Intro: How to make a Colt Western Pistol in 3-4 hours
This is how I made a 1860-inspired Colt for my Son. NOTE: The intention was not to make an exact replica, but to make a robust wooden toy with enough details to be
interesting.

Step 1:
1. step was to make a drawing of the pistol, cut it out and use it as a template to draw a cut line on 18 mm plywood. I Chose 18 mm plywood because it is easy, to
remove one or two layers to make some details.

Step 2:
2. Step was to cut out the handle and half of the stock cylinder.

Step 3:
3. This step shows the pistol after cut out and what it looks like after I glue the handle and the cylinder parts on to the body. Note also, how I have removed some layers
of the plywood to ad details.

Step 4:
4. After sanding I painted the pistol. First black all over so there would be no unpainted spots. After this, I experimented with a pure "iron" version, but settled with a "iron"
and "brass" version.

Tool and material: Electric jigsaw, rasp, sanding paper, carving iron, drill, glue, acrylic paint, varnish, 18 and 3 mm plywood, 40 mm round stick

Time spend all in all: 3-4 hours. Have fun!

I can remember being 10 years old and wanting something like this. The only power tool at my disposal was an electric drill, though. Toy guns like this that I
made were not nearly as nice as this, but I was still probably the only kid in our one-room K-8 country school who made any of his own toy guns for our
shootouts at recess. Thank you for publishing this.

Guns are such good toys. The kids get to run around using their imagination. I have made around 40 different guns by now. Infortunately I didn't know
Instructables then, so I haven't got any documentation of the proces to post, but I could add a couple of pictures of the finished result. They are all made
the same way as in this example...

A number of Instructables were done "after the fact." Make close-up photos of the detail you are explaining in each step and mention that you are
making the Instructable now, even though you made the actual project some years ago. Or, I have also made a second copy of the item and
documented the steps for making it. Thank you for pictures of your other toy gun projects.

When I was 10 years old there was a national Davy Crockett craze. I made my own Davy Crockett rifle from a broomstick (the barrel), a piece of
porch railing we were replacing (stock), some odd pieces of steel I shaped (lock and trigger guard), tin can pieces folded (barrel bands), and some
nails. We still have it almost 56 years later. We just turned it over to my daughter and her husband for our new grandson.
