Can anyone turn me a 4.21mm bullet?

[ScottM]

Here is a piece (I used this word for a reason) ;-) I just finished for a co-worker. It is a Chirstmas gift for his brother in-law who would "hunt 24 x 7 if he could". The stock is cut from 3/4 red oak. The barrell is a piece of 1/2 polar dowel. The over-all length is @ 28". It is finished with Miniwax sanding sealer and two coats of spray on Deft.

I liked the way it turned out so much I think I might just make a second one from spalted maple for me.

:eusa_clap i like it a lot!:-D

4.21 is an odd size. Any reason you need that particular measurement?

I'd be happy to donate to that project. Let me know exactly what you need.

Thanks Mike for the offer. I really appreciate the kind offer. It is just my "sick" sense of humor. I figured I would have more views asking for a bullet then just "Look what I did".

Scott, when you did what you did, you should have no problems getting folks to admire your work. That's awesome!!! I have never seen scroll work done in that configuration, it's very creative, and I am sure it will go over very well with your co-worker's BIL.
BTW, I like creative thread titles...keep it up along with your creative scrollsaw work :eusa_clap:eusa_clap:eusa_clap

Outstanding work Scott :icon_thum:eusa_clap:eusa_clap:icon_thum I love the way everything looks like it is in 3-D! I have a scroll saw that hardly ever use but you've just inspired me ;-)

Such an item would find a buyer! Great detail and fine effort.

that's really nice. just a couple of questions if you don't mind. what type of blade do you use? how do you get the insides of the cuts the dark brown, i don't think it's blade burn. i hope the receipiant appreciates it.

Looks great Scott.The scrollsawing thing is not for me though I bareley squeeked by coloring in the lines in kindergarden:lol:. Those of you who are good at scroll work turn out some nice looking pieces.

An amazing piece of work! I have no "arty" side at all, that's why I discovered 3D CAD!:lol::lol:

Kurt, thank you and everyone else for all the kind words. I used a #3 and #5 Flying Dutchman reverse tool balde. As for the color on the inside cuts it is plain old end grain. I am not that creative. The dark brown coloring is just the shadows.

 

[DaveT]

Awesome work Scott. I took a scroll saw class a couple of months ago and have tinkered around with the saw some since. You've inspired me to give it another go.

 

[scrollski]

You have done well grasshopper. ;-)
