    A boys new gun

    You are a man after my own heart. I hope I can build as well as you for all my Grandkids. (Only one so far, but lots of Nephews and Nieces.) Woody

    A boys new gun

    I absolutely agree! The one I did for my nephew looks quite alot like this one (only not as good). It is certainly my hope that he will always remember that his uncle made it. Woody

    Hardening a Frizzen

    Wick, what do you mean by "a short soak at temp" please? Is this a quick quench and then leave out to temper in the air? Or a quick quench and place back in the fire to slowly cool as the fire goes out? Or something else? Woody

    Deutchers Big Bore

    Like they say - "It's yer gun, build what cha wants!" I think your supposition on what a poor farmer might have for supplemental feeding of his family is very interesting and quite probably true. I like the idea of a well built "parts gun". Woody

    Crockett Kit

    Years ago I built the Traditions 32. Cal Crockett pistol and it was alright. But the old adage "you get what you pay for" is very true. I guess my point is that it would be a very good kit to learn on. Woody

    A decorated 17th century gun

    "I am an amateur and not working for a client"... Ha! A technicality only. It's obvious you could do this and make a great deal of money at it if you wanted to. Woody

    Trade Secrets

    Zonie - "What little you know about building guns?!!!" This is one of those "You have more knowledge in your little finger than I have in my whole body" type of things. And yes, I do know the basics. I am one of those guys that reads all the posts on building that are on here and quietly...
