Rattle chamber experiment.....and some Pabst :)

Hey Fellas,

Snow day here in WI as we are getting pounded so I finally got some shop time. Here is a short little video on a rattle chamber I made (my first) using a tutorial from another site with some fun and effective modifications.

My process was very similar to the tutorial, I took one of my Musky Spook blanks and drilled a shallow 5/8" hole with forstner bit on both sides of the plug. I then drilled a 1/2" channel through plug. Next, I drank a Pabst and then cut two 5/8" discs from the can to seal the ends. I also lined the 1/2" channel with Pabst aluminum as well. I used epoxy to seal the end disc and then when dry added a 5/16' steel bearing. I then epoxied the other end cap and filled in hole with plumbers putty. I sanded the putty when dry and I was pleasantly surprised with how loud the rattle is. The plumbers putty definitely added to the decibels.









Thanks for checking it out....I hope everyones building season is productive so far
Best,
MS
