    For a couple of years, I've had this idea of making a handle out of a rifle bullet case for a Super Speed. My idea was to use a Knack or Slim Twist as they would be the easiest. I used a 300 Win Mag case and shortened the neck, about 1/16", to allow it to go under the turning knob. Also I added some BB's and epoxy for some weight. The razor is an English Slim Twist..............

    Awesome work Jim. It looks really good like that. Now you need to figure out how to make a brush to go with that. Maybe a 30 mm case cut down:transport024:

    Thanks Tom. I have brass 20mm cases that I've used before for brushes. But would like to find larger ones, especially nickel ones.
