My first scratch build - FINISHED

[woody]

Started making the ramrod pipes and made and soldered the barrel lug today.

Today's progress. Inlet and pinned the ramrod pipes, pinned the barrel, drilled, tapped and installed the lock plate, rolled the tip and installed the trigger. I'll start making the trigger guard next trip.

Looking good Woody!! I really like that entry thimble. The rate your going you will have this one finished and started on something else this time next month.

Well....I've got to admit.....I'm already tinkering with another project.

Looking good!

Got my trigger guard made and inlaid this afternoon. I'll be getting up enough nerve to stat the serious stock shaping next.

I'm building a semi custom GRP rifle. I made a deal with Mongrel for the parts from a GPR kit rebuild project, a used Investment Arms flintlock and a Numrich Arms 45 cal bbl. I've inlet the lock into the former percussion stock fitted the barrel ramrod under lug so far. I also took the section of cut off barrel and had it turned to a 1/2 round barrel and breached for a future pistol build.

Looks like another poor soul has been bitten. 

Woody, your pistol is coming along very nicely. Can't wait to see that stock take shape.

Very nice work all the way around.

I don't know about the other builders here, but I feel sometimes like a contagious disease.... People hang out around us for any length of time and the next thing you know, there's sawdust and wood chips flying.

Ain't it great?

I figured with all the great guns and builds you guys keep posting, and me wanting everything I see....might as well try my hand at building a few...and yes....it is addictive! .....BTW...I forgot to mention that I also have another pistol barrel (32 cal.) and a octagon to round rifle barrel to add to the future project list...thanks guys

[woody]

Started the rough shaping. I'll be moving much slower from this this point......

[Hanshi]

I have to say it's great work.  I remain, yours truly, envious.
