My Dad made me a stand for my 1853. Not bad considering he never saw one before.

 

Thats pretty sick!

That is awesome.

It's an extension for the lever that seats the boolit, I use plastic ones for my 5 1/2 Old Army's comes in handy when I'm using full house loads, so I don't bust up my hand.

It's nice that you have a good relationship, and he made the time and effort to do that for you! Nice!

Thanks for the good words guys. He was a little bummed that he didn't make the post longer so he wouldn't have had to make that funky "Z" piece to hold the muzzle.

 

He'll be 89 this month so he gets a "pass" ...this time

89, awesome! Good to see, you have a place to shoot!

Bring him to the range so he can watch you use it or use it himself!

 

The Holy Black will be burnin at Old Bridge this Sunday for sure!

Very cool, it's great that he has a hobby he enjoys and from the looks of it, he's pretty darn good at it.

He is a machinist by trade so working with wood is a bit laid back for him

 

I always told him he could have been an artist as he has an eye for it.

Got it, I grew up with my old man owning a machine shop so I have been around them allot of my life, but as far as an artist, well I can barely draw a stick figure but I can turn out a quality part to spec. lol
