    Bookie's barrel welding seminar

It was plenty hot but we learned how to turn a wrought iron wagon tire into a gun barrel. Here's a picture...

    Gravers

    Wick....I think you missed the point of my comment. I know the name is Crocker, but the guy on ebay doesn't. So if you want to get a good deal on one, search ebay for COCKER. Az

    Gravers

    Save yourself some money and just get a square graver and a Crocker sharpener. You can get the square graver at any of the places people have mentioned and you can get the sharpener off ebay. Here's a hint on the sharpener: search for Cocker sharpener. Yes, that should be Cocker, rather than...

    Workbenches

    Here's a picture of part of my workspace. The gun bench comes in handy and was given to me by a local gun builder. If I need something held more firmly I just clamp it up in the bench vice (behind the stand). Az

    Just finished the latest flinter

    I'm somewhat new to the forum. I've been a reader for quite a while, but hadn't posted. I decided to share my latest project with you guys. I put on the last coat of finish yesterday and assembled the gun this morning. It turned out pretty decent I think. 44 cal, 40" barrel, Isaac Haines...
