The paradox loading tools, old and new -- what an inspiration.

I have very few original *old* tools, but I do have original old rifles. They all tend to have ended up needing quite a bit of special *new* tooling to get them running.
It's always lots of fun once things get rolling!

The work ranges from building punches to building dies.
There are times I need the lathe to get anything done, but once the tools and basic components are built, the actual loading is quite simple and typically ends up happening in my graver's vise (as it's always handy), or at the shooting bench with simple hand tools.
