Then, started thinking about a project that's been bugging me. I want some wire racks to display handguns during club shoots, so that novices can try several without digging through bags, and Brownells sells them, but that incurs shipping costs, and they seem fairly simple. Besides, homemade is better than factory-bought. And I did have some 4-gauge copper left over from another project (building the shop).
Belle comes out to the shop with a Friday afternoon cocktail. "What are you doing?"
"Making revolver stands."
"Why?"
I take a long pull on a very well constructed vodka and tonic. "Why not?"
That ain't half bad, ad if soft copper wire hurts a barrel, then we have no business shooting jacketed bullets through it.
Those look good. I think using copper instead of coated steel was a great idea to keep simple and reduce damage to the guns.
ReplyDeleteOf course that 'assumes' one has spare heavy gauge copper wire lying around...LOL But it IS a great idea! :-)
ReplyDeleteWhat, you DON'T have it laying around? What kind of man are you?!? ;-)
ReplyDeleteA little "tool dip" can coat the ends etc.
ReplyDeleteI'm thinking stapling about four to a 1 x whatever pine board would add to the stability. Of course put poly on the board first.
