An Airship Admiral's Sidearm. An elegant steampunk pistol.

Step 5 Fitting the different parts together..

The next thing I did was make the shape of the body of the pistol, again in Walnut, a very richly grained hardwood, which shimmers slightly when polished.

I spent a while with a chisel and dremel making the hole to fit the trigger mechanism into, then drilled some corresponding dowel holes into the body and the barrel pieces, then used thick, strong wood glue to stick them together, then clamped them over night.
