Re: Ducklings and Swans - TL-29 Conversions
It's been almost a year since anything has been posted in this thread. I guess everyone forgot about it like I did.
Since I'm here, it seems like the perfect opportunity to once again run out this show pony that Dale did up for me. Again Dale, my deepest gratitude. This is such a beauty.

Re: Ducklings and Swans - TL-29 Conversions
Sadly, I have some projects that should have been completed by now. It's been extremely tough to get any shop time lately...first my son graduating, then my wife's aunt passed away this weekend. We spent Saturday at the hospice with her, and Sunday moving all of her stuff out of the apartment. Crazy...jerryd6818 wrote:Don't worry Josh.

Re: Ducklings and Swans - TL-29 Conversions
I just found this thread, I can't believe I missed it. Here are pic's of a couple of TL-29's I redid a while back.






I started a couple of weeks ago trying to make my own blade and spring based on the TL-29 pattern. It's been slow going so far, but I hope to have something finished in a few weeks. I'll post some pic's once I get it finished.
