Best to work on it with a clear head and no distractions. That’s where I’m at too. I want to get all my spring chores done while it’s still cool. The chores are as close to work as I get. Then I’ve got all summer in an air conditioned shop to work on my builds.

I work in small bites. I set small goals that I know I can achieve in a short amount of time. Most the time it's only an hour here and there but it adds up and doesn't get in the way of other obligations I have or things I want to do with my family.

I went to Jeff's shop. He taught me how to make Ramrod thimbles. He made the entry pipe. I'll be making the other two in my shop and doing the file work.

Here's an update for the 5 guys that read this old thread! Watching someone build a gun is probably like watching paint dry unless it's a woods runner! 
I worked on inletting the trigger guard today. It's getting there. Now I can pin it and get back to shaping the stock.

You might even inspire me to build one of those for myself!
