We did a video this way because sometimes it's nice to just watch someone work and not have to listen to them talk and talk and Jim gets tired of his own voice sometimes. We hope that it will feel like you can sit down on the couch with a cup of coffee and spend a little time to watch a Kibler Kit get put together. We don't touch every single step, but we get most of them and hope you will forgive that it's not perfect for instruction. Our goal for this was enjoyment rather than instruction.
This project was filmed in 2019 and got set aside because we got busy and it was easy to put a memory card in a drawer and forget about it. It was a beautiful setting at the Shawshank Museum in Upper Sandusky Ohio, where Katherine is from. Her dad was an extra in the movie courtroom scene when it was filmed in 1994 as Tim Robbins' lawyer. The woodshop/museum made a beautiful backdrop for this project that we thought our viewers might like to see. You will notice the cardboard cutouts of some of the characters sprinkled in the background!

I don’t think most people realize the superb craftsmanship, patience and attention to detail this man exhibits. This is why AMERICAN CRAFTSMANSHIP was once the pinnacle of excellence
Every country has craftsmen equally skilful but perhaps in different areas ….let’s not get xenophobic here….😊
@@simonkearns671 xenophobic? Taking pride in American workmanship and what was once the best in the world is not xenophobic, it’s patriotic. The same patriotic workmanship and work ethic that won WWII. Did I make a disparaging remark about any foreign country? No, therefore it’s not xenophobic
Yet he fails to clock screw heads! Yes I know it’s a small detail but it what truly separates excellence from meh another gun!
Racism, at it's best...
@@yannikoloff7659 not that you would understand this but America is not a race, it’s a country. It’s you libtards who label anyone who disagrees as racist.
Final polish with his t-shirt…..definitely my kind of guy! Awesome job. I think I found my next project after watching this!
Jim Kibler, the man is a master in his craft and does the finishing touches with his t-shirt, hahaha I love this video, another masterpiece, I CANT WAIT to get my first Kibler kit... saving up for it because I'm a blue collar guy and not a lot of extra money these days... Jim Kibler, if you ever read this, Keep up the great work Sir! And thank you for sharing your craft!
I, too, was laughing at the use of the tee shirt!
I would love, one of these days, to see how his CNC machines so finally carve those stocks in such detail. After making so very many rifles by hand, I was well aware of the steps to inlet the various parts and pieces - then I got my Woodsrunner kit and was amazed at how accurately Jim's machines did the same job I had done - in a whole lot less time.
Thank you so much! Your kind words and support are greatly appreciated!
Exceptional workmanship. Nothing fancy just a good clean design built for performance.
I could watch this build for hours ... what a gorgeous rifle 😎👍
Thanks!
A work of art! Really beautiful.
That is a perfection, nothing more...Congratulations!!!!
Beautiful workmanship and attention to detail.
What a beautiful expression of craftsmanship! The artisan knows his craft.
Thank you for posting!
It was enchanting. I have wanted a rifle just like that since elementary school, but something has always kept me from it.
Beautiful, awesome craftsmanship.
That's how you do it ... the right way !
Had a few tokes, stumbled onto your video and thought ... what the heck, I sat back and watched a very skillful Crraftsman.
Excellent work !
Absolutely beautiful!!
Life Is Good ! Enjoyed this video so much, Absolutely stunning rifle by a skilled hands, Excellent work.
Thanks
Absolutely amazing. I hope you be proud
Wow, just totally mesmerising... The effort, precision and obvious passion was quite enough to keep me enthralled
But the outcome!! Oh dear lord, that is incredibly beautiful. Well done, it's amazing, and thanks for posting this :)
the vibes in this workshop are amazing. the outside occasional noise the lights and woodwork around the place just beautiful
Thank you so much! We like it!
@@kiblerjim HI Jim, how do you cut the lines in the cheek piece? I've your SMR kit coming and I really like that look.
Gorgeous! I made a Hawken replica (.54 caliber) from a Uberti kit about 40 years ago. Not nearly as pretty as this flintlock, it's percussion ignition, and has fine, but straight-grained, Walnut. The figure on the Maple in this one is beautiful, and watching the video took me back to the painstaking work involved in building my own.
a true craftsman. He does a great job and knows exactly what he is doing . Hats off !
