Lee owns the "Single Actions" site, is an avid collector & a walking encyclopedia on many single action revolvers.
He is also fortunate enough to share a well stocked machine shop with his dad, where he is able to build some neat stuff.
Here's a thread about a Ruger conversion he's just completed, where the machine work was done all in-house, himself. Pretty fascinating stuff, really & I'm sure there's a few of our machinist members who would like to check this out, too.

A few teaser pics. Here he's cutting chambers in the cylinder...
Threading the barrel...
Milling the barrel contour on the bottom of a new sight blade.

WOW! That was a great education reading the evolution of a gun. Wish I had taken up machining as a trade. Can't imagine mass producing guns like DW use to.
CG, thanks for posting this.
