Wrist and Lock Shaping question
« on: July 23, 2019, 09:53:50 PM »
Guys,

I was reviewing the Dixons schedule for this year and saw a class to be given by Dave Person called Wrist and Lock Shaping.  When I saw it, I thought, man, I could totally use that class.  I cannot attend Dixons for a variety of reasons, but does anyone know of a great video that addresses this topic?
Thanks.

Ez,
It's simple, just remove everything that does not look like a gunstock.  ;)  You really need to see about coming over to the wet side of the mountains August 15 thru August 18 and attend the Washington Historical Gunmakers Fair.  Probably the closest event in your neck of the woods, assuming you still live where you did the last time we met up.  We have Eric Von aschwege teaching a 2 day carving class plus a bit of local talent will be on hand.  If interested, I can email you the event schedule.  Nothing like face to face to learn.  You are welcome to attend all or any part of the weekend.

You know we are neighbors. I live in Kennewick. We should get together some time and compare notes. I have a couple castings from originals that have some decent architecture. If you have not been to the Washington historical gun-makers guild fair you are missing a great time. I have gone several times and was never disappointed.
