Trevor Cracknell was jailed for five years for firearms offences when he made guns in a workshop at his home in Macclesfield
A man used his DIY expertise to make his own gun using a fence post and a children’s building set.
Trevor Cracknell, 48, went to a neighbour’s house in Macclesfield, Cheshire, and fired the gun which had a steel barrel encased inside a wooden casing.
The mechanism was held together with nuts, bolts and metal strips from a Meccano-style toy set.
His neighbour contacted police after Cracknell test-fired the gun inside his home and when they raided his home found a cache of homemade firearms and ammunition.
He has been jailed for five years after admitting firearms offences.
He was arrested in July last year and
during a search of his house, officers uncovered materials from other DIY projects that he had used
to further his ‘hobby’.
Cracknell cut the wooden post and hollowed it out in his workshop before putting the firing mechanism inside.
He even drew a devil’s eye and a picture of a heart on the handle with a cable at the back to cock the gun.
He
tried to test fire it in a nearby field by hanging it from a tree and
using a piece of string to pull the trigger.
That failed to work,
however, and when he went to visit his neighbour he took the gun with
him to show off his handiwork.
But the firearm went off causing a burn mark in the wall.
Inside
Cracknell’s flat, investigators discovered a handmade firearm with
green wooden casing, a large air rifle and a tin of adapted ammunition.

At Chester Crown Court he admitted to possession of ammunition of a firearm without a certificate and possession of a prohibited weapon.
Detective Constable Deby Webster said: ‘Cracknell had made a firearm out of pieces of old wood and metal.
‘Worryingly he had tried a gun out in a rural public area using a piece of string to pull the trigger from a distance. It failed to discharge so he assumed it didn’t work. However, he successfully discharged it in a neighbour’s bedroom.
‘Thankfully there was only a scorch mark on a wall. It was more by good luck than judgement that this did not result in a serious injury, or even a fatality.
‘This type of sentence should act as a deterrent to those who even think of trying to make their own weapons.’
