I can't believe i finished this!
Wrist fired Gatling gun
All metal and leather construction, made from various brass findings & antique clock parts. I also mounted a real quartz crystal with copper wires as an Aethericy sort of ammunition.
on the leather i did an antique/weathered finish, and tried to keep it utilitarian.
The best part is, when you turn the key, the barrels rotate!
That was by far the hardest part on this one.

She still needs a name, and I think I'm going to make a stand for her before I list her on Ebay. any help with the name is much appreciated.
Please check out the other views in my gallery.

That's nice work with leater. What'd you use to cut it? I'm stuck with using an exacto knife and sewing it together is even tougher. This looks really smooth from the sides.

In all honesty, it was cut with an xacto knife, I usually go through at least 2 blades per piece.
I did use a beveler on the edges as well, so they taper out.
Hand stitching is always a pain in the ass, I use an awl to punch the holes, and a blunt leather needle to sew, I've got wheels to mark out the holes before punching, but a flat tined dinner fork can work as well to get even spacing.
Glad you like.

I used an exacto knife. :p Just made a belt and stuff, but it's difficult to use a needle alone. It's a thick sharp needle but I was certain there was an easier way. To make the leather more stable, you just layer it?

Oh yeah, just a needle alone is rought, punch the holes with an awl for sure. And how do you mean stable? If you mean harder, there are lots of ways, boiling (which will shrink it, but make it rock hard) or getting it wet, and using a hair dryer will stiffen it.

This one already sold, and is in private collection on the other side of the planet.
I normally do commisions, but I've got a big one I'm working on, as well as a gallery show coming up that is eating my all of my time.
That being said, shoot me an email at
Hexonal@yahoo.com annd tell me what you're looking for, and I can give you a quote and timeframe.
