Addam began building rifles in 1992. He builds part-time and on a hobby basis to improve his skills. His firearms are all stocked from the Plank consuming 200 to 300 hours to complete each. He has his own blacksmith forge (brick) of his own construction and a wide assortment of traditional tools. Beyond an electric hand drill he uses all traditional tools. He also pours his own brass mounts in his flask foundry. Iron mounts are all forged at the anvil with hand tools in the traditional manner.
