Powder Keg:
I've been filing the welds down and contouring the frame. I want the pieces to look like a used bar of soap. All round and smooth. I'm not entirely happy with the way the hammer looks. I haven't decided if I want to cut off the horn and make a new, more elegant looking one. Or try and reshape the one it has? I think it's too far back or something? There is quite a bit of arch ahead of the horn. I'll have to think it over some more....

Powder Keg:
The filing is almost done. It looks like Termites have got to the frame? I was thinking I should have champhered the joint a little more.



No worries. I just filed it out and filled it back in with the TIG.



Here is a bottom view of the hand guard. I have a little more shaping to do. But not much.



I was missing a screw and bought a replacement today. As soon as I get the metal work done, I'll finish up the wood work and I'll have a shooter\o/

Powder Keg:
Thanks Rob!!! I have some pretty cool stuff planned but never have the time. I'm trying to finish some stuff up this winter.

If I can get my projects to cooperate. I found another bug hole. This time in the casting for the trigger guard. Good thing I have a TIG welder:o) I'll get a picture before I plug it up.

Powder Keg:
Well I'm still plugging away at this. I'm even threatening to finish it:o) While shaping the trigger guard area I found another bug hole. This time it was in the casting and not in my welds :D



Here it is plugged up. It was pretty cold in my shop and my welding helmet fogged up right when I struck the arc. so I couldn't see real good. I boogered it on a little thick but I can file it back down pretty easily.



Won't be long now\o/
