You can live with the consolation that I'll be losing sleep while I wait for you to get molds out.

 

[LeeKegan]

It will be a little while, so you might try to get some sleep. LOL

Thanks for all the great comments.

Lee, you are a true artisan in every sense of the word. Every wood working project you do is amazing. I hope you don't mind if I ask you a few questions.

You said that was Poplar wood, from Lowe's?

What kind of sand paper do you use?

What brand of wood glue do you use?

And one more, do you use a jigsaw or band saw to shape your pieces?

Thanks for your time, and please keep sharing your awesome projects with us.

PS @ jtr7227, I believe you have to make 100 posts in order to be upgraded. I'm not sure though.

Thanks Lee. I have been kicking around the idea of making wooden weapons for a while now, after I saw you Reach sniper rifle. I have worked with wood before, such as lathe work and gluing and framing, but I still consider myself a beginner. Any words of wisdom you would care to pass on?

I get at Lowe's. I don't know if you have this store in Australia. Here is there site. http://www.lowes.com/?cm_mmc=search_google-_-Brand Core-_-Core Terms Exact-_-lowe's I looked it up and they grow it on tree farms for use in Australia, so you might be able to find it.

Good luck,

Lee

Thanks man... I think our version of Lowes is Pontings, Bunnings and Mitre 10... I'll keep looking for it though... One other thing i probably should have asked before, what sizes do you get? Thankyou good sir...

Cheers, Dave.

Most is 1/4 inch or 6 to 7 millimeters in thickness up to 3/4 inch or 2 centimeters in thickness. When I want thinner I sand or cut it down.
