As usual Greg, beautiful work.  You’ve got to love the work, and ending parts, to do this.  Alway inspired by your posts!

Really had an old guy moment when I started the knobs for these rings, thought I could make them really small and dainty... I could barely see the graduations on the turrets with my 6x magnifiers on while cutting them, what led me to believe I'd be able to see these at the range when shooting?  I'm lucky to see detailed Lyman or Fecker markings with my reader/safety glasses. Twenty years ago, no problem, haven't convinced myself that I aging and deteriorating.  Here's a couple pics of the turrets before I part them off, the first small set, and the reality set.

Finally inspired by a pic posted the other day, here's a re-de casting from Rodney I think, made parts and it works. Smiley

That's so neat Greg! 
I just got a small collection of High Wall scheutzen rifles and two are Bremers. Would be neat to have a tool like that to go with one.

Noticed your probably spur of the moment mandrel for that wheel cutter. Sometimes you can't wait to order tooling so you make your own. I also have a couple of those...
