Nah yer ok, will mess around a bit to make sure it is going to come out ok before any money exchanges hands
The only thing I see that may be a problem is the paws are a bit out of focus so not sure how well I can get them showing, will see when I get a chance.

A favorite saying of one old turner, “we make living people! and this [detail] is pure nonsense, but you’ll have to work a little hard”
Caliper for marking, made "from nothing"
A mediocre Chinese caliper, once purchased at a grocery store at the checkout counter, was “sold by weight.” Circular saw for metal, with broken teeth. The carbide soldering size is 1.7*5*2.4 mm.

Used the new die but the thread ripped out while backing off in the middle right where its most needed. Does not help that the steel nut was drilled oversize too, so should remake both. Die is not blunt it still cuts well. I cut it by hand in lathe but did back it off under power

First proper use of the new saw
The sawdust generator does indeed make lots of sawdust
Suprised and happy this large lump of birch is not too rotten yet. I thought I should do something with it while I can... Got a few peices off it.
The Vevor mill bracketry has some major annoyances and will be modified before next use!
Chain needs a sharpen, with mill it wants to make powder but free hand still makes chips.
I may need a longer bar.

Can you tell what it is yet?
Was a bit over ambitious with the slitting saw and needed changing half way through to something a bit more substantial.
Threading the ally 14 x 1 just isn't going to work but I need the fine pitch, I will end up using steel but for a prototype these will be fine.

I welded the platform alone. height 3 m, platform 5.3*4.8 m. Pipe 80*80, 80*40, 40*40. Anchor bolts in concrete, footrests.. The project, metal cutting, climbing to heights - everything was done by himself. I'm waiting for a step to finish the staircase.
An indiscreet question: how much would such work cost in Britain?

The work wouldnt be that expensive, but the engineered design and calculations to over engineer it and indemnify its safe would be loads…

Just got to drill the mount holes and shape around them for this wire guide
Hopefully given it enough plug weld to still hold after drilling.

On the money. have a couple of them, no idea why. Very handy when you need one though, I will get a proper pic. Meanwhile, the project itself:
It is the beginnings of a new product, maybe, possibly, I hope. Making a few prototypes to see what the machining issues are, I think the bottom bit that grips the bullet head is going to be a wire EDM job, a slitting saw is just going to be too much.
Today's project will be to make the conical extractor part to get the cartridge and wind it off the bullet.
