Useful information SNAFU.

[@CodyandSteveDownUnder]

another great 'how to' video, nice

[@snappers_antique_firearms]

Thanks Steve

[@357Dejavu]

That iron trick is pretty cool!

[@snappers_antique_firearms]

Thanks

[@INeverMetAGunIDidntLike]

Mr. Carlin showed me that trick back in 86. He was my high school wood shop teacher and we used that method mostly to get dents out of the drafting boards.

[@snappers_antique_firearms]

It works pretty good. Must have been a great wood shop teacher for you to remember his name.

[@garrettfromsmokeinthewoods]

Funny i just got done doing this on a trapdoor

[@snappers_antique_firearms]

How well did it come out.

[@garrettfromsmokeinthewoods]

@@snappers_antique_firearms really well I made a short on the rifle

[@jameswhite465]

I have heard that works a lot of times never seen it done thank you

[@skunkworksrifle3443]

Good job and video 😎👊🇺🇸

[@snappers_antique_firearms]

Thanks

[@squiblift2019]

Dude, that's great information to share! Thanx for making this video.

[@snappers_antique_firearms]

Thanks for watching squib

[@unrepentingrebel3241]

A dent can be steamed out--a cut have to be filled & sanded

[@louisianagray8618]

Good job man it's very hard to see the spot after steam pressing process

[@snappers_antique_firearms]

Thanks. I'm happy the way it came out it's still there but it's extremely hard to see and it's not noticeable. sometimes it will completely remove the dent.

[@StevenMMan]

Hey SNAFU!! DE Snapper, today I finished making a Brass ramrod. Not sure what your progress is on our past conversation.
Short video coming soon
Mountain man

[@snappers_antique_firearms]

Sweet i am looking forward to watching. You are going to have to remind me of our last conversation. I have been distracted with cleaning and loading stuff from my parents old place.

[@StevenMMan]

@snappers_antique_firearms we talked about building one as part of the WWAD project. A brass outer layer with a steel core. At which you said something to the effect of got me thinking of going to the lathe. However over the past couple of weeks I discovered that a core isn't necessary. This one is hollow core

[@StevenMMan]

@@snappers_antique_firearms also not convinced anyone is seeing my videos

[@snappers_antique_firearms]

@@StevenMMan thats great to hear i remember now. having a hollow ramrod is a great thing for saving weight. I am looking forward to seeing it. Yeah youtube is junk these days. Your channel is extremely hard to find. When you get over 1000 subs it gets a little better but its still very hard to find. But getting that first 1000 subs is the hardest to get especially being a gun Channel. 10 years ago youtube would promote all channels equally. But that doesn't happen anymore. When you release a new video at first only around 25% of your subs will see a notification. Depending how many of the 25% watch it will either grow or they stop promoting it. The best way right now to get subs is shorts. TH-cam is pushing shorts far more than long-format video. But myself and garrett have noticed a lot of shorts subscribers don't watch long-format videos though. So best is to make a long format video and make a short as a preview to the long format video.

[@tberkoff]

Mark Novak would be proud!

[@snappers_antique_firearms]

Lol he reminds me a lot of the man who taught me how to do a lot of this Gunsmithing when I was younger.

[@JWheeler331]

That’s a good tip.

[@snappers_antique_firearms]

Thanks give it a try works great

[@The-Armed-Pacifist]

Works well on dents, but will not work on gouges or if the wood fibers are split.

[@snappers_antique_firearms]

Thanks i should have said that in the video.

[@The-Armed-Pacifist]

@@snappers_antique_firearms Not trying to be a know it all. I have just worked on a lot of abused firearms.

[@snappers_antique_firearms]

@@The-Armed-Pacifist lol no worries. you are 100% correct and i feel stupid because i should have said that in the video.

[@wonder-bred]

But what if its a dent caused buy someone dropping the gun after getting shot while robbing a stagecoach.

[@snappers_antique_firearms]

It will only if you have lumbago

[@richardkluesek4301]

Something like that must have happened to bend the trigger guard and dent the grip.

[@bittertaxpayer74]

Do you press down hard with the iron like your searing it or do you just hold it onto the rag with light pressure?

[@snappers_antique_firearms]

I use light pressure. Its more the steam that dos the work

[@bittertaxpayer74]

@@snappers_antique_firearms thanx.
