Early pictures of the model and fuse

The first working model

A 30cm metal ruler propped against the right edge of the model provides scale for this compact unit.

The powder feed funnel aligned with the top Die. A plastic bottle neck provides the thread guide.

The drive band between the Die plate and the upper bracket mounted to the lazy susan bearing.

The quality of the woven fuse. Shown here uncoated and with a short section of waterproofed fuse.

Here the black powder core can clearly be seen in contrast to the white nitrocellulose lacquer.
