Let's Build an Investarms Gemmer Hawken Kit Part 6: Wrist and Mortise Shaping

In this video, we go over how I work the lock mortise and wrist on this Investarms Gemmer Hawken Muzzleloader. I'm using a variety of hand tools, just as the original Hawken brothers would have used in the mid-1800s. 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.
