    Hell no, I just tell the wife I`m going to tidy up the garage and then I get side-tracked and start working on the gun. I wouldn't count it in hours, more like years, and just doing all this in half of my garage, other half for the car. Kotuku I don`t think it would wise if I fired the Sharps in the lounge while sitting at the computer and will not be firing it until a proof test is done, that's why I was looking for someone with a farm ,but will probably take it on a goat hunt for all the testing and good excuse to go on a hunting trip. The proofing is done before the gun is finished, no good finishing it and then blow it up, when the barrel is fitted and it will fire primers loaded in cases, every time, then the proof test, It`s got to be safe. In the mean time we are planning our big O E down the south Island in our small caravan for three months to see the main land., Cheers, Homebrew.357.
