Pistol template
« on: April 06, 2022, 03:07:09 PM »
Need a template for a Kentucky pistol. Bought a very nice blank from Tom Fornicola (Thanks Tom) and want to be sure it's right before it goes on the handsaw. My first blank build.😳
In hopes it will turn out to be a nice .45 cal. pistol.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I would suggest making a scale drawing using all of your components for the build. Draw and redraw to your satisfaction. Then show it here for tweaking before cutting any wood. This what I do for every gun i make many others do the same. Good luck with your pistol project.
