Old school forging a gun barrel from and old wagon wheel.

Lots and lots of work into the barrel. I guess this is how they did it in the olden days? Knives made from files shipped west gun barrels from wagon wheels nothing went to waste I guess?

Incredible huge one it is.

Peterson's gun shop a bit south of me has all the old craftsman tools for weapons from the 1800s to make fine weapons.

Mr. Peterson had a custom shop in Denver pre War of Aggression where he befriended elderly Jim Bridger mountain man and later made weapons for the likes of Buffalo Bill and many others.
Shop moved to Florida in the 1900s.
