They are made up from a standard 7mm kit drill through the firing pin insert and glue the tube in the top half is just the other tube the finial part of a shell with a bit filed out for the clip then a wooden plug to fit inside and into the tube going through the clip look at Pauls tuition all the info you will need mine are just a bit different to his http://www.penturners.co.uk/wood-turned-items/2999-7-62-how-i-did.html

Lovely pens Woody, I need to get some of the casings to have a go.

Tell me again though, with pine cones, you told me they have to soaked in water to make them close them flood them with ca? I presume the ca still bonds if the cones are damp?

Crackers as always Grandad! I hate to go against the grain but I think the military ply takes it.

 

[bassethound]

Love that trio Woody, Lovely work again!

 

[InkyFingers]

Love the pine cone, the way the grainy bit smear at the ends.

In fact they're all good.

It suprises me how good humble plywood can look.

All 3 are great, but that Pine Cone steals the show, I am always amazed how good they look, like some expensive burr

The single blank is the way to go Steve, I make mine from a single now as it looks a lot better without the join.
