Digital Brochure by request inquire at:<sdh@finegunmaking.com>

Both Seminars are beginning to fill, and deposits arrive.

I just had a fellow ask for the brochure for next year. Most of the students come from a list I keep of interested parties from years past. Please let me know if you want on that list for future years, but please don't tire kick. This is a one-man operation and I put the most time into the classes when the student are here.

Check out the Trap Buttplates below. I have all sorts of custom parts, tools, techniques and stuff around here that I show and explain to students beyond the regular curriculum.
Thanks for the positive response!

Thanks to everyone that has requested Seminar brochures, all requests answered. We are halfway booked for each Seminar so if you are thinking about coming it is time to contact me
The Metal Prep and Rust Bluing will teach the requirements for American Custom Gunmakers Guild acceptance in that category. In Stock Shaping you can fulfill the difficult part of becoming an ACGG Stockmaker. Nowhere else in this country is Stock shaping from the blank taught.

Three spots deposited for the Stockmaking Seminar in Sept still time to get a project together. Shaping from the blank, shotguns Okay if the metal is fully inlet and installed.

I've still two places open for the Metal Prep & Rust Bluing group. I can't stress how important these techniques are to professional quality custom gunmaking. I teach methods that will qualify you for ACGG acceptance as a Metal Finisher.

Let me know if you are interested? We have a lot of fun and get things done.
Thanks,
SDH

The Stockmaking Seminar is now full with students coming from Conn., Penn, Oregon and Washington. Three will be shaping from the blank.

The Metal Prep and Rust bluing is still open for students but the last week in June is rapidly approaching. Please contact me if you would like to attend. As I've said before, this is an area that will improve the quality of your gunmaking exponentially and is quite fun to accomplish.
My thanks to all that have followed and considered this,
SDH
