Tiny pistol

i allways end up picking up a bunch of brass off the ground when im out there.

pistol grip prototype done.

and it works! pretty stoked! i like this complicated mechanism but i think im going to make a simple push pull cable system operate the camera too. so there will be two versions available. next step is to make it all look good.

milling on the lathe

well this is the only way iv figured out how to do this so far with the tools i own. the grip needs a channel inside for the trigger linkages and i didnt cast them in so its metal removal time. i chain drilled it and shimmed it up and went to town with a little carbide tool and a drill bit. kept the beard out of the moving parts and had my saftey glasses on so it worked out. had to do a minimum of hand filing also. i guess its make do milling.
