Pictures from the NMLRA Gunsmithing Seminar - very picture heavy
« on: July 09, 2015, 03:15:07 PM »
I've had too many irons in the fire and am a month late in posting photos of this June's seminar.  I was only present for three days this year so there are many classes not represented.  If anyone has photos to contribute to the thread please feel free to add them!  I took Mark Silver's wire inlay class this year, it was a great class and I learned a great deal in a very short period of time.

I got some great photos of Hank's tumbler mill as well and will add them to the original tumbler mill thread when I get a chance.

Now for some photos!































































































































Thanks for looking!

Thanks Curtis for posting your photos.  It's always fun to see everybody.  This was my 23 year attending and still find things to learn and people to meet.   Hank

Ok crazy question. But how does one find out about these classes. Also the Woodbury School . AM very new to the forum. So any advice would be most appreciated. Thank you

The seminar is put on by the National Muzzleloading Rifle Association (NMLRA). Go to their website for more info on joining.  The classes are usually announced in a late fall issue of the magazine you receive as a member. One of the classes is at the House's in Woodbury, forging mounts and building rifles. I don't know if they offer other classes there. I highly recommend attending any classes at the seminar. I've been the past four years and wish I had  started 20 years ago.

Oldtraveler,

Coopersdad is correct, the MNLRA posts information on their website, usually in the late fall.  I always try to post information on the classes here when they are decided upon and announced, if someone else hasn't posted it.  If you send me your email address I will try to remember to mail you a flyer.  Depending on who is at the CLA show I may get some early information on the classes, and can pass it on to you if I do.
