    I like the voiceovers to add additional information. Filming and editing videos like this is a pain to do. Keeping everything in frame while still being able to see what you are doing. Not blocking the shot or the light. Keeping the equipment running. Staying on task and keeping a flow to the video. Reshoots and edits. Background noise. Speaking clearly into the mic. Flubbing your lines. Stuff that you only get one chance to shoot, so don't screw it up. Getting pulled away and having to come back to it. Et cetera.
    I'm still working on the LeMat reassembly video. Been busy at my job, but the work has reaped a couple of rewards that make taking time away from projects worth it. I ran into more problems after I got the gun back together. Back to the workbench.
    This is a lot more work than I'd want to do. I'd probably take the easy way out and pay someone, but who do you trust with an antique? I imagine it is more rewarding doing it yourself anyhow.
    Also, add one more facepalm to the end of the video.

    So when you put the dowl in, do you have the hammer and main spring in and fit around it. Also how are you attaching the grips to the frame or to each other.

      On the military guns, they used boiled linseed oil on the walnut grips.
      On the civilian market, it could have been several different things from boiled linseed oil to a high gloss varnish. I know they use a special. Blind .

    • @snappers_antique_firearms
      @snappers_antique_firearms  6 месяцев назад

      One piece grips have a center section you glue in. Making them 1 piece. This is how most 1 piece grips are made. 2 pieces grips means a screw holds the grips on the gun as well as a index pin. Yes some are made from 1 piece, but it's overly complicated and difficult to make without a panagraph. Plus you can't tail the difference gun. ivory, Pearl, horn, Antler and Mammoth cant be made as 1 piece it's always 3 pieces glued together. Do to the size of the Natural components. I do use belt sanders. But I also like to use just files as well. Just depends on my mood. I make these for myself so I dont care how long it takes.
