My First Time | Beginner Carving | Kibler Woodsrunner Flintlock

[@chrismartin5166]

Intimidating! But well done and thank you for all the effort to not only carve it but to film it and share it!

The American Pioneer videos are definitely the way to go before embarking on this venture, they give a really expert view of this complicated skill. you will find it much easier to get a uniform vee groove if you use a short section of triangular file welded to a cranked handle, the secret is to get the file flat down on the stock, any angle tends to deepen the cut and give a ragged edge to the groove.

Hello good neighbor !!! Can those videos be found on Utube !!!

[@453421abcdefg12345]

@@davidwhiren817 Jim has now sold the company that produces these excellent instructional DVDs, but if you do a search it comes up with the new supplier. Good luck, you will get a lot of information, and confidence from watching the many DVDs available. Chris B.

When completed, it will definitely be YOUR rifle! Nice work, despite the feelings of no outed or inexperience, you are doing very nice work!

[@richarddean3154]

Great job on your carving. Cortney and I have two hard cherry trees (and five oaks) that the wind blew over and we are looking into a local mill to fashion them into planks/blanks. It will be interesting to see if I can carve something without ending up in the ER. Thank you for the fine content.

[@winsum4465]

Thanks for sharing this. As another beginner, ... with far less artistic talent I might add, I've often looked for some example closer to my level, with the detail your showing. I really appreciate it.

[@Kashtukprimal]

Awesome Ethan!

[@BillRaby]

Carving is a lot easier than everyone seems to think it is. The hardest part is to quit being afraid of it and do it for the first time. Now lets see you do some engraving on it!

[@Real11BangBang]

I've just started working with bone inlay on some wheel locks I've been building My biggest tips when doing something like this is take your time, sharpen often It's okay to pour blood sweat and tears into your build, but blood makes for a terrible stain

[@TheWoodlandEscape]

Awesome job, Ethan!

[@galenhisler396]

That was some work ,and your first, great stuff, I plan on trying it when I get a kibler fowler.

[@thatguynameddan2136]

i dont have the confidence to even think about attempting this. I'm only at the point of beginning to consider some light tackwork on one of my traditions rifles For a first attempt at something like this on this scale and all that, you did great!

[@niclbicl]

Perfect thank you! Love your videos

Two hours of my life I don’t want to get back!

[@davidwhiren817]

I have been a whittling / woodcarver for 50 + years & Pfeil brand knives & carving tools AKA Swiss Made , are as good as any brand out there , catalog available !!!

[@harleyironhead7090]

awesome job

[@Bayan1905]

I really like those single line checkering tools, but boy they are pricey.

[@Strutingeagle]

Very impressive video!!!!

[@ILoveMuzzleloading]

Thank you kindly!!

[@johnnyholland8765]

Think I would have started with a much less expensive rifle that the Kibler but you look like you are doing ok. Got to start somewhere I guess. I envy anyone who can carve or especially engrave. I mean one wrong cut or strike of a chisel and it's like well how do I fix that. Have to really know how to read the grain in wood or metal. Don't know if I could hold out to do it anyway now because of the stiffness in my hands and fingers. Good luck you are doing fine...

[@mikeodonnell9199]

What did you use for carving designs, did you use any templates? I always like the videos you make.

Where can I get those carving/scrapers? 53:40

[@alen5d1]

Do you think your dad would build a knife for me. Be more than happy to pay for it.

[@ILoveMuzzleloading]

Link is in the description, he has a few made up . Thanks for the interest!!

[@trevorfitzgerald4996]

Those Kibler kits are just brilliant I would love to get one but don't live in the US. So no go. Did you watch Jim's video they are great I think I must have watched them 10 time each lol the carving one with him putting in that line would be useful.

You finish it yet😂

Getting there, lol. I took this one too far

@@duncanrumsey5311 Yep. I’ve learned a lot. The “workman like manner” talked about so much is a skill unto itself
