I do believe that you are an inspiration to a great number of folks on this site. Me for sure. GREAT WORK!!!!

Dave Waters · « **Reply #94 on:** April 01, 2011, 10:34:42 PM »

Runar, Congratulations!!! I have watched your progress with enthusiasm.

May I suggest that you publish a step by step pictorial book that others can buy. I'm sure it would be a real asset to many now and in the future.

How is the left hand pistol coming along?

Hey Runar,
The pistol project was quite an undertaking, and you succeeded in grand style. You have shown all of us that you not only are an accomplished wood and metal worker, but can photograph and record in good tutorial form as well.

I eagerly awaited each installment and was greatly impressed by your dedication to the project and how you finished with a firearm you can be proud of.

You are truly a first class craftsman/gunbuilder. Thanks for allowing us to enjoy the ride with you!

Runar,

That is a wonderful pistol. Thanks for having us with you as you built it. Now if I could find some talent I might could do that

Hey Randy Steffy!! How you doing?

James · « **Reply #98 on:** April 02, 2011, 06:17:34 AM »

Thanks for taking the time to show us how to make the swivel gun. It shows me that it can be done, and I will be tackling one in the hopefully not too distant future. You really did a fine job. Thanks again, James.

runastav · « **Reply #99 on:** April 02, 2011, 06:40:15 PM »

I thank you all for your kind words

Dave, the left hand swivel mek is in the hand of Rolf and we must be patience
