Shaping up rather nicely!  Liked the music on intro.

This Agent Orange $#@* is ruining my body.  Going to be 80 a week from today; about to give away all my tools n stuff, just cannot work at the bench anymore.  Hard to walk, cook, clean, etc.  You can come with a pickup, SUV, small trailer, etc., lathe, mill, dust collector, rasps, files, chisels, carving stuff, etc.  NW Ohio is not that far.
I'll even give you a Chocolate Lab!

I have a good book on The AMERICAN Schuetzen rifles with fine color pictures.I have a precarved stock and can make a lock and trigger and it's inlet for a one inch ATF barrel but for a bullet,not a ball and 32 to 38 caliber.One if the caps I wear has a Western New York Schuetzen Society badge on it that was given to me by barrel maker Ken Bresien in Warsaw,NY in the 1980's.After the start of WW1 it seems all things German were considered as contaminated and WW2 helped nothing either.I'd like to see a revival of the 200 meter offhand matches with these rifles but new ones would have to be made.
