Excellent tutorial!

I have a Kentucky rifle with a maple stock that Dixie gun works estimated was made completly by hand barrel, stock, lock and all between 1830 to 1860. I appreciated the amount of work they put into it, but after watching you, i appreciate their work even more. Your work is outstanding.

Hey there. Do you by chance have discord? I need help making a flintlock.

Awesome.

Fine work!

Damn man you well and truly know what you're doing you have me feeling i can actually tackle a project like this.

I this is awesome how you showed the entire process and didn’t say a word. Very talented.

Don’t forget to like and share

This is awesome bro.

Josh your videos are way more helpfull than you think. This is a very good video on proper striking and hammer placement to achieve the shape of a knife . Badass brother

Thank you Josh for more videos I love it man.

If y’all don’t care share these videos . Josh does amazing work and if we share these hopefully he will see how much we like them and he will do more builds. I know we all love his videos

Excellent work Josh! Good to see you showing your work - you are very talented. Sharek

Nice blade Compadre. I really enjoyed watching you forge it, and I’m looking forward to the second part. TC

Great vid sir! Your work is lovely. Got my sub. 👍

I am building a muzzleloader for SDI and your channel is much appreciated. Thank you

"Whatever we do in life we have to start with a hole" Spot on advice, if the ramrod hole, which is mostly inviable, is drilled in first we can find it's location with probe holes, then lay out the other architecture from that location, everything on the rifle relates to the ramrod hole, so it is essentially the first thing we should do, but I have never heard of anyone else say that. Stay safe! Chris B.

Well this is a surprise! Seeing such excellent advice on youtube. If all builders watch this tutorial there would be far more properly built flintlocks out there, the only thing I would add is that it is far better to use a sooty lamp to find your touch down high spots, the blunty marker dries far too quickly in normal room temperatures, and using the soot lamp it is easy to re soot every time you fit up. I also find it easier to get a snug fit by filing a few degree draft on the inlet portion of the lock plate, it goes in and out much easier that way. I look forward to viewing more of your videos. Chris B.

Your a great instructor!

Your videos on inletting the major parts are the best I've seen yet. Yours is probably the 15th set of vids I've watched on the subject. Ive read recreating the American longrifle a couple times also. You have filled in some of the missing bits of info and i really feel like i know enough to try my first stock from scratch. I appreciate the details you share and how you emphasize test, shave, test, shave over and over. I'm always amazed that nobody uses hand planes for roughing in the barrel. I have a stanley 45 and a wooden plow, maybe I'll try and find out why.

Stupid video

Thanks!

Beautiful work!

Beautiful job great lesson! Thank you very much for sharing your skills. Love the fact that you use the small little palm chisels. I wasted so much money on chisels bought a set of Palm chisels and couldn’t be happier. I forget the brand but they are made in Czechoslovakia fractions of the price of Pfiel work perfectly and take a very nice sharp edge.

What is the blade steel? Looks like wrought with that pattern.

Exceptional inletting work , The key is taking your time and not to rush your work because in the end it shows. It’s really hard some times to find small thin flat chisels. Usually wind up making what you need, just to spend a few hours watching your inlet techniques would be worth their wait in gold for the builder. Your work is top shelf.

I bet Prussian blue might do better. Great vdo ty

Do you have plans for that gin pole set up? Sweet looking cabin!

I appreciate seeing all the hand done engraving all over this piece, especially the many different cuts made on the bowl ! Very authentic ! Well done !

Thank you for a very educational video. Thank you!

You are good

Good shots of the brim of your hat. But then you high speed the actual inletting??? That's the step I actually needed to see. Sorry. Two out of five *'s.

Badass

Thanks man for showing this video. I live all of your work man. I’d like to see more videos of your forging muzzleloader parts and axes.

very cool. what do you finish the antler with. Dye?

I guess not ??

Are you going to finish that flintlock or not ??????

Plzz tell me this tool name plzz sir

OK, it's been over a year since this video, are you EVER GOING TO FINISH IT ?!?!?!?!?!?!?!🤨🤨🤨🤨🤨

Awesome vids! Please don't stop making them. Winters are long in Montana I need to try and build a fowler.

Beautiful

Oh no I see you have one. Didn't finish the video before posting. I have a bad habit of doing that...

You should find you a small metal lathe. It would come in very handy. That is a lot of filing...

Beautiful striker and design.😁👏👏👏👏👏 how do i buy one?

Nice video of the bill of your hat.

Sharpie marker are the last thing I would use to transfer. The smoke from a candle in the best and cheapest short of lamp black.

Hello,, Is this build from a kit, or parts you ordered independently? ,, I would like to build a few pistols ! Thanks

Fantastic, thanks for sharing
