Post by: Pratt on July 14, 2008, 03:49:12 AM

Log Cabin Sport Shop
Flintlock Gunsmithing Classes

 Saturday 8/23/08, 12:00 – 4:00 PM:  Log Cabin Sport Shop will be offering Ian Pratt and Jim Kibler’s class for the month of August.
   For this class we have re-scheduled Jim’s talk / demonstration on tool sharpening techniques. This basic yet very important aspect of rifle building is often a challenge for beginners, and properly sharpened tools are needed to do your best work. There will also be demonstrations on several longrifle construction techniques.
  At this class will also be discussing our plans for the upcoming “hands on” building class and will help those who are interested in getting a parts list started
     There is no charge to attend.  Once again, we encourage students to bring in any current projects, finished pieces, or other related items of interest.

_______________________________________________________________

  We also invite you to attend our first event this September 27 -28 at the Log Cabin Shop. New and antique guns and accoutrements on display, demonstrations, shooting, buy, sell, trade, everything you ever imagined and possibly more - We will have more details posted here soon, or check the Log Cabin Shop website under "events" for information. This ought to be fun, let's see what we can make happen.

I can't understand why anyone who lives within reasonable driving distance wouldn't be there! The opportunity to learn from a very talented builder is priceless. I only wished that it was several hundred miles closer to south Texas!

Ian:
Have you made a decision on what style of rifle you want to build in the hands on class?

Dan -  Jim and I both plan to do some demonstrations, neither one of us really has guns to diplay - Of course that's where Rich's barrel enters the picture, thank you Rich, I will be making myself a deer rifle with that one and chain it to my leg so nobody can buy it from me..

 Bill, we are thinking along the lines of an earlier Lancaster gun.  The class will be geared to beginners, we'll start with a blank and some parts, probably show you how to make some pieces too. The idea here is to learn how to make a basic good looking rifle that will function as it should.. We'll get to the details at the August class.
