I created my own jig out of a 2×1, and created a path for the bullet to fit in so it stays in place. I put the bullet on a dowel, then slice it.

Also, thank you Colleen for your kind words!

I’ve been wondering what people would think of these who aren’t gun users. Glad to hear that a non gun user still thinks they’re fun!

They are pretty fun to make! One thing I’ve noticed is that bending over and making these for a long time hurts my neck, so I’m looking into a standing desk with a little bit of slant to take the edge off ?

I have been trying to use the cartridges my husband and daughter bring home and I have a question. How do you cut the bullets to make these?

You did a beautiful job with them. Even though I’m anti-guns, I’d wear them though.

The crystals are a lovely, elegant touch for these earrings. And lucky you, having friends who can supply the bullet casings for you!
