Draw-Filing, You don't have to but you should | Investarms Gemmer Hawken Build Part 19

If you are like me, you get to this stage of a build and you start being ready for it to be done, the high of a new project has worn off and you are elbow deep in more filing, completion feels far off. But do not give up! Now is not the time to let go of the standard of quality you are setting for yourself and your new muzzleloader. It's time to finish strong and build something you can be proud of.

Draw filing sounds tedious and lame but just like all of our other pieces, the process is going to give us a nice, even canvas for the finishing process, and give you some traditional skills along the way. As always, there is more than one way to skin a cat, if you do something differently than I am, I encourage you to share your process in the comments to help other new builders learn from your experience.

If you have any questions about this kit or the techniques I'm using, leave them in the comments below. I will address as many comments as I can in videos associated with this series to give you as much detail as I can about the answer.
