I'll be putting in a brass star on my Colonial. This was a GREAT tutorial! I'll take it slow.

That was spectacular! Wish I had my old workspace here (where we are at now that is).

That was a nice tutorial... 😊👍👍 How about a video about inletting a bicolor bone and horn hunterstar? To me that was a very hard thing to do cos the parts are so tiny. It would be very interesting if you have some nice technic to use and to make the job easyer.

Once you've got the edges and bottom close, drop the chisels and use card scrapers and custom safe edge scrapers, they're super easy to make and use even from cheap hardware store 10 gauge sheet steel. Carbon steel is better as it'll hold an edge longer but even the cheap stuff will get you by. Card scrapers aren't going to open gaps from a slip or lack of fine motor control, they're slow at what they do but that is the point, they let you sneak up on a seamless fit. You can make small custom shapes for tight spaces and braze or silver solder them to handles made from anything from 1/2" rebar to 1/4" steel rod found next to the sheet steel. You will want to look up how to sharpen or put fresh edges on card scrapers. There are multiple videos on the subject and if you can manage to stock a rifle, you can make card scrapers. Super easy and a surefire way to get a seamless fit and avoid rookie gaps in your inlet work. Also good for period correct polishing of the stock prior to ferric nitrate.

Thank you fro the amazing video. Where do you buy the stars or similar hardware??

@craigcook1571 3 жыл бұрын

What process did y’all use to anneal the star?

@Hazeltonpeakroad Жыл бұрын

I have seen these stars embedded in the stock without a screw to hold them in. Are they glued in and if so... with what?

I made the mistake of using pure silver for my inlays, they all quickly turned black, I can polish them but I wish I’d have used German

Pure silver does not tarnish. Sterling silver does, it's alloyed with copper. German silver contains copper, zinc and nickel and can tarnish green in time

@@Sheepdog1314 go buy yourself some englehart, sunshine silver or Canadian mint pure silver bars and actually take them out of the plastic and handle them. Purest silver you can possibly buy and it definitely does tarnish.
