I only lack building the T&E. What a blast this was. Cole parts kit,Panacea Beach Bum RSP, and machined internals myself. The tripod was built using tubing and 1/8'' plate.The tripod was way harder than the gun build. Now I know why they're so expensive.LOL.A huge thanks to this forum. I could have never built a 1919 without the information provided on here. Looking forward to the Hernando shoot and maybe another build.
Thank You All,
Calvin

Question about the tripod head. Did you form the top half from solid? I can't figure out a good way to do that. I was thinking of cutting four pieces of plate.

Top, two sides and bottom. Form the top and sides appropriately and weld the sides to the top then grind the weld to look presentable.

Thoughts?

Thanks,

That picture is just what I needed. Got any more?

That is how I was thinking it had to be done, at least at my house.

Thanks again.
