You are doing a fine job TS.

I like the modifications to your vise. I'm looking at possibly getting a vise like yours, How would you rate it ?

Almost finished, still have a few coats of Tru-Coat to apply,
it's time to cast some round ball and proof test the barrel.
I had a couple issues near the end of sanding , sanded thru near barrel on left side , decided to finish  it as is , I'll repair later.
can't wait to fire it.
