First Fire in the Gunsmith Shop! Forging Hangers | 1700s Gun Building

On the hottest fall day, Peter lights the first fire in his newly upgraded gunsmith shop, crafting essential tools and making a much-needed cup of coffee. He tests out a new pulley system for the forge, improving the airflow and making it perfect for forge welding. As he works, Peter explains the process of creating simple but useful hangers for his gun building shop, where he stores wood gun stock blanks at optimal moisture levels. While the coffee brews and the fireplace draws smoke-free air, Peter takes a moment to share some lesser-known facts about gunsmithing in the 17th century. From the use of brass in firearms to the myths surrounding master gun makers in New France and the American colonies, this video dives into the history of the trade. Join Peter as he explores how vital these craftsmen were to frontier life and why owning a custom-made firearm was both a mark of status and survival.
