Step 13Alternate ending
I only had 4 towel rack supports and wanted to make an identical rifle, so I had to make due with what I had. An alternative boiler design used the second of the pair of candlesticks, and just the burner of a cheap oil lamp with the glass chimney supports just folded over the end to hold it on.
It looks good too.
The tubing couldn't end the same then, so I just drilled a hole in the banister and mounted some extra threaded finials on the other side. (This design turns out to be more practical actually, since the gun is easier to set down without the tubing in the way.)
Remember when you are building and designing to hold the gun in the way you would when it is done, and you will see any design flaws like sharp objects sticking into your belly. Make sure there is room for you hands on the end of the barrel and the tubing is not in the way etc.
Good luck.
