My opinion is that I am unsure what a barrel making workshop post is doing in firearms discussion section.

Need something to hold all the delicious, tasty beer that comes after a day of shooting and when the guns are put away.

Well, I guess it could go under "Tactics and Training", but general firearm discussion seemed more fitting since its not a shooting class.

But thanks for the insight on the class... very helpful.

It's a gun barrel making class people. Hence posting about it on INGO.

No, it is a GUN barrel making workshop.

From the website


"Work with Blacksmith Nathan Allen to discover the process of forging and finishing a skelp-welded gun barrel. Through a combination of demonstration and hands-on, the class will work through the steps of welding a barrel, making reaming and rifling tools, and finishing the inside and outside of the barrel."

I think it would be cool to just watch the process.

I agree. I'd love to watch that.

Sadly, I think you build one as a class. I would love to get to make one for myself and all the other parts for a flintlock. I know you can buy kits, but smithing your own parts would be awesome.
