: Wood Work on 1377

Don't know if woodwork goes in this forum.  Here are some custom grips and a pumper I made for my Dad's old Crosman 130 after MAc1 did some excellent work on the inards. I reworked the bluing and touched up and replaced some nasty screws as well.

Wood work sure does Jones. Nice handy work there on your 1377. Glad you made a post here in the Shop. There are some very talented people on the GTA who are very good with wook..

Yuppems, wood, sheet metal, and machining, whatever you might do in your shop we discuss here.  I like those early variant 1377's, I made a 1322 a couple months ago, but it was completely from new store bought stuff...and wood.  Here's the one that used to be mine:

I also have a Walnut 2260 thumbhole stock in the making out in the garage, it should be done by the end of the week...end:)  Will post some pics when I finish.  There's also some pics of a "2360" I built my wife for Christmas in my album.  I like making wood stuff for these things, I actually enjoy that as much as shooting them.  It's great relaxation holding a chunk of wood, a dremel, some files and sandpaper and just imagining what you can come up with.  I only get that same feeling from one other thing, a nice hardy chunk of sheet metal.  Enjoy this "Gate", it's just starting out, but I'm thinking it's going to be a ton of fun!  Keep it up, it looks great.
