After the "Henry" build last year, I thought of really courting failure by building a Farquharson clone.
Good a time as any to start, winter here in Canada.

Warned Ya!

Anyway, started with a couple of pieces of 4140. Got out the square drill and went at it. Wouldn't EDM be easier and cheaper. Where in the tool crib do they keep the square drill bits, I wonder? next to the USN's Sea-Bees stash of sky hooks and shore line for towing perhaps. You Canadians sure have strange machine shop techniques, but at least AISI (is there a CISI) 4140 nickel chrome moly with 40 points of heat treatable carbon is a good choice, Ey??



Hope to keep at it, and will update as I ...uh.. "progress".

Enjoy
