It's a great day to forge a gun barrel! In this video, you see Tyler Sydebotham demonstrate his skill at forge welding. After seeing "sparklers" and eyeing when the color of the metal is the correct hue as it sits in the hot coals, it is ready to be shaped. In gunsmithing language, this is one "heat." He must do this approximately 500 times to complete the barrel!
Tyler is perfecting his skill at the John Sites, Jr. Gunsmithing Shop most Thursdays, Fridays, and Saturdays.

Happy Thanksgiving to all of our Friends, we are thankful for YOU!
