We did a video this way because sometimes it's nice to just watch someone work and not have to listen to them talk and talk and Jim gets tired of his own voice sometimes. We hope that it will feel like you can sit down on the couch with a cup of coffee and spend a little time to watch a Kibler Kit get put together. We don't touch every single step, but we get most of them and hope you will forgive that it's not perfect for instruction. Our goal for this was enjoyment rather than instruction.
This project was filmed in 2019 and got set aside because we got busy and it was easy to put a memory card in a drawer and forget about it. It was a beautiful setting at the Shawshank Museum in Upper Sandusky Ohio, where Katherine is from. Her dad was an extra in the movie courtroom scene when it was filmed in 1994 as Tim Robbins' lawyer. The woodshop/museum made a beautiful backdrop for this project that we thought our viewers might like to see. You will notice the cardboard cutouts of some of the characters sprinkled in the background!

I don’t think most people realize the superb craftsmanship, patience and attention to detail this man exhibits. This is why AMERICAN CRAFTSMANSHIP was once the pinnacle of excellence

Jim Kibler, if you ever read this, Keep up the great work Sir! And thank you for sharing your craft!

I, too, was laughing at the use of the tee shirt! I would love, one of these days, to see how his CNC machines so finally carve those stocks in such detail. After making so very many rifles by hand, I was well aware of the steps to inlet the various parts and pieces - then I got my Woodsrunner kit and was amazed at how accurately Jim's machines did the same job I had done - in a whole lot less time.

All I could think of watching this video was damn I wish I had that much uncluttered space to focus on the rifle. Having put a woodsrunner together in my cluttered workshop I know the blessing of space. This time I mostly found myself building it by hand in the box that it came in. While using my vise as necessary. Next time I build one I am going to empty my work bench. By the way you can build one using the box it came is as your main work space. The box is a great place to keep your parts and the reenforced wood crate give you a good place for you to do a lot of things such as install and trim pins and do your hand sanding. You will need a proper vise with leather or plastic to protect the wood for some things. It is just a lot of work with common hand tools but it is very satisfying. I would recomment the woodsrunner for anyone regardless of the number of power tools you own and your skill level. Just think and go slow. Never forget you can't put material back on the rifle after you have removed it. Kibler has done all the hard work.

Gorgeous! I made a Hawken replica (.54 caliber) from a Uberti kit about 40 years ago. Not nearly as pretty as this flintlock, it's percussion ignition, and has fine, but straight-grained, Walnut. The figure on the Maple in this one is beautiful, and watching the video took me back to the painstaking work involved in building my own.

I know this is two years ago but you probably won't even read it. When you first put the stain on that wood I almost puked because it was such a beautiful piece of wood and now that you've finished it, it is gorgeous. I would love to be able to afford one of those guns even if I put it together myself but it's all I can do to hold up my Hawken Flintlock. No matter how much I work out and try to build my muscles up to hold it, it just doesn't work. I guess the older you get the harder it is to build your muscles back up. By the way I'm 72 and still shooting black powder, I love it.
