Hi all here is one of my Chrissy presents from my missus.
Look forward to starting it.

 

[Polux]

Nice and different!!!!
I’m in sure....

 

[papa 695]

Yes that is different Ken, and like Polux looking forward to seeing it get built

Coooolll...! Does it fire stuff...?

 

[Deleted member 3568]

Well here's the start

I don't know if it fires stuff but I see no reason why it wouldn't.

Hi all here is the next update. They supply laser cut wood bits for the bow or steel for as they call it expert builders. I've tack glued one of the laser cut bits to the steel as a template for cutting. Here is where I need help the supplied metal is so hard a file won't even scratch it, what I have so far was done with a sanding belt. What would you suggest I drill the holes with I have high speed drill bits but I'm not sure they would drill through this stuff.

 

[papa 695]

Nice start Ken, but as for the drilling question sorry I can't help there.

 

[stillp]

Masonry bits will drill through pretty much anything. Do you have a drill press?

Hi all next update.

 

[Mr Bowcat]

Ken, I'd suggest carbide bits. Pricey, but go through stainless better than anything else I've used.

I like this Ken, something different and very interesting, great work so far mate.

 

[papa 695]

Nice work so far Ken.
