No Mistakes, only happy little gouges | Kibler Woodsrunner Flintlock Carving

[@bbcustomoutdoors]

Great video! I really enjoyed meeting you in person, and seeing this rifle in person at the CLA show. My three kids really like your stickers. Looking forward to the next installment of this build. I’m at the stock shaping and finishing portion of my own build, so these videos are very timely for me.

[@ILoveMuzzleloading]

Thank you! I love that show, it's a great way to meet folks like you. I appreciate you coming by. Let me know if you have any questions about the build!

[@johnjamieson6368]

I wish your videos had been around 35 years ago, when I built a flintlock. Back then all I had was Hershel House's video on vhs.

[@ILoveMuzzleloading]

Hershel is 100x the builder I’ll ever be!

[@johnjamieson6368]

@@ILoveMuzzleloading Your videos are great. I still have the vhs tape but no vcr or tv. LOL

[@johnveglio4433]

I have no experience with chisels, for me I would stick to files and scrapers for the most part. I wish that I had your skills and had started 50 years ago 😅😅😅😅!!!!!! FANTASTIC JOB 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

Smooth Transition! I'm enjoying your handiwork and instruction.

Beautiful work my friend!

[@genetoler2207]

Keep on sharing what you love ; I feel I too could do some carving after watching you , if I could get it to look as good as yours I'd be very happy 😊

[@P.och0]

Good work! Keep on keepin on brother man!

[@gravityalwayswins1434]

Good job Ethan.

[@Bhartrampf]

A way to make cheap small gouges and scrapers is to reshape exacto blades. I sometimes cut small dowles to the shape I need and glue fine sandpaper to it, for the final finish. Nice job

[@jeffreygardner2591]

A beautiful job, Ethan, I've recently retired and am trying to get back into building some rifles to leave behind for my kids to remember me by. Built a few for hunting with about thirty years ago, but haven't done one in too many years. Watching your efforts I'm going to try my hand at carving and seeing if I can fancy up a few of them. Keep up the good work and hopefully I'll run into you over at Friendship.

I really appreciate you sharing the process with us. Your artistic background shows in your layour skills. My ability runs to straight lines and 90° angles( if l can use drafting tools!). Keep up the tutorials. Thanks.

[@loupuleff571]

Looks great on that beavertail where your trying to get the definition I have some small jewelers files that can be used sideways that would really help define that line they are also curved.

Going full Bob Ross. ^~^

[@dougdukes1039]

Any chance you could make a video on sharpening your chisels? That is one of my biggest issues with carving. I know we suppose to use very very sharp tools, but getting that is very daunting. Thanks

[@raymondhindle7861]

Great job, Ethan! Did I see this rifle at your table at CLA? It looked gorgeous. Can you leave a link for your tool source? Love those handled scrapers.

[@greggobleman270]

Those scrapers are made by a gentleman named Richard Miller. His info eludes me at the moment. Maybe Ethan will pass on that info. I have a full set. Very handy!

[@garydzidowski1134]

Even though Kibler and similar high quality modern made "reproduction" are not originals from the 17 & 18th century. They will become valuable collectors items. Quality matters.

What happened to the hemmed hawken series? It shows 24 videos but the first 10 are unavailable

[@ILoveMuzzleloading]

I’m working on bringing them back.

[@huntersvejkovsky4720]

@@ILoveMuzzleloading sweet hopefully they be back up before to long I really like that series and plan on getting a gemmer hawken and your series is probably the most in depth one I’ve seen on that gun
