"Building a Kentucky Pistol" featuring Mike Miller from Paducah, KY. Mike builds a fine flintlock pistol from a curly maple stock blank and fabricates most of the parts. The tapered and flared octagon Bob Paris barrel is inlet with hand tools; the brass mounts, sights, tennon, trigger, and sideplate are made from sheet stock. The guard is a commercial casting. Mike installs a touch-hole vent, carves the stock, and adds a beautiful traditional finish over nitric acid stain. Highlights a Chambers pistol kit, but the video shows in detail how to build a very nice traditional and authentic pistol.

I found this dvd to have a great amt of information regarding builds of these pistols. I enjoyed it, added to my knowledge base at the same time, and would rent it again!

An extremely well made and equally informative video. I found myself glued to this one until it was finished. Mike Miller is an excellent speaker and master of his craft. The quality of the video recording, quantity of information and level of detail in this video can not be beat. I will be renting this one again.
Mike takes you step by step in building his fine pistol. An excellent DVD for the traditional gun builder!
