This pistol was made using a softwood body with a steel barrel. I stained the wood using some mahogany and walnut dyes and then used some wax​ to bring up the grain. The lock plate is Aluminium with some 1mm steel for the spring parts and the flint cap I cast in pewter. I stuck some Brass bands around the barrel and worked some more for the trigger guard and stock cap. I turned the flint screw on a lathe and used a teaspoon for the trigger. The ramrod came from a cafetière. The flint is just a piece of flint.

    A small addition to this make - I entered it into a competition run by FocalPress to promote the launch of  " The Prop Building Guidebook- by Eric Hart". I won the student category .   I was very pleased as this was one of the first things I made and I only entered on a whim.
