Used 1'' stock, so no need to turn to size. The rest of the order is as you listed.

Next project..make yourself a complete set of these in 12,16,20,and 28 ga. They are mechanical dent raisers for shotgun barrels. These will make you MONEY! You only have to make the anvils to fit the tool. Make the tool once and make the anvils interchangable.
Good luck to you!( I have only the 12 so make me a set as well)
Oh and DON'T buy the Wheeler screw driver set. Buy the Brownells set.
If you decide to make these, (and trust me you should) PM me and i will take the tool apart, photograph it and send you the specs. These are $300.00 each if you buy them. The various anvils are $100 ea.

I hope to continue that tradition of the gunsmith as an artist. I just hope I have (and can learn) the skills. We have a 12gauge dent raiser in our project list that I have to do as part of my grade. Not as nice as yours, so check your PM's.
The Brownells set was recommended and I did buy it. Nice to get the discount from them as well.
We have a list of 29 required projects for this semester. Once we complete them, we have a list of about 45 optional projects we can tackle as well. Or any other tools we would like to make. I am slowly getting a little bit quicker on the lathe. But I am also trying to get my tools as good as possible and that does take extra time.
