Say, any of you boys smithies? Or, if not smithies per se, were you otherwise trained in the metallurgic arts before straitened circumstances forced you into a life of aimless wanderin'?

Real nice Mike. I'm loving the look of these short British rifles more and more.

Great finish on this one.

Question- How do you punch those little round "holes" into the diamonds on the wrist? Is it just a round dent, or are you removing some wood?

Thanks for the pics.
