Wheellock Project
Greetings, Tom, not sure exactly what you'd like to see. More of the early process? Since I finished the Locks I've started Stocking but thus far only have the Barrels inlet not real exciting. Hank- Henry Elwood

Schroeter Wheellock lock fix
Greetings, I like your work and I find your video interesting. There aren't many examples of what it looks like so you can compare to what you are getting. Thanks. Hank- Henry Elwood

Wheellock Project
Greetings, I'm glad I have kept my student lists and seating chart. You were between Keith Grien and Jack Burkhardt in Ron's Class. It's been a long time. We learned how to make the Rolled Edge at the front and back of the Pipes that I later used to make the Pipes for the Lukens Air...- Henry Elwood

Wheellock Project
I started this in January. I had previously made two Wheellocks from TRS back in the '90s. The Graz Book from a couple years ago got me going again. Not really knowing how things exactly interacted with each part I started by making a mock-up in wood. This proved to be helpful when I made...- Henry Elwood

Greetings, I like the shape of the butt stock. He should be very happy with his rifle, having a father setting him on a life long interest is great. Your lock should work just fine I've made quite a few TRS locks. Hank- Henry Elwood

New Lock Addition
Greeting Cossack, The Pommels were one offs. They actually had x3 Figure Heads, an Eagle, Lion, and a Grotesque Face under the beak. A friend had the opportunity to make the mold and shot the waxes and I took them to a foundry I've used in the past. Sorry about that. I know it's fun finding...- Henry Elwood

New Lock Addition
Greetings, first let me thank Pukka Bundook, Treestalker, and Shotgunblast for your kind words. I am not very good at reading and writing on computers. I had to chuckle at Rick's comment about trying to make early locks work as good as Jim Chamber's/Siler. Couple years back I made a Brace of...- Henry Elwood

New Lock Addition
Rick, I would agree with you completely. When you think the ballpark time for invention of the French Flintlock mechanism was about 1630 and the strength of the trade guilds to keep their trade secrets secret it really did take awhile to get it completely together. The **** bolt and tumbler...- Henry Elwood

New Lock Addition
Greetings, Nice lock. TRS had/has a French 1650 period lock #691. I put x2 together currently. My only issue with them was that the tumblers were not correct for the lock so I made new tumblers and the correct "tumbler bolt" these early locks still had features of Snaphaunce. I also...- Henry Elwood

Hi all, new member with an interest for wheellocks
Rick, I should have responded earlier to your kind words, Thank you very much. I don't know how to word this. Yes, there is a lot of time involved but I don't try to think of the immediate time involved. That's why I'm glad I never thought of this for my primary occupation and more my...- Henry Elwood

Snaphance sear operation.
Greetings, Not much to add to the thread but this is my Snaphaunce on the back cover of TRS catalog '96-'97. It works great and has served me for many years. My friend Peter Fuller from England had a lot of fun shooting it. When we were in Bowling Green, KY for class. When he retired, went...- Henry Elwood

Hi all, new member with an interest for wheellocks
Greetings, Rudyard Yes, Ideally not only my Flask should have been in Iron also the furniture on my Wheellock. My instructor for Blacksmithing just didn't follow through on my request to learn how to Forge the Trigger Guard. I tried at home , and it just didn't get done so over time I...- Henry Elwood

Hi all, new member with an interest for wheellocks
This is my first post. The art of building a wheellock is not that easy just because they were an early firearm. The other thing I have found is that folks also think that just because it's a muzzleloader anyone can make one. The lock is the heart. When I first started I thought if I started...- Henry Elwood
