Apprentices, Alumni, and Journeymen
These "gentlemen" ( translates: "igits") journeymen work in the shop from time to time and make themselves a nuisance in general. But I cain't complain as they are as insane as I am!! Al Neubauer has his own shop and makes some fine looking rifles of his own. Don Fulkerson, a journeyman here in Corn Patch, Iowa, shows off one of his rifles. The late Steve Hollenbeck, filer, is in the third. Henrik Elmer of Bandholm, Lolland, Denmark, is a superb pistol shooter and a most capable builder. Ken Guy from Signal Mountain, Tennessee is the newest Toad Hall Rifleshop Journeyman. Each have demonstrated competent building techniques and I'll let their work speak for them.
