Flintlock Gunsmithing

Here’s a simple design for a longrifle work station…

I’m sure Mr. Tip wouldn’t mind me sharing these if it would help a new builder out ..

RIP Mr. Tip

Mike Miller's video on "Building the Daniel Boone Rifle" is a good video too. Both the Miller and House Videos are available through the Log Cabin Shop. If you buy the House Videos, I suggest ordering the companion book, " Building the Kentucky Longrifle" by K. A.. & J. W. Wright, as well.

Other good venues are the NMLRA gun building class, and the Hershel House Woodbury School foundation. They are hosting a longrifle buttpiece and triggerguard forging class in a couple of weeks.

I built a few kits 20+ yrs ago and a flint form scratch at the same time. I have had the hardware and stock/barrel in storage all that time. Now that life is letting me I planed on start working on them this winter. Seeing/finding this thread and the 'BillRaby' videos among the other tips I am thinking it is time, all of the signs are happening. Going to watch some videos, sort of a build along. 20 years ago I had an 'old' guy guiding me along, unfortunately he has passed, so I don't have that resource.
Thanks to all. I plan on posting when I have stuff to post.
Keep up the good work guys.
