I've been watching those videos. I particularly like how he explains why work needs to be done and the long term consequences of ignoring problems.

Ian Sweetman is a "man for all seasons" in gunmakaing. Those you who have read Vic Venters book on guncraft may remember a photo in that book of Sweetman as a lad doing a repair at Atkin, Grant and Lang. From there he went to Westley Richards and mastered bolt action rifle making; then to Purdey's to master finishing. He is the real "Top Gun".

I've really been enjoying his videos as well. He's doing in-person oil finishing classes and he has said he will be doing online courses in the future. I appreciate the open sharing of his expertise.
