wheel lock build on youtoube
« on: December 24, 2019, 03:16:40 AM »
I have been watching a series on youtube,where the man is building a wheel lock pistol. He made the lock parts using only a grinder,hacksaw,and files. He also built a pistol and Lancaster rifle on earlier vidieos. just thought I'd give him a plug since I know  all of you like these shows. His channel is homemade history. Merry Christmas.

There's talent, then there's TALENT.

My skill set peaked about 30 years ago and even then I would not have considered a
wheel lock even with the machine shop that I have.Talent plus TALENT as Daryl said
must be motivated by the desire to engage such a project.I did at one time consider
a matchlock or Luntenschloss as our German friends call it but it never came to
making one.
MERRY CHRISTMAS TO ALL ON THIS GREAT FORUM AND HOPING FOR THE BEST NEW
YEAR EVER FOR EVERYONE NO MATTER WHERE YOU LIVE.
