[QUOTE="Goldtarget, post: 58425, member: 2152"] The advantage here was i had a complete barrel to base my measurements on, and a thicker wall to drill into. I marked out using a texta where the cuts and holes should be after taking my centres. Using the existing moulding features you can be pretty damn accurate. I made the frame first without the legs because i had the pipe and joiners. While making the barrel i would suggest leaving the rear leg joiners out until its built, it adds stability to the frame while testing if the barrel runs true (without wobbling). don't glue or screw the frame together until everything is complete, in fact I'm still yet to do this, it will aid fine tuning.
