In this video, Mike helps a student inlet a set trigger into his Kibler Colonial Kit, Wayne assists a student in pouring a pewter nose cap in his Southern Mountain Rifle, and the students learn how to repair accidental damage in the building process.

That was a good clean pour.  I had to file for 4 hours before I saw wood on mine.  You guys need a t.v. show.

I did not know the NMLRA had a YouTube channel, but I'm a subscriber now. Very entertaining and nice to put a face and voice to guys whose posts I have been reading for years. Lot of private videos on the channel. I'd like to see them all.

I am sitting hear in the Ed Building at Friendship as I type this.   Am I too late for the last class and too early for the next one?

I surprised that I had any whiskey left in my cabin.  You can never be to careful with snakes.

Threr's always another class just around the corner. The next  Kibler kit class  is in March, right after the 1st annual Artisian's show in the Education building. Sometime this summer we'll be doing a five day  "from the plank" class.

I should have looked harder for the whiskey.... ;)

We were way too tired at the end of the work day to delve into that stuff.

I already knew Mike Brooks was a true craftsman by the guns he builds, but it was confirmed when he brought out the electrical tape!

Same! After filming, I went home and ordered a kit. Hoping to start before the next class so I can make a mess and ask for help next time I see Mike and Wayne  ;D
