I just found multiple videos on youtube under Colonial Gunsmith. Some good footage if you don't have any of the videos already(Wallace Gussler)
    also
If you don't have the book -The Gunsmith in Colonial Virginia, you can find alinks to buy it here or eread for $8... http://books.google.com/books/about/The_Gunsmith_in_Colonial_Virginia.html?id=V7WtToEDvYsC

The book has some interesting information as does Gussler's video

Most of it is commissioned--sold before it was ever started.

Since the staff was cut as part of the relocation of the Gunshop to the Geddy site a few years ago production has been fairly limited ---- even more than before. The work has been sold on commission since the shop opened over 40 years ago.

Art is not an object.  It is the excitement inspired by the object.
