Hello Hive and friends!
Today I made a very cool looking wooden gun from a stick that I found on my way back home from school
Before this conversion it had a much much longer handle which I called a "Ammo strip". I then cut off the "Ammo Strip" with a favourite tool of mine called a snipper. (It's my dad's but I use it sometimes for my sticks.)
After that I de-barked the handle with my dad's file. That would be where the real gun trigger would be. At this point I started getting quite excited because it was looking good so far. Then to add a bit of extra goodieness to the gun. I made a split in the front of the gun to make a piece for a aiming thing.
I origionally did this for one of my other guns (yes I have a whole collection of sticks and wooden guns) for an aim thingy. Then I fashioned a pair of old unused rogue shoelaces and hastily tied them to the handle of the gun.
Next thing to do is to make this thing look 20% cooler! I then used the side of the iron file to make some engraved tally marks to resemble a kill count of sorts for an assassin type of character.
Now here is where I got really creative. I took a bit of another stick, split it at the one end, stuck a piece of wood shaving in between the gun and the new ammunition slot.
Which can also be put up vertically to become another handle.
Cool right? And that is just one of my sticks. I can't wait to show you the rest of them!
Until then have a good day!
