It currently weighs 2kg. Which makes it a hefty beast. I’d like to make it a little lighter but there isn’t much I can do to lighten it other than drill a few discrete holes to remove some material.What an updateI'm sure it's hefty too...weight of that beauty?
He’s actually the reason I started this project. I’ve watched his build at least twice all the way through.Awesome built. I remember watching Adam Savage build his replica on tested every week and really enjoying those videos. My wife would tease me when she'd walking in the room and say "Are you watching Adam Sandwich making his Looney toons gun again?". And it would crack me up bc the gun did look pretty amazingly massive in Adam's hand.

It's an amazing bit of machining. Truly very impressiveView attachment 1896771Been working on the hammer and its mechanism, I’m starting to get somewhere with it now. It’s taken a surprising amount of faffing around and patience to get it to work.
At the moment the release lever is the pewter lever from the replica that I got from Tiptop Workshop. But I will be making a new one out of brass soon.How'd you do the release lever? Is it a casting, print, cnc, or did you do it by hand?

Yes, I machined it flat then bent it to the correct shape. If you look closely you can see a small crack in the tight bend that I’ve had to solder up. I think it adds a bit of character to it .oh, that's clever, I was wondering how to go about that part, did you machine it flat then bent it? looks great![]()
