Thanks all for the kind words ! It was an enjoyable job though getting the finish to a place where I wanted it took longer than I expected.
Mercs, I'm glad that you are enjoying the videos. I want to release one each Saturday until it's all edited and done...probably 4 or 5 more videos. It surely has been the hardest part of the job. I had zero experience in filming my work and editing a video.
My next planned video project will be recutting checkering, squaring up a cut off (hacked) butt stock & fitting a pad then finishing the stock on a 1948 Mod. 37 Ithaca. On the 457 I did not film fitting the pad (tons on vids on YouTube doing a pad) nor applying finish. I plan on doing so for the Ithaca. Later I do want to do some jewelry making videos. When I taught jewelry making my first project was usually a bent/forged sterling silver ring. I think that would be a nice vid.
"Backyard Safari"... I would love to but, sadly, no discharging of firearms in the township I live in.
Thanks again guys, I appreciate the kind words for sure.
