Thread: Making A Quigley Sharps Rifle on my lathe.

The hammer is coming along nicely , the hole in the hammer for the tumbler shaft had to be square, so set up the hammer in fore jaw chuck centred on the hole then using the lathe saddle as a shaper with a small square cutter I slowly cut across using cross slide then turned chuck to register for the fore sides , now how is that for thinking outside the square , Then some filing and fine sanding to get a good finish, I know my stuff , so here is the hammer, Cheers, Homebrew.357.
