Started Finishing My Kibler
Well, this week, I started finishing my Kibler Colonial. Some really good sanding being mindful not to get beneath the depth of some of the brass parts or "recurve" any of the surfaces.

Working brass.

Working brass.
That's a very good point. I'm having similar thoughts about keeping the barrel "white" and letting it age. I appreciate your input. -Doc- Doc Ivory

Working brass.
Been removing the casting marks on my Kibler Colonial kit brass pieces. After filing, wet sanding they shine and are silk smooth. Now I'm wondering if I should keep the pieces shiny or chemically "antique" them. Im kinda siding with antiquing them. What say yee? -Doc- Doc Ivory

I got his extra fancy which even fresh out of the box looks really really nice. I started out with plain but upgraded quickly to fancy. After about a month, I went all in on the extra fancy. I'll try to take a pic of the wood and post it soon. --Doc- Doc Ivory

Lamp Black
I scraped a bunch of my wife's candle jar tops, the undersides had quite a bit of lamp black. Added just a "touch" of olive oil and I was in business!- Doc Ivory

Lamp Black
Whilst waiting for my jar of Prussian Blue transfer color to arrive, I decided to try a little lamp black. I raided my wife's collection of Yankee candle jars and yep, under the glass lids was quite a bit of soot or lamp black. It works like a charm!!!! -Doc- Doc Ivory

Let the Games Begin!!!
I'm so excited to finally have my Kibler Colonial, 50 cal smoothie kit! The woodworking I'm pretty confident of and actually there isn't all that much to do. It will be the barrel browning I'm going to have to watch a few videos about. Waiting for my Prussian Blue transfer color to arrive...- Doc Ivory
