so i have a friend who has an old 90 mm shell casing, and he asked me to turn a wooden shell for it.

 

sure.

 

how big?

 

so he sent me some pics of the inner diameter and outer diameter of the casing mouth, and asked that the shell go into the casing by 2 inches, and that the exposed portion be about 10 inches long.

 

oddly, trees don't grow in that shape and size, so i have some scrap lumber gluing up to make the right size.

 

one big bullet coming up sometime this week.

 

oh, if you use a vernier caliber, please get a good straight on shot of the vernier, so i can accurately read the dimension.  sigh....

A-10 30mm turned for a friend-

I’m going to need a bigger lathe!!!

Running my saw mill I hit a bullet... I wanted a way to show what I hit.

so I turned a bullet out of the bullet.
