Jack Rowe, Master Gunsmith Series, Tightening Forends.

[@65xke]

I just want to say a huge thank you. I tightened the forend on my Boswell tonight. So much knowledge and recorded for history. Rest in peace Jack..

[@jeffyoung6967]

These master craftsmen/artisans should be recognised as national treasures.

[@jimmytoolbox]

I really enjoy watching Jack and listening to his stories and insight. And thanks to this video I have just fixed the loose forend on my Betinsoli over/under that has been bugging me for a while now!... Thanks Jack.

[@cartermorey8647]

thank you jack. i know you're gone but your knowledge lives on.

[@patricklozito7042]

Reminds me of the years I worked at Griffin and Howe. Priceless memories.

[@eleveneleven572]

I can remember as a teen sitting with my father in Birmingham pubs on Sunday lunchtimes listening to gunmakers, engineers, jewelers like Jack as they talked about their trades back in the 60's over a pint of Ansell's or M&B beer! Those days are gone now along with their knowledge and skills. Very sad.

[@brianminghella3312]

Yes, its sad. I remember listening to those kinds of conversation too throughout my apprenticeship and the sadness the old boys felt knowing their trade was a dying art. Its not just the loss of highly trained and skilled craftsmen. Its the loss of dignity that goes with the loss of work you can be proud of. I feel it everyday.

[@nickhyslop5743]

A true master at work

[@prebaned]

I wouldn't want this guy 10 miles from my under/over with that file banging against the barrel and his screwdriver prybar..

[@ATINKERER]

I'd love to have been his apprentice!

[@r1wantone]

I wish i had spent 10 years learning from this guy when i left school

[@boarzwid1002]

Had the same thing happen to me checkerd a beretta so4 and the executive comes back and says my checkering is to sharp so I flattened a 24 line per inch on Turkish walnut , WTH

[@WesMerc]

I always find his videos fascinating.

[@StuartOliver83]

What a bloke

[@peterlunn2927]

There are a few craftsmen left - but we are dinosaurs in our way!

[@tangobravo8889]

Old Jack obviously knows his stuff but hey Brownells, you really need to add “closed captioning” so people can understand him.
