Great file! Just what I was looking for. Good price too. Another one of your special products. Jim T.
Works fantastic. Best if you use a medium Scotch Bright pre finish and try to keep all strokes in the same direction. 0000 steel wool to bring out highlights.
Very impressed with the quality. I have not had a chance to use it on my colonial lock yet, but I have clapped down on everything within arm's reach of my desk. I have a great appreciation of the functionality of the thumb screw, but it more historically correct thumb screw would be a nice addition to the piece. As I start my colonial build I look forward to using the vise as intended.
Building my SMR was a great experience. When I started I really didn’t know what to expect. I watched and rewatched the YouTube videos and then went back to them as I progressed through each step. The only issues I had were: the rear sight dovetail slot was cut a little shallow and I opened up the ramrod channel instead of reducing the outside diameter of the ramrod. It worked out but I should have known better. I sanded the wood to 320, stained with iron nitrate and finished with about 10 hand rubbed coats of Kibler oil. I wish that I had sanded the stain back a little to lighten the color. Metal was finished with Jax Black. Shooting for the first time was a great experience. Very quick lock time and ignition. Accuracy is very good. Next step is to work up the best load combination and move the point of impact a bit. I am hooked and forever a fan of the Kibler organization.
