look even better in black. Thanks for the pics.

[Cliff Fendley]

Great work Randy.

[Slickshot]

Here's how my belt turned out...  Ended up all black... was really looking for some light brown/dark brown areas where I'd waxed and burnished the edges...  Not enough wax or something.


Nice looking belt anyway...

Here are more pictures.

Black looks good. Very nice work. Thanks for the finished pics.

That is a very fine tool, would love to build one of those. I can see many uses for the setup. Besides needing some grips for the Ruger 44 BH. Of course I would need a set of grips to copy as mine has some rubber grips at present. Hmmm.

Most proud of my new colt.. his name is Pistol. Thought so much of him I traded my new Taurus pistol for him. Oh well the pistol wasn't like one that I really wanted and that was a S&W .357.. can always pick up a new handgun but this colt is one of a kind. He's a blonde paint palomino. His sire. Bo, is a black quarterhorse.

[GunClick Rick]

NICE!!!

[KidTerico]

Chuck 100 yd OUTSTANDING, JUST PLAIN OUTSTANDING    KT 

[Marshal Will Wingam]

That's a beautiful colt. Congratulations. It looks like a good trade.

[mrsbraintan]
