I have been watching this post for a while now and would like to say well done! This has been such an interesting thread to read. I can't believe that you have built a punt from scratch and now intend to do the same with a gun! I take my hat off to you as I could never do anything like this! I wasn't sure if I had missed a post but couldn't seem to find one if the punt finished? Is it still a working progress or have you now finished? Will you be able to make a gun by the next shooting season? I have no idea how long such an amazing project would take! All the best and I look forward to the next instalment!
