Very good tech reference and interesting reminder of what apprenticeship used to be like and what it takes to be a skilled tradesman. If you know how to do something well, you'll always be in demand; the replacements are not coming fast enough, though.

Michael McIntosh and David Trevallion have done a superb job with this book. I've owned it for a year, and have probably gone through it three separate times. I always pick up more tidbits after each read. Thanks, David, and Michael!!

Looks like the excellent work of Mr. T and Mr. M is tough to get. Booksamillion says 5 to 6 weeks and is $17.64. Better hope there is a second or third printing...

Jim, it's a good book with excellent information. It's written in a light and easy to read style that, IMHO, is typical of Mr. Mcintosh's work.

I don't believe I bought them out but I did give 5 copies as gifts last Christmas. I have used this book many times as a reference in actual work and discussions.

Des Mills book is tough to find, Carol's sold her onlyiest copy(s).

Everybody here should have a copy of SG Technicana - even those without a screwdriver....Lowell.
Jim Legg, I'm pretty sure you're gonna like it.

ST is definately a must for any who appreciate the art in gun and stock making. It showed me especially how most accidents do not need to spell out DISASTER. All the techniques demonstrated in the book are used daily by David in his shop. Mike's prose tends to simplify them a little too much but still can be appreciated by all in or out of the trade.

Shotgun Technicana is readily available by the huge book search engine http://www.bookfinder.com. I also found a few and expensive copies of Des Mills, Amateur Gunsmithing.
