The older I get, the more I wish I had taken metalwork/engineering training in my youth. I see very talented people on here with the necessary engineering skills to use a lathe and a milling machine, and I am increasingly envious of their skills

Edbear is a living legend with his engineering prowess, and John and Lens recent threads about making a Webley Whiting pistol, are a great illustration of what can be done when you have time and the skills, and even the fabrication of small parts brings out the green eyed monster

Some time ago, some of you may remember that I had a Falke rearsight made by an extremely talented man,Bob Jackson who sadly is no longer with us, so I just thought I would post this thread to remind people of the wealth of talent that is on show on here from time to time.
Binners has recently posted up pictures of his BSA peep sight, that was a recent well executed project, and here is another thread on Danny's Vintage BSA site , that shows some clever fixes.
