I thought the gun would look cool and more futuristic with a crazy frame/cage thing on the outside, so I had to figure out how to make it. I decided I'd use wooden dowel, with wood epoxy to hold it together, then mount it on the gun.
The first thing I had to do was make a template based off of measurements of the gun. I just bent a piece of wire to the shape I wanted, and then transferred that to paper.
Then I taped that to a piece of wood to use as a template.
I drilled the support pieces, and screwed them down. That way I could get exact measurements for all of the pieces.
I had to radius the ends of the dowels to fit, so I made a jig out of a piece of hardwood, and put it on the drill press.
Once all of the pieces were cut, I used wood epoxy to glue them in place.
After it was all glued & sanded, I applied a coat of primer.
