Cool, thanks. I've never used it before. Was hoping that your rifle wasn't going to end up being black and pink! Keep up the good work. I'm going to start mine next week after I get my bench moved in the barn.
I haven't put a ramrod in it yet, but I don't expect any problems. I find that as long as I inlet the pinning tenon on the thimble nice and straight, it controls the orientation of the whole pipe. I've never had a problem.

I've really been enjoying this series. Thanks for taking the time to make them. I just ordered my first kit from Pecatonica River. I have a question about all the inletting black. Are you worried at all about it leaving spots on the stock when it's finished, or is there just soo much wood to be removed that it's not going to be a problem? Thanks!
Only the minutest amount of inletting black is needed, almost just a dry film on the piece. Too much and you get squish out and not a true contact point. You actually have enough inletting black on the entry pipe to have done your whole project. Just a tip, rifle is coming along nicely.
was the ramrod channel predrilled? i could really use some tips on how to drill that, ive used a simple drill before which i laid on its side and very carefully had to let it move forward.
Does the ramrod not come into play any time in the inletting process? How do you ensure that the thimbles aren't tilted too far front/back in relationship to each other to allow the ramrod to enter? Or is there enough flex in the rod to allow for that?
That's removing way too much wood where the black inlet marks show. Remove only the marks and you will get a more perfect fit. But you got a good tight fit anyway.
WHAT IS A TOW flintlock kit,about how much dose it cost, is it rifled or smooth bore, flint lock or percussion, and how much will the redcoats charge you for bullets? heres the best inletting tool, golf shafts, choose the step that's the right diameter, cut it with a friction saw ,cut it to length, sand the tip at angle about an inch back,sharpen it razor sharp on a belt sander, shaft are free from dumpsters at golf companys, their hard steel

Präzise Arbeit und gute Darstellung der Arbeitsschritte! Vielen Dank!
That was a very good tip about making the thimbles for placement and front to rear orientation.

That particular chisel came sharpened on both sides. It is part of a set that I've had for 30 years.
It is made in the style of the guns made in Bucks County, which is a variant of the Lehigh County school.

duelist1954 what ever happened to this series? I just binge watched this and it seems to end here.
Disregard. Found them.
Sharpening more often is better. It is much easier to hone the edge on a chisel or knife before it gets really dull.

I have never found it to be a problem. It doesn't penetrate deeply, an it just comes off with the rasping and sanding.

Jerry Fisher scrapers are your friend!

Yes. It was drilled.

is the original one made in bucks county pa?

Oops, as I watch the latest video and see that it never shows up in my sub box, sorry about that
