    My Dad died on his 22nd birthday, June 14, 1952, I was 1 and 1/2 years old, 2 older brothers, 3 and 5 and Mom was pregnant with our little sister, big tragedy in a small town of 800.. We lived in Illinois in the middle of the corn belt farmers all around. Every winter the farmers would gather around a pot belly stove at the one gas station in town and talk about the season, the harvest and all the problems they solved and others stories. When I was 5 years old I got up early on those winter mornings and ran up to gas station, opened the door slid along the wall and listened. I remember thinking if these men can do all those things so can I.... Started working with wood when I was 5 or 6, me and my brothers building go karts using parts from wagons and old lawn mowers. Wood working was in my blood, Now I'm building acoustic guitars, just finished building 3 Ukuleles for the grand children ... Miss Dad though to this day....Loved the video!!

    I grew up in the 70’s/80’s and “played guns” all the time. It allowed my friends and I to be incredibly creative and outdoors throughout the year. What a great time in your son’s life. And to be able to build with dad is a memory he will cherish. Great job being a dad, Samurai.

    SO freakin great for kids to get outside and use their imaginations! Playing “army” was part of it as a kid for us growing up! I also appreciate the “utility” in firearms that a lot of folks might not understand. Great way to teach your kids (boy or girl) woodworking and a way to get out and enjoy nature and find the beauty of their imaginations. Great video and keep living and learning…always.

    Growing up in the 80s/90s my grandpa made me two wooden revolvers and a leather holster. I recently found them and it brought back so many memories of playing guns with my buddies. Great times growing up without the screens. Also, your boy will need a leather bandolier if things get too out of hand in the neighbourhood. That'd be another badass project!

    One of the first things I remember making in my grandfather's shop was a toy gun. It was just a 2x2 with a 1x3 crudely cut for a handle. I just toenailed the handle to the side of the 2x2. It was an Uzi. 😁
    There was a big area of undeveloped area in the neighborhood that was mostly flat with tall grass and big mounds of dirt that the developer just left. (Those were also great for dirt bikes)

    Nice. When I was a kid, there was a furniture mill in my neighborhood. We would dumpster dive for the cutoffs and build things with them. I built a long gun as well, and put a clothes pin and rubber band rig on the top to shoot paper clips. The cut offs were of all shapes and sizes, so it didn’t take too much beyond finding the right shapes and assembling it.

    I was born in 1980, and my friends and I were obsessed with guns and all the films you mentioned. Up until the age of like 14, we would put on all our gear and go out in the neighborhood and play guns. Give us a few pieces of wood and a roll of black duct tape, and we could make you any kind of gun you could think of.
    Honestly, it was the best time of my life.
    Funnily enough, I’ve never owned a real gun, and I can count on one hand the number of times I’ve shot a real gun. So any parents out there concerned about too much exposure to guns, it isn’t going to turn your kid into son of Sam. Just go with it.
    That’s a sick gun by the way. Definitely an heirloom if they take care of it.

    You reminded me of when my grandpa, even though he was a doctor by profession, built me ​​a whole lot of toys and because he had carpentry as one of his several hobbies, he also made me a wooden rifle to ... and I was so very proud of my grandpa and happy that I got something such a unique toy. Thank you for this special video for me, which brought back one of my most beautiful childhood memories.

    That's a super cool 12 gauge. I grew up in rural southern CA. on a row crop farm. My brother s and I were shooting 22 cal and 410 shotgun at 8 9 10 years old. Mr Hawkins my 5th grade teacher had us write about our home life for english class. I would write about shooting doves, rabbits, and other small game for the diner table. My teacher really enjoyed my stories. He said it reminded him of his childhood. One Saturday, we were working in the fields with our dad and we noticed an unfamiliar car driving into our property. We saw my mom greeting the driver and pointed to where we were working. They car moved towards us and stopped. Low and behold Mr Hawkins got of the car and approached my dad. By this time, I was nervous seeing Mr Hawkins at our property. He greeted my dad and told him that he enjoyed my writing, that reminded him of his childhood, and would like to gift me a shotgun. My dad looked surprised, and I gave a big sigh of relief. I thought I was in deep trouble. My dad said yes and thanked Mr Hawkins. It was a Stevens 12gauge. It took several weeks to get up courage to shoot it cause we had only shot 22s and 410. We made lots of memories with the gun. And I have never forgotten Mr Hawkins. People are amazed that a teacher would gift a firearm to a 5th grade farm kid. I can see the same enthusiasm in your kids as I did when I received the 12 gauge.
    I also became a carpenter like you.
    Keep up the cool work Mr Samurai.

That is the biggest compliment you can get in my book and they still talk about it, and make fun with their husbands that they can do it better LOL and i can redo it again with my grand kids, when i take them on trips in the mountains or forest, my oldest granddaughter even goes hunting with me. and they are so proud when they shoot some game.

    Samurai it’s great that you’re bonding with your son and teaching him how to get over the road with his hands… I was the last of three I was the baby there’s things my father taught me…..that I carry on through my entire life there’s things he told me….I should learn that I said yeah OK fine and after he passed I had to read a book to learn how to do it…..there’s one trick did he showed me many many years ago when I was to take a single pane of broken glass to scrape the varnish off a Hammer handle to paint the handle or when you’re resetting the hammer handle into a hammerhead shave it down because he didn’t have a wood file to make it happen……..I’m almost 70 and I still use that trick yesterday I just put another handle in a sledgehammer handle and thought of my dad he’s been dead over 40 years… keeping In stilling your traits in your boy’s hopefully one will follow you want to be like you merry Christmas and a happy new year like I said I’m almost 70 I don’t say happy holidays Samuel Brown

The gun comes with a sword, a crossbow, a shield and a Hellebarde (don't know the english Word for that). But as we germans have a special thing with guns i was really thankful, that he switched from gunning his friends down to go fishing with me. All the best from germany!!

    Don't know if this is a thing in other countries but here in Holland kids used to make toy guns with a 19mm pvc pipe as barrel and roll paper darts to shoot by blowing on the end of the pipe. Or, when they were in season, some sort of soft white berries. Don't see many of them around with kids playing outside, but we had them. And we had a blast!

    I know how to handle a gun. It was drilled into me as part of compulsory military duty. I don't own a gun, I allow the deer and other wildlife to use my land as a sanctuary when it's hunting season. I raise sheep for personal consumption. I agree that if you live in a place where the wildlife is a potential risk (coyotes, cougars, wolves) guns are relevant. I live in the countryside in Denmark. Guns are not a necessity in any way or form