Thank you very much!
Amazing craftsmanship, would love to own a piece like that. Thank you for sharing.
thank you for watching.
When a guy uses his t-shirt ( that he's wearing ) to finish detail his project you know he loves what he does. Excellent craftsmanship.

😊😊 😂😊
Simply beautiful
Enjoyed the format of the video. All the steps were shown very well. Amazing what a nice look you can get out of that little kit.
Thanks for wathcing. I'm glad to hear you enjoyed it!
Beautiful work!
The mark of a true Craftsman........Tongue!!!! Sorry couldn`t help it. Like everyone else, could watch this all day. Can`t wait to get me one too!! Hope i can do half this good!
Great job Jim, that's a nice looking rifle!
Thanks
That was just beautiful...
Beautiful rifle and workmanship.
Thanks!
Very few true craftsman left in this country but this is top of the mark! Outstanding work. Thanks for posting
you're correct to a point....check out the national Muzzleloader associations clubs etc....you'll be amazed
thank you very much!
That is some beautifully precise inletting!
Wowza! That rifle is stunning!
Thank you!
👍🏻👍🏻such a beautiful peace of art and craftsmanship 👍🏻👍🏻❤️
Beautiful!
What a Beautiful Rifle... Thank you for sharing your Craftsmanship with us to marvel over~!
I'm glad you enjoyed. Thanks for watching!
Incredible craftsmanship!
Thank you!
Glad im not the only one who makes funny faces when im concentrated on my work
That " 'don't disturb me, I'm thinking' tongue sticking out" thing is universal- even other apes do it!
Great video. Thanks for not putting horrible music behind it. I was surprised to see the use of a standard wedge-tip screwdriver rather than a quality hollow-ground one. I guess quality screws can take it!
That's one beautiful boom-stick ! Excellent craftsmanship.
Thank you!
Awesome creation 👍👍👍
That is nothing but exquisite!
That is my dream flintlock. What a beautiful gun.
thanks!
@@kiblerjim yeah man I love to give compliments when they are deserved. And you have a god given talent my friend. Just amazing.
What a gorgeous piece of art.
Thank you!
Love these videos
A work of art!
Amazing work... 👍
I am a guitar maker and a gun collector. I think it's time I become a gun maker. The two crafts are very much alike. The marriage of wood and metal holds a special place in my heart. With the current attack on the second amendment the flintlock rifle is about to get a second chance to preserve our rights.
I "AGREE"! I'm a millwright, electrician, carpenter, glazier, teamster, pipefitter, fabricator, Father, I agree! Built my 1st 1858 revolver kit from raw to blued at age 12/13 in 77. Looks Peaceful, fulfilling, Historical, and Profitable?
@@davefellhoelter1343 Satisfying.
And they both make music
@@carjensen I don't know which I love more, a great guitar solo or the sound of my .357 revolver breaking the sound barrier.
That is beautiful. Resl work of art!!
Beautiful wood.
Perfect job, thank you.
thank you!
Una obra de arte.
Saludos desde Cantabria. 🇪🇸
En efecto.
Can't wait for mine to arrive
I wish I had half your skill. Beautiful flintlock.
I admire your work and your workshop... wonderful.. greetings from Austria
Thanks so much!
i love this rifle very nice worked beautiful
Awesome 👏 😎. Nice work Jim!
Thank you!
What a beautiful firearm, a true work of art.
thanks!
Very nice. Good job.
I see he has mastered the ‘tongue between the teeth’ when concentrating. Great video.
I noticed that. I do that too.
It's a sign of genius
It’s the same face he makes when he plays Nintendo
I noticed straight away too 😂
The mark of a master craftsman! 👍🇺🇸
Awesome job
its a true pleasure watching you work wish you were my neighbor
Thanks!
I love that rifle!
