For some reason your work always makes me think of the game Bioshock.

Is that a good thing?

Its a proper cool game series with awesome artwork, one of my favourite games.

Yup. Marine steampunk feel

Making parts for a welding jig

 

[mrsbruce]

3D printed a Derringer replica to allow me to make a garter holster for a customer. This will be the second garter holster I’ve made.

I’ve still to finish building the replica, and do more tidying and a lick of paint, but it’s in a good enough state to make the holster.

One of the best stories/ antidote is from the 1920's.

Paris and a erotic dancer, when a punter got to "Friendly" and some how a round went off.
You could say he got a face full.

The image we were shown is very graphic.

Safety first.

Got some Aluminium plasma cut this evening then started welding the jigsaw together.

Almost done.

Finished and fitted, was going to paint but not sure if I will bother as it just gets worn off with the swarf anyway.

That welding makes me feel somewhat inadequate...

I am a bit out of practice with Tig as I have mainly been doing Mig on Aluminium for the last while.

Looks like a Burgo derringer I had years ago 38 special?

Sadly, at the moment I do not have a veritable Scooby regarding the details of this gun.

Although I have enough of a working knowledge regarding the other guns I make holsters for, this one is still in the “that is the same shape and size as the one I was shown. Yes that will do me” category.

Yes, I believe it’s a .38, as I remember with the first one, I decided to add a couple of bullet loops. I looked up the bullet size, but thinking it was a one off, I didn’t really absorb much info.

It isn't actually that great if you look closer. As I said a bit out of practice and if you look at the first weld done, arrowed Red in the pic, you will see I was way too hot. (I ground out and redid as can just about be seen in the last pic) Also the weld at the Yellow arrow is slightly too cold but it was good enough so I left.

Tisk your humble rantings and fancy arrows.
Carry on...

I'd be delighted if I could turn out anything remotely resembling either of those.
