This was a fun project! I made this one for a very good friend in central CA. We worked on some of it together. I made the
patterns for the butt plate and trigger guard, and we went to the local college art studio where we sand cast them in brass.
I have since acquired the necessary items to do some brass casting. All I need now is time. All the rest of the parts were
handmade by me except the barrel and lock. I have no desire to hand make a lock. Well not entirely; I have a screw barrel
boxlock pistol in mind.
