Nothing much... Just everything.

I may have a buyer for my MI uniform, but my Screen Seen Jumpball uniform is still fair game.

bump! rook?

Rook · Post by **Rook** » Sun Jul 13, 2008 1:23 pm

Okay, here's an update. Not much, but it's something.

I have another pressure pot incoming (paid for it middle last week) so I should be able to speed up production time by running both pots at the same time. This will ideally cut me down to about 40 minutes for both a grip and barrel casting (saving appx. 25 minutes).

Then I just need to get back in the swing of things.

I apologise to everyone who is interested in the guns. Just been a hectic time both at home and at work (unusually busy at work this summer).

We'll get back in the swing pertty quick here. Sorry again for the delays!

Thanks for the update/communication. It's key

I'm in no rush. Any word on that #14 spot.
I like it that I haven't had to pay for it untill it's ready, thats the way it should be on something like this.

Is the run still open for an order?

Rook · Post by **Rook** » Thu Jul 31, 2008 1:23 am

This run is capped at a Maximum of 50 guns.

From the first post on page one.

Thanks for the interest!

Hi Rock.

Didn't you get my PM?

Same here is any spots come open. Thanks

Hey Rook,

I know I most likely have missed the 50 window, but if anyone backs out of one of the slots, please let me know, as your work looks great, and I'd love to get one.

Thanks,

Maboot

Not yet. Sorry. Work has been #377 lately, and every weekend busy.
The joy of summer...

Soon though.

PM replied to.

Now that school is back in session I may have "free time" opening up (yay!) so I will be able to get back to making guns (finally!).

That is great news to be sure

maboot38 · Post by **maboot38** » Wed Sep 17, 2008 2:10 pm

That's great Rook! Keep me posted in case you decide you have time to make one more for me!

FloatinJoe · Post by **FloatinJoe** » Wed Sep 17, 2008 5:22 pm

Rook, I know I inquired once before, but you really need to consider doing a Stembridge revolver. There'd definitely be people interested for a replica as high of quality as yours. I'd just like to have something more exciting than a resin one. Something that looks better, and has a little weight.

Rook · Post by **Rook** » Thu Sep 18, 2008 9:56 am

I've thought about it, but I need to complete my existing projects before I seriously consider tackling another one.

Russ

ReturningSon · Post by **ReturningSon** » Sat Sep 20, 2008 1:04 am

Man, I hope a run is opened soon, I am desperate for one of these babies!!

Rook · Post by **Rook** » Sat Sep 20, 2008 10:57 am

Finally got the hardware parts for the second pressure pot last night. Just need to assemble it now.

Russ

(key heavenly music)

aww!!! yeah!!!

Fingers crossed.....

Rook · Post by **Rook** » Sat Oct 04, 2008 3:14 pm

Got the new pressure pot assembled. It has some sort of slow air leak at the emergency release valve that I can't get sealed. If anyone has any suggestions, I'd welcome them.

Other than that it seems like it will work okay.

Russ

ReturningSon · Post by **ReturningSon** » Sat Oct 04, 2008 5:03 pm

suggestions? How 'bout opening a new run? Just jokin..It should work fine as long as the leak is very, very slow.

ANZAC_1915 · Post by **ANZAC_1915** » Sat Oct 04, 2008 6:16 pm

Is there a way you can open and close the valve? Might be a bit of dirt stuck in there.

IndyTaz · Post by **IndyTaz** » Mon Oct 06, 2008 3:51 am

#### I go away for a few months down a mine and look what happens!!! Sigh.......

PLEASE keep me in line for the next run or an opening in the list Rook. I'd be happy to go with a totally raw kit and put it together and trim ect myself if that would help:)

Cheers

Yeah, there's a pull ring on the front of the valve. I might try lubing it with some silicone oil as well.

Russ

Rook · Post by **Rook** » Sun Oct 12, 2008 6:12 pm

Just a heads up.

I'm casting about 2 grip/barrel sections in an hour and a quarter, about twice as fast as when I was running just a single pressure pot.

I had 2 partial guns in the raw from before, and now I'm up to 5 with one in the pots as we speak.

If I can devote more time to it this week we should be well on our (collective) way.

Thus ends the update.

This update was brought to you by the letters I and J, and the number 4.

MacFett · Post by **MacFett** » Sun Oct 12, 2008 10:40 pm

I guess I need to update my info for #39.
TN. USA, Light weathering, drilled barrel, and black on brass sight.
Thanks Rook.

andrewindy · Post by **andrewindy** » Thu Oct 23, 2008 2:53 am

hello ross

Do you still cast the webley gun? if You do. I would like to buy one.

North Point, Hong Kong
Light weathered
Drilled. Black marker over brass

let me know how to pay you.

thanks

Rook · Post by **Rook** » Fri Oct 24, 2008 10:32 am

The run is currently capped at 50 people (because if I kept adding names I'd NEVER finish.

).

When the current run is complete, assuming I don't have another project come up, I'll get the moulds remastered and there will be more guns.

Thanks for the interest!

And... An update: As of last week I'm up to 10 raw kits. Been busy with work/family/family work this week so I haven't gotten any more done.

I'm hoping to get a few more out of the pots this weekend.

Let's see, another project.... I'll keep voting for a Stembridge S&W. Maybe someday I'll be able to convince you to do it.

When your gun is ready you will be able to pay with a money order.

Cheers!

Rook · Post by **Rook** » Thu Nov 20, 2008 10:13 am

Just a brief progress update. I'm up to appx. 17 kits in the raw. I'm going to start finishing them soon, possibly this weekend. Had to buy more metal for the metal parts... wow. Metal prices have gone nuts, that's for certain.

Hello Rook,
I want one of these for sure! Please put me on your next list (if there is one) for either a finished one or a kit if that speeds things up. I do auto restoration and am pretty good at detailing. Thanks

I'm in WA state.

Sounds like you need to go back to sleep. ;-)

Rook · Post by **Rook** » Fri Dec 05, 2008 2:14 pm

Okay, slot 14 is still open. If you are ALREADY on the 50 list and would like to be bumped from your higher number to the 14 slot, let me know.

Post in this thread as my PM box is full already.

People in the sub #27 positions get first dibs, then it will go to those higher on the list if nobody in the lower section wants to move down. Or is that up?

Thanks,

Russ

Chachap · Post by **Chachap** » Fri Dec 05, 2008 2:19 pm

Sign me up Russ!!! I'll take #14.

Also, if one of those sub-26ers takes it, I'd be happy to move into their slot. PayPal at the ready!

Rook · Post by **Rook** » Fri Dec 05, 2008 2:26 pm

Okay, you have first option if none of the sub 27 want the slot.

Cheers!
