"BAD ASS"....Free Build..for A. Greenleaf

[WALZ]

Got to be one of the lightest doubles ever made...
weighing in at what I call amazingly lite..( she's not done and I don't have a scale).

We have amount us a member who is going to receive this as a free gift... he didn't ask for it, but might know he's getting it as I had to ask a few questions I hope it's a surprise to him anyway...

so this mornig i pulled pulled out a random lower tube piece, a couple of barrel pieces ( I only used rthe blue barrel tube) and a piece of 7/8" brass tubing..

[WALZ]

Here's some pictures below...

[Axel]

You flipped on the MarSignal

[WALZ]

These next few pictures show some progress....
i have it mocked up now in its basic form.

still some brass bits to add on but this gives you the basic form of what she going to look like

Comments are welcome... great ideas even more...

[El Gringo]

DUDE!!!!!

[Stilgar]

Shiny!

[AnarchicArctic]

I like where this is headed

[XEMON]

So pretty ... simple and elegant ...

[Chuck E Ducky]

Oh man that looks wild!

[WALZ]

Got the main body soldered together today...
stuffed a couple of ole bolts in to make sure all was good...

i like it so far... the bolts will push the balls withen 1/8" of fully seating into the barrels for a nice firm fit...
more to come...

[bellicose]

That two tone is so good looking. Do you treat the brass with anything so that it doesn't tarnish?

[Chuck E Ducky]

Blasphemy Get your shine on....

[WALZ]

No, just a good polish and mothers mag polish to keep it shiny...
I have tried some coatings but they are not tough enough and scratches look not so good as they age... so Polish once a week or so or let it tarnish which a lot of folk like...

[OpusX]

Double brass and Ti?! My goodness gracious Wally, you've been putting out masterpieces in force lately. Wonderous!

[WALZ]

Here is a picture of her with some small bits added, all in the rough at this point..
Going to be a while before I can get more completed as I cut my dang thumb into a tape worm yesterday while cutting on the chop saw...

yes, that is a little life blood I didn't get wiped off...

Might have to rename this one Bloody Bad Ass...

[Alexndl]

You can clear coat over the blood to keep it intact
This build will have your DNA in it forever

Hope you will fully recover soon

[MAr]

How will it feed??????

[WALZ]

I was thinking to do it the fastest stock class way to feed... straight tubes to change, no plugs, doors, windows to mess with..

Here is another picture with a tube in one side.
Feeds are not soldered on yet, nor are feed holes drilled as I wasn't sure what I wanted to happen.
also need to finish the bits and pieces..

Hopefully my thumb will heal up soon and I can get back to her..
