    Nock Volley Gun

    The kit was about like most kits - a lot of work to correct issues with the pre-carved stock. If you don't like to polish metal, this kit is not for you.

    TC Hawken stock re-finish

    Instead of a chemical stripper, I use a utility knife blade as a scraper. It peels the finish right off.

    Single set triggers

    Liston Rice (www.buckridgeflintlocks.com/shop) makes a really nice single set trigger. I've used these on several rifles. With some careful filing, these can be set up so that you can **** the lock before setting the trigger.

    Diving into a plank. My Chisels and files

    I highly recommend the Shinto rasp shown in Larry (Omaha) post. It's my go to rasp now for working flat surfaces. It takes off wood faster than any rasp I've ever used. You can work it any direction. Woodcraft sells them.
