did some work on my retro-futuristic ray gun. as usual i forgot to take before pictures. so, the main gun part is an old air tool. i think it’s some sort of sander from ingersoll rand. prob from the 60’s. i welded the front muzzle which is some sort of bearing assembly. The black and silvery thingy towards the front is aslo some sort of random bearing assembly i found. i have no idea what that thing on top is but its wonderful. my only guess is that it’s a peice from an actual ray gun. the weld is actually broken, and needs to be fixed with some JB WELD. i sculpted the trigger gaurd from a punch drop of steal i found in the trash at DISSTON PRECISION INC after i took a tour there. it’s welded in the front. i wanna add some other do-dads n stuff. maybe some LEDs or some wires and or steam fittings. i hope to make a fancy box for it to go into. like it belongs to some retired space ranger. more posts to come.
