I recently tried to mix some Black Walnut file dust with Gorilla glue to fill voids but it was still "rubbery" when dry. Is there another mixture I should use?? Thanks in advance.....................Chawbeef

I have experienced the pain of dropping my Starrett on the shop floor. I could not afford another so bought a cheap digital caliper from Canadian Tire store and found it to be a reliable tool for my shop...........................Chawbeef

Mcat, I built the same Lancaster kit. I got one of the last 3 kits John had before he moved out of his house. The lock I got is engraved but does not have his name on it. I'm not totally happy with all of the lock parts. For instance, the tumbler "axle" is out of round and of concern to me. I am...

My Daddy bought gave me a Swedish Mora back in the early 60's, the one with the laminated blade. Great knife and I thought I would fashion a new handle for it with some Birds eye Maple I had lying around. I had enough to re handle an old Chinese cleaver as...

Thanks for all the answers. I guess I am more concerned about taxes and duties at the border. Just that much more to budget for. I have built 2 rifles but would like a Kibler kit.........................Chawbeef

I hope this is okay to post in this section. I would like to hear from any Canadian builders who have purchased a kit from the good ol' US of A recently. I am wondering if there have been any issues at the border or if any additional monies had to be paid as in duties?? Thank...
