I worked in a spring making shop building springs right out of the Forge.....many memories brought back.
I would not buy something that runs on any kind of primer given the possibility of primer shortages and even regulations. In fact, why not buy a flintlock? Really. Rocks aren't going away anytime soon.

Thanks for posting. Had no idea of the total process. Cool stuff. Unfortunately, the concept of a craftsman actually "crafting" an item by hand is pretty much unheard of these days...

Awesome! Check out the link in the Winchester forum for a handmade Volcanic.
I was thinking the other day how much I used to hate Bill Clinton. He was freaking George Washington compared to what they are now.

Have you ever wondered how many axes just like those are sitting in old barns or sheds, rusted and with broken handles? Nobody knows or cares that they're hand made and will last a few more generations but nobody has a need to clean it up and put it back in use. For cutting a few sticks of firewood on a camping trip, there's no need to go to the effort of cleaning it up. Just buy a $20 ax at Home Depot and you're good to go.

Anyone care to count the number of current OSHA violations in that?

After 50 years of running that trip hammer every day without hearing protection, I doubt any of them bothered with hearing protection when firing a weapon. That was my 1st thought, too. I have a hearing problem and can appreciate a good pair of muffs. Those guys would have been stone deaf long before they retired.

Thank you for posting that well done and very informative video. I learned a lot from viewing it. I have started looking for and restoring old axes as a retirement hobby and this helps me appreciate the material I am working with and the skills of the makers.

Those were the days, axes hand made right here in America.
Today, some gook in Peking flips a lever and a machine makes 1,000 axes, then they are loaded on a boat destined for Home Depot in America.
