For the sixth consecutive year I will be offering summer classes in my workshop in Livingston, Montana. This summer there will be two sections of Stockmaking and one of Metal Preparation: Rust and Nitre Bluing. A week in a fully outfitted and working custom gunshop: Custom Gunmaking Immersion I call it.
Classes are five days with a maximum of four students in each. Tuition is $1650. All work is by hand tools.
It looks like one section of Stockmaking and the Metal Prep/Bluing classes may be filled. Several students will be returning this year and I keep an active list of folks that are very interested in attending. I send out a notice to these fellows first.I'll be asking for deposits in February.
Folks interested in attending, please email at my website.
The majority of interest has been focused on Custom Riflemaking but I am open to realistic projects for double guns, single shot rifles and other interesting projects. Shaping a stock from the blank is probably the most desired class.
Time is short but very focused and much is accomplished. We have about 40 hours in class at the bench, some lecture and demo time. I spend much prep with each student prior to class making sure their project is ready to work on when they arrive. Two night per week we meet back in the shop for a couple hours of show & tell and general discussion.
Student from all over the country have attended: San Diego to Miami, Alaska to Arizona. Some fly, some drive.
Please email at my web site if you are interested in this years (June Stockmaking) classes or want to be on the list of alternates or next seasons classes.
