I'm usually pretty immune to covetousness, envy and all that sort of green-eyed monster stuff. But every time I see that monster old Tannewitz bandsaw in action, I fall to pieces. I want one like it SO bad - even though I have no idea how I'd even make room for one in my shop. 😵💫
Now you know why some of restore them old machines! That tiny bandsaw sailed thru 3 inch plus maple like a razor thru paper! I day tiny because we almost bid on some 42 or 48 inch Tannys at the Drexel auction. Thanks for the video and thanks for putting the old girl back to work. What be nice is to see the whole process!
That is wonderful having the equipment to work the wood. Back in 1977 I bought 1200 feet of curly maple to use as paneling in my log home. They are getting darker with age and still people love to look at the wood interior walls. All my wood was hand worked other than a electric handsaw. CNC was not a option for final shaping!
Reminds me of my days at Harmonson Stair Company...anyway, man I would love to grab some of those CM cut-offs. You do amazing work at Kibler Longrifles.
Friend & I once made a rifle from a plank of cherry he got from another friend's sawmill. It had checks & knots all through it. But the gun making gods smiled upon us & we managed to snake the pattern through, missing all the defects.
Hey Jim, I see the young fellow cutting the planks out. And you have some end bits, have you thought about making a pistol. I know its not much timber but you could make a series or one type of single shot flintlock pistol. Just a thought. Hate seeing waste.
I really enjoy the videos of your process for making these long rifles and the locks. I've enjoyed watching your assemble videos and found them very helpful. Was the last stock of lumber a walnut you cut that needed to dry more before it could be cut into a stock? Gorgeous looking wood all of it but I kind of like that darker color wood with the grain. I enjoy flintlock hunting and just the guns in general I'm working on a kit know but I'll be looking into one of your kits soon after this one is done. Also do you sell any of the scrap pieces? I thought about taking an old lock and barrel I have and making a pistol. Thanks and keep up the great work guys!
parabens pelo belo trabalho que voce faz....resgate dos antepassados....parabens!!! obs: que madeira voce esta usando ai!!!...nao me parece madeira dura!
Thanks for the nice video. Realy good equipment especialy the huge bandsaw. What are you doing with the cutofs? that will be perfect for tomahawk handles or some realy fancy shortstarters ;-)
We sell some of the scraps to a retailer for tomahawk handles, knife handles etc. but have more that ends up just being burnt! I know, it's a shame, but we can't be pushed out of the shop by wood scraps.
@@kiblerjim I know that wood scrap problem ....for me it is caused by the problem that I can not scrap nice wood :-)) at the moment I am working on a wheellock for a pistol. It dont produce so much scrap.
That bandsaw is a beast! Question...I noticed that on some of the boards you laid out your pattern on the bias. Is that to get better grain flow through those wonderfully skinny wrists, or simply to optimize the number of stocks per board?
We don't right now. The ideal pistol blank has grain that curves down the grip. Most of our wood is straight grain. It could still be used, but there's not too much demand for pistol blanks. Might have to cut a few out, though.
@@kiblerjim You could discover (for your apparent abundant scrap) the value of AK 47 style stocks, revolver stocks, any type of wood semi pistol stocks, etc. all oriented in the same grain direction you appear to be cutting it. I would be happy to send you examples or even have the ability to purchase. Possibly some other rifle stocks depending on the size and width of the piece. The long rifles are great but appear to require larger and longer lengths of the must be expensive rock and roll guitar wood.
I am down a rabbit hole. Didnt think i need a muzzle loader but here i am, concocking how im gonna get one...
Awesome awesome videos
Jim and Lorie Kibler...national treasures! Keeping tradition alive! Really looking forward to receiving my Colonial Rifle kit!
Thank you so much! You won't be disappointed!

Thank you all for the effort involved in producing these videos. Neat stuff!
I'm glad you enjoy them--thanks for the nice comment.
11:51 someone is going to be very lucky to get that stock beautiful curly maple
Beautiful thanks for sharing
Thanks!
That bandsaw though 😲 cutting through hard curly maple like butter.

Well worth a watch on a frosty morning in New Zealand.
Love to see the process.
Thinking of frost made me smile. It's about 85 F here right now! Glad you enjoyed.
That is some beautiful wood !!! It should make some really fantastic rifles !!!!
Nice saw. Great looking wood
Thanks 👍

That is a real nice saw. Could probably make canes and such with the long maple cut offs.
ramrods?
I enjoyed that , thank's.

It always feels good when your able to work around the defects. Sometimes more show up during the shaping though.
@@kiblerjim True. I think we were just darned lucky.
Any plans for pistols? Looks like an awful lot of pistol sized leftovers.

That's one whopper of a bandsaw!
Wow that band saw is impressive! They dont build em' like that anymore! How many feet per minute is that blade moving?
Is a crown cut board give you better grain pattern than a quarter sawn board or vice versa?? Hugo from N. Ireland.

Maybe you could donate to school shop classes if they paid shipping
That bandsaw is a beast! Question...I noticed that on some of the boards you laid out your pattern on the bias. Is that to get better grain flow through those wonderfully skinny wrists, or simply to optimize the number of stocks per board?
Yes, its for optimal grain flow through the wrist
Good eyes. Yes, we try to get better grain flow through the wrist. This is standard practice in the muzzleloading world.
Looks to me like some of the scrap pieces could be put to better use,
I cringed watching the scraps get cut short. I would pay for pieces of wood like that.
Hello, what kind of wood is used?
Do you use some of the waste for pistol blanks?
We don't right now. The ideal pistol blank has grain that curves down the grip. Most of our wood is straight grain. It could still be used, but there's not too much demand for pistol blanks. Might have to cut a few out, though.
@@kiblerjim well I could be wrong but a pistol kit might be a seller for you. Thanks
