Some practice in steel

DAK4442 · Mar 20, 2015

I've been working exclusively with Sterling this past year and actually away from by shop for the past two months. I have two flintlock projects fast approaching so I thought I'd better start warming up on some harder stuff. As always, any tips, pointers or critiques welcome. Dan

Thanks Jeff, I got some unexpected practice sharpening graver points too. I don't snap too many cutting silver...

Thank you very much...I actually had s lot of fun tinkering with them. My only issue is that I think I might have tried tapering my shade lines a bit more?

what style rifles you building? I just finished an early Lancaster in .50 , woodsrunner (plain)

I've done several "Border Style Bedford" rifles with a few misc pieces. Not a major builder at all, just a piece now and again...
