Parnell:
JW, you致e got my interest, for sure.
I知 realizing I知 getting pretty close. I carved the lock plate in for a couple hours last night. I知 going to bring it down a little more, but this is really my first honest run of carving and low and behold a couple of things clicked in my head with feeling how to remove wood with respect to the grain. I知 amazed at how single minded I am carving. A lot like flintknapping that way.
I have to do the touch hole. Other than that...it痴 finish work.
Parnell:
More inlet
Eric Krewson:
Try to avoid slab sidedness in front of you lock and sideplate panels. There shouldn't be any flat wood in your forestock sides.
Parnell:
Hmmm, ok, I値l work on that Eric.
Eric Krewson:
This is a fowler but it is the same on a trade gun, actually every flintlock is quite similar in shape.
