So... This story starts over 40 yrs ago as a small child on holiday in Dunkirk, i bought a shell case from flea market for 20 francs (  they had sold out on fleas)  which then languished in Dads shed until he died ......

67% Copper .  I always assumed ( wrongly ) they were brass casings .

Brass is copper and zinc alloy... so this is 67% copper 33% zinc.
Different ratios give different properties to the brass

Of course . I should have remembered that !  Thank you .

No calibre on case, which is odd.  Also, didn't make the copper driving bands on shell,  cos that was effort  - could just use old piston rings  ? K

look what i just found...

 

 

 

Pete green told me years ago that transworld sport had filmed there but i wonder why it has taken so long to get the film out on youtube...

 

 

i made the hornbeam pins, the lignum vitae cheeses and the frame (made of iroko and hard maple) the pins stand on.

 

i hope the game keeps going.
