The gun building class is underway, all are welcome to come watch and learn as we work. Please bring any items of interest to share or projects in progress, we are more than happy to offer advice.
At 12:30 we will have a seminar on hunting pouches by our guest speaker, Ohio artisan Dean Freund. Dean has long been involved in living history and the Black Powder scene in general, and will share with us his knowledge of the hunting pouch and discuss the techniques he uses in creating them.
This is a FREE seminar.

Man, I wish we had something like that around here. Those of you that can, should go. You are lucky to have the option.

Can you post a quick summary of the gun building topics/demonstrations to be held during the seminar?

I'll be in SW Ohio visiting family around that time so it might be worth the drive up to Lodi. I'm looking at getting a .40 Dickert kit as my 1st flint rifle building project.

Thanks

By all means, if you can make time for it come on up. See above for the info on the seminar, Dean Freund will be the guest speaker. that will start at around 12:30 and may run a couple hours. I talked with him on the phone yesterday, he has some good stuff planned, will be showing some of his neat methods for leather aging, bag construction, etc.

Our rifle building class is on the same day, same place, 8:30 am to 6pm. We have ten students building rifles based on one of Jacob Dickert's, starting with a blank and a Rice swamped barrel. Anybody is welcome to come and watch and learn, ask questions, just come and hang out if you like. All we ask is that we make sure the guys have room to work, it can get crowded in a hurry.

Thanks for the additional info. My wife and I will probably drive up unless driving conditions are poor.
