I made my first one almost 20 years ago without the benefit of a cnc it took me over 30 hours of off and on time at work I made the handles and the blocks God they are ugly the first set of blocks were off because I didn't index correctly. They were slightly off and didn't make a perfect ball, so I made the second one and it drops a very good .545" ball for my T/C 56 cal smooth bore I didn't want to pay the price T/C wanted for their blocks and I couldn't get balls for it from the plant.
That's a very pretty coloration. What subspecies is it.
Think it got dormant real fast when @Gtrubicon spotted it.
It’s a Western Diamondback, the colors on this one were very vivid compared to all the others I’ve come across. We also have Timber Rattlers here. They are very dark.
Did you order that from the sportsman's guide?
Thanks for the kind words about my dog. She is not doing better so we will be heading back to the vet. How did you enlarge my avatar picture?For a happy bloke, that rat in your avatar looks pretty cranky! I do hope your dog improves.
Cheers, Pete

Thanks Longcruise, having a lathe helps, knowing how to actually use it would help even more!
