It's hard to pick one thing that I like the most... :) You have me interested in checkering now, but I think the grip and tips really show how much emphasis you put into details. Super Dave was amazing to watch, and you deserve the name as well. :OK

Very nice of you to say bob. Thanks. I think I’ll post more mini build alongs. I learn from these builds so I may as well bring others along too. We learn together.

I am interested in those goggles, brother. These 60 yr old eyes are wearing out and I think I would like to try a pair of those!
Checkering is on my list of skills to learn for my next flintlock. Got recommendation on a book on that subject?

Thanks JW! I was a huge super Dave Osborne fan back in the day hence the name. They don’t make ‘em like that anymore that’s for sure.
As for these goggles I got them from a friend of mine whose son is a dentist. This is an older pair but they work alright. I think I’d prefer to get led light magnifying goggles though. I had to use a lamp to get more light for the details. Here’s a pair I will be ordering soon I think to try off Amazon. They are cheap and might be worth the risk of buying something cheap at first to try it out. They have decent reviews so I may just pull the trigger on a set.

I just got mine in mail today. They were a late Christmas gift from my boys! These are way better then mine. Wider field of vision and more comfortable to wear. I love mine.

Those do look like something that I need...then a set of checkering tools. :OK They don't give those tools away... (A)
