Great video, Bill! You really make the importance of prepping everything before starting the drilling or tapping.

Missed my "Saturday Morning With Bill" - this danged Agent Orange crapola sometimes precludes everything else. So changed it to "Sunday Morning..."

On the fit of the lockplate - do you think the forward bolt will help draw the plate closer to the barrel? It just seems to be drawn inward at the rear, tilting it back a wee bit. Probably the forward bolt will even things out a bit.

Loving all the "intros"!

No forward lock bolt on this gun. Just the single lock bolt. But not to worry, it all turns out good. The real pain comes with making the rear sight. I should be able to get that all worked out eventually.

Agent Orange sounds like some nasty stuff. I work with some pretty nasty chemicals also. HAZMAT suits are not very comfortable on hot days but wear it anyway.

My week is now complete, Bill! Another great Saturday morning "cartoon" really helps out this house-bound old fogey.

I had been wondering how you were going to inlet that curved trigger plate; turned out it wasn't too difficult at all.

Coming along nicely, going to be a great Schuetzen Rifle.

That inletting that trigger plate got pretty awkward with that curve in the stock. The real fun comes when I figure out the trigger plate doesn't fit in the trigger guard. Then comes the rear sight. Yikes! This gun is going to turn into a real challenge.

Hey Bill - they make a new tool now, oh, maybe 200 years ago or something. It's called a center punch. Nifty little thing, with a very sharp point of carbide steel or sumtin very hard. You can put that sharp little point right on a piece of steel, tap it with a hammer, and have a very precise divot right exactly where you want to start a drill bit.

Some of these "center punches" are even spring-loaded - just put the tip on the selected spot and push the tool downward. Makes a nifty pinprick right on the selected spot.

Any of you readers who has a law enforcement officer for a friend, give them a spring-loaded center punch. Fits easily in their pocket, and is just the ticket for opening a car window to allow access to a reluctant perpetrator who doesn't want to be friendly. Much easier than beating on the glass with your hand or baton. Carried one for years, even though I only had to use it twice.

As mentioned before, really enjoy your videos; keep them coming!

I like the center drill better.
