62 caliber Smooth Bore

(1/7) > >>

Mike Yancey:
Started on a new one for me this weekend. Its a 20 gauge smooth bore stocked in cherry. I cut and milled the wood off of a friends place in the mountains a few years ago and its finally dry and ready to work.




Got the barrel inlet and ready to put the breech plug back on and inlet it.








Here's one of the profile before I started inletting the barrel and after I got it all squared up.

Parnell:
I’m looking forward to seeing this.  Will it be a Fusil?

Mike Yancey:
No it will be in the Kentucky Fowler style. A basic smooth rifle.

Mike Yancey:


Barrel is inlet!



Finished the ramrod channel and thinned the front end down some. Ready to drill the forearm for the ramrod hole.

Parnell:
This will sound simple but I’m not familiar with that type of lamp.  What is it called?  What is it burning?

You have any sage advice on proper chisel sharpening?  Especially those curved ones...I need to improve my skills.
