Tom,<br><br>I'm absolutely no skilled machenist. I love target shooting and collect (old) Airpistols and sometimes got one of the older solid metal Webley Airpistols with pins etc. lost, broken etc.<br><br>An older gunsmith with hands like shovels knew me and offered some help and he learned me to work a little with a lathe. I still remember the first time I turned some thread onto the new chamber closure of an Webley Airpistol that I made and I disengaged the automatic feed instead of stopping it and reversing it while I had the cutting head turned back. I didn't understand why my threading looked like multiple spirals until he explaned it to me what I should do. I had to make another chamber plug but I will never forget what I should not do when turning a thread onto something ;)<br><br>Best Scouting wishes from Holland,<br><br>Bagheera