I'm not a gun guy, but this video was awe inspiring! Really enjoyed that. Thankyou
I love your comment and I believe if you're not a gun guy...that if you bought a less expensive muzzle loader kit...the experience with the wood and steel will take you back in time...and even if you don't shoot it you'll find yourself staring at it on your wall or above your fireplace. That's how I got started over 30 years ago...just sheer admiration
I'd love to work there! Or I just love the old brick building as a shop... Beautiful craftsmanship
Outstanding.
Just the project to get through another pandemic or winter shut in!
enjoy!
Loved it!!
Thanks
I grew up around guns like that watching people build and shoot them. Even back then those custom rifle makers were getting several hundred or even thousands of dollars for a nice rifle. Trust me kit rifles didn’t look nearly as good as this does back in the day. The Lyman’s were pretty nice but for a kit rifle this one definitely has the look.
Thank you!
“That’s neat”? Ha! That’s one of the most elegant firearms I’ve ever laid eyes on!
Thanks!
Yep beautiful
Those are the sort of dimentions I associate with the classic American Long Rifle! 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Very good work
Man I would like one of those that was pretty you did a very good job on that
Great job
That's fantastic
Sir you are not a gunsmith you are a Artist i enjoyed your work
I know this is two years ago but you probably won't even read it. When you first put the stain on that wood I almost puked because it was such a beautiful piece of wood and now that you've finished it, it is gorgeous. I would love to be able to afford one of those guns even if I put it together myself but it's all I can do to hold up my Hawken Flintlock. No matter how much I work out and try to build my muscles up to hold it, it just doesn't work. I guess the older you get the harder it is to build your muscles back up. By the way I'm 72 and still shooting black powder, I love it.
Glad to hear you enjoyed the video and that you enjoy shooting black powder! We appreciate your support!
Magnifique Travail MERCI
My uncle use to make these from scratch before he passed away he made many types the coolest where the dueling pistols with interchangeable barrels. He was a quadriplegic to add was so damn talented. Miss him.
Did you mean paraplegic? Quadriplegic is paralysis of all for limbs…
Yes I do sir he was very talented his hands where stuck as fists he taped tools in them.
@@emilflognoid1532 no he was a quad he taped tools in his hands he built all kinds of things a 1/4 scale 34 Ford with a real v8 too.
"Good enough I guess" understatement of the year ;)
Wow that's a piece of art my man !!
Thank you very much!
Love the silence. What an amazing product. Can have it done and stained in one day. Sold.
What an amazing sight. Just ordered this rifle and cant wait. I did a ton of research and this will replicate an original I own. Wish it were offered in percussion like an original (I believe) rifle you have pictured on your website. When I first saw the photo I actually did a double take as my percussion looks almost exactly the same.
I'll be recreating a piece of family history.
Thanks for making these and the informative videos.
Thank you for your business and support!
so magnificient
Beautiful gun
Hermosa escopeta como para ir de caza excelente 🤗👍🇨🇴🇨🇴
Great, no words about!!!👍
Many thanks!
Excellent!
Thanks!
Beautiful riffle
Thank you!
Good grief that is incredible!
Thank you!
There is no mistaking the sound a sharp chisel makes on Maple.
Wow ... but WOW !!!
Cant wait to start my rifle. Dont rush getting kit to me. Quality control is best i can wait.
Peter, I’m in the same boat as you my friend, about another month and a half for me. I’m waiting on a SMR in .32 cal.
I’m VERY excited about Jim’s new barrels....
Excellent work. Wanted to see it fire
There is another longer version of the video that CZcams restricted that shows shooting
I own a custom made Bedford county rifle but I personally would love to own a rifle with that type of stock. I think that is a lehigh type. Graceful curves.
Verry nice rifle, Well done.
Thank you!
Super Nice.
Beautiful gun, and some color case hardening would be a great additional touch that would grab alot of attention!!!
very nice . . thanks
FINE ART
I've been thinking of building a flint lock rifle. Ive seen adds in magazines for the kits. Doubt I'll actually get one but might be something to do down the road.
I think you should
Nice shop...I’m very jealous.
I loved it! Really. however, if You like this you should LOVE the videos put out by Purdy and Holland & Holland... Well worth watching...the advanced art of complete hand making of shotguns. I have a Mossberg pump.
