Take a look at page 7 of Smartdog's "Building an English Fowler" post below.

Here's a link to Smartdog's opus on building an English Fowler.

Hi Sydney,
I added a little extra section on shell carving in my English fowler building thread for which KY-Flinter provided a link above.

Come over and have another longer look at John Schipper's book Sydney.  There are several good examples within, and I know it'll inspire you.
By the way, I am emailing you that draft of the single set trigger assembly too.
