Well, Im 17 years old, from the UK and Ive always been interested in machining etc. I now have an old but good Colchester Chipmaster lathe and am looking out for a well priced mill.

I mainly make custom airgun parts such as

Some custom valves.




And also a continuing project in modifying my own airguns

Turning this...


Into this briefly..


Then removed the top rail and added a stonger one and changed it to side cocking


And will tun out something like this once I've finished (Grip and fore end need to be installed


Well, thats me  :dremel:

dave_424:
Thanks, Ive been doing it since about 16 but since I got this much larger lathe, I'm now doing some more extreme mods.

I also have this



Kawasaki ZX9 engine, now I need to find / make a frame for it to go in

This would be my dream outcome

Welcome  :wave:
Nice work and the EDGE Barracuda is a beast
I still have plans for the EDGE sidewinder plus and the 6X6 but never built one.
I never had the money to build one and space to use it  :(

dave_424:
Precicely why I haven't bought the plans, I don't have bucket loads of money and want to do it in the shortest time possible :)

Plus, loads of stuff has to be water jet cut and I just don't have the contacts/money, I have a tip off that a mate of mine has an autograss frame but I need to sell one of my custom guns to fund it.
