Step 7: Power pack

The power pack is carved from a single block of wood (4" x 8" x 1 1/2" thick). The wood was cut to a slight curve and the ends rounded with a file an sandpaper.

The pattern was drawn on and carved with a Dremel tool. I copied the best I could from the internet photos, however, you could make up your own design as well. Who will now?

Like the bottom of the stock grip, I drilled and glued a dowel to connect the tubing.

I cut a strap from the leather I purchased, but you could use a long belt or other strap. The leather strap was secured to the brass D-ring with copper rivets (True Value hardware store) and the D-ring was connected to a brass eyehook screwed int the side of the wood.

The wood was finished with dark brown stain and then I spray a copper colored paint, let it patially dry and rubbed it down to get a kind of worn metallic look.
