Hi,
Matt Harshbarger and I are offering our expertise as gun makers and students of 18th and early 19th century forearms to advise, consult, and critique your finished and unfinished gun projects at Dixon's Gunmakers Fair. Matt is one of the judges of firearms at the fair. He is a member of the Kentucky Rifle Association and the Contemporary Longrifle Association. He studied under Allen Martin for several years and is well known for his superb work. I believe most of you know me and my work so perhaps there is no need for an introduction. This is an opportunity to get some help with your projects on a private one to one basis. Matt and I will be doing this by individual appointments so we can be sure to give you undivided attention. I will be available for meeting with you after noon on Friday, July 26 and Saturday July 27, and between 10AM-noon on Sunday, July 28. Matt is available during 9AM-11AM Friday and 2PM-4PM Saturday. We will try to schedule at least a 30 minute time slot with you and perhaps more depending on interest. Contact me by private conversation through this site and Matt on his Facebook account under his name, Matt Harshbarger. There is no fee for this opportunity. Matt and I are doing this as a volunteer service to the community. It should almost be a good as sitting on my shop porch talking guns.
Also, on Friday (July 26) at 10AM in the seminar tent I will be giving a talk on designing and building 18th and early 19th century British sporting guns. On Saturday (July 27) at 10AM I will be giving a hands-on demo about shaping the wrist and lock area from a squared blank.
