Awesome video series! And great to not have to watch theatrical production with background music so loud you can’t hear you talking, and no pleading for subscribing every 2 minutes. Thank you!
As a twenty year old Marine, fresh from Viet Nam, I got a job at the Numerich Arms gun factory in West Hurley New York. As the new guy, I was assigned to the turret lathe, facing barrels and some other stuff. There were about twenty or so employees in the machine shop, mostly older (than me at the time), and I can assure you that the processes were nothing that you would ever recognize. One day, I needed a screwdriver, but the one issued to me was badly shaped, so I took it to the stand grinder, and made a hollow ground, nice fit to the screws that I used. The machinist saw me, and rushed over to see what I was doing, and I simply told him that I was touching up the tool. He asked how I knew how to do that, and I guess I might have said everyone knows this skill. I was reassigned to the fitting up room to do final in inletting, assembly and test firing. I was astounded that they actually PAID me for this! We produced guns of a quality that would make you gasp, but I loved it, and made my own 45 caliber under hammer using defective parts, and the serial number, registered with the Feds, is my last name!
From one not so young wood worker to another a question? Why did you not use a "Forsner Bit" for the initial wood removal rather than a "D" bit that leaves those holes in the bottom of the box. Other than the question you did have me captivated from the start to the finish.
Looking forward to the next installment. The value of the information you provide cannot be put into words. Thank you
EXCELLENT series of videos. I always enjoy watching your work and learn so much from your videos. THANKS!
Just finished my first patchbox and used this as a guide. Thanks again!

Nice!
Green baize is available cheaply in the UK from Amazon.
Pecise as it can get, Yup.! G-G
Such a nice job and then you leave those ugly drill holes in the bottom 🤷🏼♂️
90% of the original guns had the holes in the bottom. I also don't want mine looking like I used a router!
@@claysmith7265 hmm I didn’t know that, then it’s more of a “feature” indeed 👌🏼
Thank you!
