This is so helpful Bill. Thanks. It will be interesting to watch how the door latching mechanism is done.

Hi Bill,

Is the punch you use to move metal in your latest video something you made, or is it something that can be purchased? I’ve not seen one with a rectangular shaped end before. 

Thanks,
Jay

Make it from a hardened steel rod and a grinding wheel.

Hi Bill,
Watching part 79. Possible a stupid question, but how do you hold onto that rear sight when filing and polishing and getting rid of the casting gate? Trying to file the gate off while holding it by hand is doable, but it can be a pain. And the shape of the part makes me worried that a vise might hurt the shape of the dovetail.

Thanks,
Jay

   I think I held that with pliers against the bench pin. That is that piece of wood sticking out of the front of the workbench with a notch cut in it. I do that for filing most of the parts. I hardly ever use the vise for filing.

Here’s one way to hold sights. Works for front or rear.
