Twister "kit"

[ShotgunDave]

Have you tried throwing an "F" bomb at it yet? Sometimes that works for me.....may not fix the issue, but I always feel better.....

Mick is on to something here. I have used many, many "F" bombs in my endeavors. It always seems to help. Might be worth a try.

[Captainkirk]

Works for me.

I played with the Twister a bit yesterday, no joy yet. I may be over my pay scale on this gun. But there is some improvement in hammer movement.

You're not holding your mouth right.

You're not holding your mouth right.

Correction: you are not holding your tongue in your mouth right.

Never heard that one before.

My brother used to do that when he was really concentrating, trying to do something hard!

When my wife is really concentrating upon whatever, her tongue tip finds it coming out of her mouth in different ways. I have tried to discern what each motion relates to, but after 34 years I am still at a standstill.

I've seen people do it. Whenever I was having a hard time doing something my dad always said you're not holding your mouth right.

[mazo kid]

Well, I have 2 different things to try now. Maybe both at the same time?!

[mazo kid]

I continue to work a bit on the Twister almost every day. I am of the opinion that the gun was never made operational. As the hammer pivots back, the rear of the hammer moves to the back. I shortened up the spring I made, a little at a time. At a point it will slip off the spring "ledge".

View 2. I think you can visualize what I mean by the rear of the hammer moving back.

[mazo kid]

I am slowly altering the rear of the hammer.

[mazo kid]

I'll tell you what... that hammer is HARD! I had to get my Dremel out, doubled up on cut-off wheels to take off metal. Still have a ways to go.

[ShotgunDave]

Man, what a pain! Looks like you're headed in the right direction though.

[mazo kid]

I dunno, maybe I shouldn't have been so "public" with this project until I got it working.
