The Claymore build...

[Blackhack]

As some of you know, I and my partner are in the process of building a Scottish Mod, "The Claymore"
I intend to keep a diary of the build here....
Today it all came another step further in a long journey.
We both headed from Glasgow to St Andrews to see Andy, our engineer, sometimes called gepetto, because he builds "toys"
in his man cave...(See photos)


To cut a (really) long story short, after six and a half hours on the lathe, we converted a bar of Naval Brass into the prototype of the bottom switch...We now have all the correct measurements to produce the finished product, It's still a bit rough, (needs polishing etc) but we fitted it to a Sigelei telescopic mod and lo and behold it all works, and works well.
A few final modifications and at least that part will be finished....


Next instalment will be the top section with the floating head....

Nice! certainly got my interest, i shall be following this thread with interest!!

EDIT: It is all sounding really good to me, and call me strange but i like to identify with things, so i am interested in the 'naval Brass' & the 'Claymore' name and design, being a Scottish Sailor, my old Naval Air Squadron being 819, and our motif being the Claymore!!!
(As i said, call me strange!)

Sorry if we are teasing we aren't doing it on purpose it is just to let people know what we are doing and that there is something new from the UK and if you are going to hit anyone hit Blackhack
