Something you made . . . .

[ZoidMeister]

I saw a thread like this elsewhere on the interwebz and thought that it might be awesome here.

I know many of you have some pretty amazing skills and ingenuity resulting in some amazing builds, inventions, and creations.

Post them up for the world to admire.

Me, I built this . . . but this thread shouldn't be limited to just firearms. Post up your creations.

I made some of these!

 

[Capn Jack]

My last winter's project. Shoots 5/8" patched glass marbles.
I've assembled a lot of firearms, but, other than, "Zip Guns",
as a kid, this is the first one I can say I built.

And it works !

Made the kid with assistance, assembled the rifle with more assistance.

Made the kid with assistance . . .

Is he a good shot? I'd like to see him shoot my two lefty rifles. It's tough finding another lefty to shoot my rifles. I can shoot them fairly well; I'd like to see what other lefthanders can do with them.

For my Dad, in 8th grade wood shop, I made a chess board out of pine and mahogany for Father's Day. Must have been about 13/14 years old. I'll be 54 this year.

He still has it and still uses it.

Our home has a smallish eat-in area in the kitchen. A standard 42", 40", or even a 36" wide kitchen table is just too big. I looked all over creation to find one the right size but came up empty, so I made my own. This one is 96" long x 30" wide. We already had the bar height chairs, so I made this table higher than standard.

I looked into getting one custom made, but prices started at $1,800 and up. I've got about $250 into this table.

This is the idea I had behind, "Something You Made . . . . . "

He can hit steel at 50 yards, that's about it, doesn't shoot nearly enough, but he enjoys it when he can. Kid is a nerd about recoil, claims his GSG STG44 clone in 22lr has recoil he can feel...yah, right...It could be the fact that everything I own is right handed.

I wish I was a, "Worker of wood". There's got to be more than a little bit of, "Artist" involved.

I'm just a novice, but I do try and improve with each project. The beauty of it is that I "Lose time" when working on a project. It's my Zen garden.

I find metal work to be less forgiving

Just got this home and organized and ready to start building! Lots of fab work ahead, but Fun Fun Fun!

Please make sure I don't tell you about my homebuilt project from 1979. That's all I want to say about it. I was 21 and knew far too little about what I was attempting to do...

 

[Ura-Ki]

Hahaha! This isn't my first rodeo. Actually, I have built 4 and helped with 11 builds, and helped restorations on a few!
This will be the most complicated, but the coolest, and hopefully the last I do for my self! It WILL be epic!
