[FredP]

started these 3 years ago for christmas.:gar-La; done in time for this christmas!:gar-Bi there are 5 of them but one seems to be hiding in this lousy picture.

the wood pocket knife is one of 2 done this morning.:eusa_danc sorry for the pics butt..........

Very nice Fred, so amongst your other talents you are a gunsmith and knifemaker :gar-La; It is encouraging to see that I am not the only "Christmas project procrastinator" :wsmile:

ak-choo-ly I'm a macy's kinda guy with a wal-mart budget and a scrooge attitude!:rotflm:

Wow, a bunch of Lugers! They look awesome! I used to have toy one as a kid, but it was metal. Looked way too realistic, would be confiscated these days. You could put a roll of gunpowder-on-paper in it, and it would make a decent bang.

these loogers were fashioned after thr real deal. the prototype even has a mag release and a safety!:wink_smil I have the real one locked away that grand dad brought home from the war. It's an interesting piece of history. these are just for fun!:gar-La; cant wait to see 5 kids all locked and loaded preparing for battle.:rotflm:

On this side of the pond they call them caps.

Thanks Scott! My vocabulary is still missing quite a few words. Some things you have to learn as a kid because they never seem to come up later in life.

Fred, great job - I see the other one lurking there in the back - what kind of woods did you use on them

 

[rcflyer23]

Those are very cool. I can see that as a project for my son in a few years.

 

[TracyP]

Very nice! Good job Fred

 

[Trent Mason]

Those are awesome Fred! Couldn't even imagine trying to make a gun or a knife out of wood. :nah: Glad you got them all done, but what are you making to make up for the last two years? :rotflm:

 

[Dragon]

Very nice work. I recognized the Luger profile right off. Bet somebody is gonna have some fun shootin' those.:thumbs_up

 

[FredP]

thanks all. The wood is whatever I could scounge up.:icon_thum some walnut, oak, pecan and....:gar-La; and Trent.... I dont do retro man.....:rotflm: these were fun but I got bored with them after I completed one and cut out 5 more. They have been patiently waitin for me to get back to em:eusa_danc.

Fred, in my shop we don't say bored or burned out. We "work in stages and wait for the wood to completely season..." can't risk rushing and winding up with cracks and such~ One day I might post my version of the old Cass train I made from one I worked on for a friend.

Nicely done. I know quite a few "older kids" that would appreciate one of those. (older as in my age bracket... lol)

I've got a wee one in the wings (nieces son) that will be ready for such come next Christmas or so. Maybe if I get started soon the wood will be "seasoned" by then:gar-Bi
