    Desk Set Fit for the US Army Infantry

    I made these after making the Cannon for the ROTC Cadre at Creighton University with artillery background.
    Infantry guys like rifles way better than Cannon!
    This was a fun project with some research required. I want to use the "greatest battle implement ever devised" (General George S. Patton)
    That is good since I did not find any ready made crossed M1 Garand rifles and I wanted these to be M1 Garands!

    Off to the Turbocad program to set up the design and then on to CamBam for the G-code. Engraved the detail and then cut out
    the entire pair of crossed rifles from 1/8" solid brass.

    Mount is made from American Walnut and hand finished of course.

    The pen holders were turned from solid brass with a tapered hole for the pens/pencils to stand at attention!
    I put a little groove in the pen holders to give them the look of a cartridge case.

    Again these will go to the two Cadre members at Creighton that have Infantry background.
