Gunmakers' Workshop

[Ian Pratt]

 Ken Gahagan and I teach a pair of week long gun building classes in January at Canter's Cave in Jackson, Ohio. We've had two cancellations and can take a couple newcomers. More information is available on the Southern Ohio Artisan Workshops website - https://www.southernohioartisanworkshops.com/

We have a good variety of suggested projects to choose from. Students start with a barrel inlet in a blank and a suitable lock. Additional parts may either be purchased beforehand or made in class depending on each participant's plans.




A few shots from previous years -  we cover a lot of gun building in a short time! With multiple projects being worked on and each in a different stage of completion, students get to see and learn about a wide variety of techniques.














More photos and information on the website. I am happy to answer any questions here or you can send me a message.

How much does it cost to come and just torment the instructors?

[Robert Wolfe]

Can't answer Mike's question but I took the opportunity to work with Ken and Ian twice and am heading back a third time. Two amazing talents. I highly recommend it.

....and bringing it back up one more time .... the person who had taken the spot in week one has had to cancel already. Please contact me if interested, or send us an info request through the website -   https://www.southernohioartisanworkshops.com/request-information.html 

For some reason I no longer get email notifications when people PM me here on ALR, so if you contact me by message I may not respond right away
