You’re too modest Mark. Skill is not even a strong enough word for your abilities. Really enjoyed watching the process of fixing that upper tang! The video was over before I knew it. I wanted more. Thanks.

Glad it was raining. Put some much needed water in the ground and I got to see some interesting and very well done gunsmithing. Win, win!

I sure wish my hands were as steady as yours are, my friend. Unfortunately, 78 years have taken their toll. It's easy to see that you take a great deal of pride in your craftsmanship, as well you should. I truly enjoy watching you bring those fine old rifles and handguns back to life again. Your channel and it's wonderful content has become a definite favorite. I look forward to your next upload. I thank you.

I'm not a gunsmith but I do enjoy watching you do intricate stuff because you explain things in layman's terms that just about anybody could understand. So thanks for the video I do enjoy these repair videos but I also enjoy the shooting ones also. Thanks for the video have a great day and stay safe and keep your powder dry!

I’ve done only a small amount of gun smithing however I have thirty years of tig welding. You did a fine job on that tang.

Cannot get enough of these expert gunsmithing videos - very much appreciate you taking the time to share these. Whilst laypeople like myself would never attempt a repair such as this - you very much bring to the viewer an appreciation to the time & expertise involved. Thanks again

Thanks Mark, Excellent work.  That rain will make it Green up nice.

When you’re good, you’re just that good!! 👍👍

I've been welding for gun smiths for years. Love to weld on stuff that makes my brain itch.

Enjoyed this very much. Glad you're getting some moisture. We need a lot more here too.

And that's the way it is. It was a really interesting video.

I learned a lot about welding and the design of the 1895 at the tang. Somehow, I think the luck to which you keep referring is skill compounded by a huge amount of experience. I enjoy how appreciative you are of these firearms.  Perry Pappous, So Cal.

Great video, glad your showing what it takes to be a serious gunsmith, not only a great deal of quality tools but more importantly how you use them.  No wonder you're swamped. Thanks for your work.

Nice job on a classic rifle! Thanks for showing us how to make that repair. I don't think I would have come up with the spacer idea, I'll definitely remember that one.

Excellent work and a very informative video. Fortunately I don't have any firearms needing that level of repair but its good to know this kind of expertise is out there

Love the videos. I’m so envious, you get to hold, shoot, and work on all the rifles I love. Keep it up.

Great job 👍🏻, anyone who has ever done tig welding knows how much work you put into this !

You are a stud Mark. Love your videos  I still can't believe  how many cool winchesters you get your hands on. Keep the great videos coming.

that's a really good method to welding thick pieces of metal together.

That's some intricate work , Mark ! Good job ! Thanks again .Send some rain this-a-way .
