FS Custom Shooter Rods

[andrew13]

Just seeing if there's any interest out there, my daughter wanted a shooter rod that looked like a crystal ball for our Theatre Of Magic. I decided to make a couple including some solid brass ones.

I stared with some blank shooter rods turned down on the lathe, then tapped and recessed to accommodate the different knobs. I used high-end Baldwin solid brass and crystal knobs also turned down on the lathe to fit the barrel spring a little cleaner.
Attached with grade 8 hardware using red Loctite so the knobs would never back off.

The brass knobs have a clearcoat finish that will never tarnish.
The brass knobs are an 1.25" in diameter
And the Crystal knob is 1.375" in diameter with a brass base.
Asking $50 each
Any feedback is appreciated

If you have any other ideas for a custom shooter rod I will take requests.

Don't worry Drano I'm still working on the drop targets...

Thank you! They are glass, I wanted to use something that mimicked a crystal ball.

Hey luch, thanks for your interest. Yes sir I cut 2 different styles, One with no base to keep it a little tighter to the machine, the second brass one with a slightly more decorative bottom just add a little something

 

[luch]

Thanks everyone, now I just have to figure out a way to illuminate the crystal ball maybe with a slow colour changing LED

After seeing the pictures you sent me, you're getting a brand-new one from scratch.
It'll be the best way to integrate your new shifter knob anyways
