    If someone has a stamping machine (as in blacksmith/ironwork) you could flatten a shit load of them out and would make it an easier job.

    These can be significant costs borne by the family.

    Just putting it out there, I'm happy to go with the flow.
    @BRADS ?

    I'm with Shift on this. Happy to donate when I know where it's going if that makes any sense? Would love to be involved with something like the urn that's been motioned or something special for the family as a remembrance.
    I've always been told as a kid, 'one thing you should never have to too is go to your own kids funeral' and now as a family man myself I can understand what they mean.
    Just let me know.

    Only because the shells are darned hard to photograph so have attached some other work. I etch copper and brass using an acid/resist technique

    Is this possible?
    Come on chaps we must have some clever fuckers here?

    Yea I would love to see this topped off with a projectile . He did always love the larger calibre.
