Hey gang,

Started this project to go with my fullsize T2 display.
Trying to build this as cheaply as possible yet look good.
I sourced all the PVC from Bunnings, used styrene card and took most of the measurements from the Kuta Airsoft plans and the first picture.
I'm kind of comparing the two and then making a judgement call.
Here are some pics...

I do have a question to ask the forum though: Where can I get the parts (or what are they called) that I've circled in the first pic?

The chrome parts look like pull-apart key rings..

You might approximate the other part with a drawer-pull, t-handle knob, or something like that. Here's an adjustment knob from a router that isn't right but is a similar shape.

EDIT: I knew it was reminding me of something.. a spinning reel handle..

The other part looks kind of like a t-handle/quick release too?

Heavy duty T-handle quick release pin - Fixtureworks

Lowes or Home Depot probably has some.

Great call on the key rings! They're cheap and will look good too!

Thanks! The aluminum is taking the time. Can't wait to finish that, then I'll glue the barrels, sand and get some paint on it!

Looks great man! Absolutely incredible! .

Did you use a lathe at any point or is that all hand done? .

Cheers, Dave.

All hand done! Haven't completely unpacked my garage yet so I'm just using a pedestal drill, files, hacksaw and a grinder. Can't even find my dremel!

Amazing ... everytime I see someone build one of these beauties it makes me want to start one for myself. And your's is one of the best builds I've seen.

I'll be keeping an eye on this thread for sure :thumbsup
