My first forays in to making a tamper.

[ichbinmuede]

Well I just figured I'd let you all in on the beginnings of my career in making pipe tampers. Haha yeah right :lol: I just thought I'd show off a little really. I made it out of a .308 cartridge with the neck cut off, oak with no stain and finished it with cyanoacrylate...haha alright, super glue. I think it came out pretty darn well. It'll be making it's way out as a gift to a new home.

Nice work I tried one in .223

 

[ichbinmuede]

Now that's a tamper of excellent caliber. :wink:

 

[bowhatchie]

Both very nice... Love the ruggedness of the first and the ingenuity of the second...

Well done!

Now that you have the basics down it's time to learn to do Uncle Arthur Magic Ring tampers.

Lawrence That's awesome, I love how it's reminiscent of a chess piece!

Soon as I can get my hands on a lathe I'm positive I can figure it out. I'm almost sure that I've got the method down pat...in my head. :lol:

Great Tampers all of you did a great job. I have never tried to make one. Will have to give it a go sometime.

jcsnaps... I like the built in reamer was GENIUS!
unclearthur... NICE... I might make an attempt, but I'm gonna try using a King piece.
Bubba... the use of an old pipe... GENIUS.
