Making A Steam Punk Gun Part 3 Sneak Peek

 Almost completed project that took about three days, all is left is to glue the barrel and to paint it up more..

The other steampunk rifle is going to take a little longer, working on both projects at once is a little time consuming going from one to another...

Making A Steam Punk Gun Part 2

Midway making another steampunk gun, primed with primer paint and some rub and buff on.

Looks good so far...

I also used 1/2 inch copper tube and some extra parts for the barrel.

Another nice project coming along the way...

More to come..

Making A SteamPunk Gun Part One

A good start for another steampunk gun made from a small squirt gun, just need to prime paint and use some rub and buff.

I would like to acknowledge Target for carrying the Water Warriors squirt gun by Buzz Bee Toys

More to come..

Making A Steam Punk Rifle Day Three

Instead of using the fiberglass cloth, I had some speaker cover cloth cut into 2" - 3" strips and soaked it in the fiberglass resin and wrap around the copper tubes and the front part of the stock.

All is left is to use primer paint and get some gold rub and buff, redo the but plate, adding another switch to solder, and glue the electronics in to finish this cool and exciting project.

Making A Steam Punk Rifle Day Two

Today was a good day to find two glass shaped diamonds to glue to the end of the copper pieces with a cut out circle traced from one end piece with a fine tip marker onto a sheet plastic styrene (040" Thick 1.0mm) with a hole in the center of it for the lights. I used the water clear epoxy 330 to glue the glass diamonds to the end.

Had to buy some wire one spool of red and one spool of black to run and thread the wire threw the copper tubing, and used E-600 to glue some Velcro strips to the battery pack and to the side of the shotgun stock.

Before soldering the wires together test the connection to make sure that the lights blink then solder.
I didn't have a chance to mix up the fiberglass resin to wrap around one end of the tube and stock

Making A Steam Punk Rifle Day One

Supplies two (inch and 1/4 diameter) copper pipes (or PVC pipes), cut both 1 foot 14 and a half inches, pipe cutter or a hacksaw, two copper end pieces, working trigger guard, shotgun stock, JB weld or good epoxy, two crystals or clear glass spheres, fiberglass repair kit, and a rubber band or a plastic stretch wrist band.


Step one: Place band around both copper tubes and place band around the stock.
Step two: Glue or epoxy one tube to the right or left side of the stock be sure that both tubes are exactly even with one another, the epoxy will take a day or so to dry and set up, so have lots of patience.

These were a few things laying around the house and looked fun to make within a reasonable cost.

More to come as it comes along, this my fist project in awhile...

Stay tuned for more....
It can be interesting how a creative thought or idea can become physical reality.

The First Shaiya Mount

My first level 40 mount which is a Leopard, not to shabby for a World of Warcraft M.M.O.

To bad you couldn't get a mount at a lower level...
