Drilled and filed to form a


Then I forged a hinge barrel on a 2" piece of 3/16 cutting them up to 1/2" wide.




Then I put together the body and 2 barrels.


I did brad these onto the body and texture it.
The picture above "main_body_16.jpg" shows the braded barrels.

Here is the trim piece with a barrel attached.


Everything lines up and slides a 3/8 bolt.
That is next forging the bolt and putting a keeper into it.
More to come.
