Build a N.W. Blanket Gun

[Rob M.]

After I got the initial side plate ....uhm ...." hole " in there then I inlet black the side plate put it back.in there tight , pop it back out and then remove the black from the bottom but also the sides ( you can't see it ) but the sides will have tiny bit of black on there and remove that too for the S.P. to go down there , be careful esp. where the higher wood is fragile , youll knock that piece out and either have to glue piece back in , if you can find it , leave it looking crappy or have to fill it in ....more work . Drill the third hole and put that screw in ... Going over stock now , final shaping troublesome parts and final sanding soon ... Hopefully finish coat soon

Nothing terribly spell binding to post ...steel wooled the dried finish coat and put a third and final coat on her of shellac ....drying .... also took a short piece of 1/2" hickory ramrod and took one end down , fit a brass tip to it , glued and pinned the tip on ... Tomorrow I'll taper the rod to size and fit it to stock ....
