I actually did a few small projects this weekend but forgot to take pictures 
First was a couple of packers for a friend with AXA tool holders and small diameter boring bars. I simply milled some 6061 aluminium that I had to position the bars so that the dog point set screws tightened over the centre of the bar.
I also made up a 303 British snap cap for a friend, as they are about $25 to buy here. I had seen the picture below and made one using some thin scrap brass that I had on hand. The end doesn't protrude through the projectile (only in about half way) but it works and he is happy with it.

Not the best photos but you can see the tip of the projectile has been cut off by the through hole. The firing pin strikes are evident in the brass even though the pressure required to push the plunger in is very light.
