Slow Progress

[flehto]

My slow progress isn't due to starting again after an extended hiatus, but because of my failing eyesight.....not complaining at all, just realizing that what took me formerly an hour to do, now requires 3 hrs. A simple project like a Mcap bears this out....filing the octagon flats took awhile. Of course the thought did strike me that the extended time is probably a good thing, although I have in mind a Lancaster for the next LR.

Shown are some up to date pics of the Bucks County LR. Redid the combline a wee bit, didn't look quite right, inletted the Mcap, cut in a border around the TG and terminated the upper forestock moldings. Not much......Fred

Good job and I sure can understand the frustration. My new build after 45 yrs I didn’t realize how much I forgot. All I can say is god bless this group .dan

Fred,
that is looking really nice.  I always enjoy seeing your work, especially how slim you get the lock area and wrist.  I know you are very careful with the web thickness etc to do this.  The results are obvious. 

Glad you are continuing to build despite the eye trouble. 

Cheers,
Norm
