Are you an Expert at Builds? I'm looking for a partner on my next book project

[kcstott]

It's not easy bro.
Took me about 3 months so far and still have multiple proof readings to do before its ready for release

I hear yeah. I tried doing this on other subjects but half way through I loose my direction and get lost in all the details. Then it ends up being a set of encyclopedias instead of a multi chapter book. I don't know what to leave out and what to keep.

[ninjawho?]

Easy solution. "You Book Title" Pat I, Part II, Part III

Email me if you want to start this back up and need help.

As some of you may know I wrote and published some books, the best selling one is The Home Distiller's Workbook on how to make moonshine and other liquors. I've done some other books and also started a Micro Publishing company.

I've been giving it some thought and I want to spread the word about how easy, so to speak, it is to build your own firearms. I know that the holy grail of this is the 3D gun printing but that is still a bit sci/fi to most. People just don't realize that someone who is semi decent at hands on stuff can go into their garage and with a few specialized tools, build an AK47 or and AR lower or a frame for a pistol. My hope is that once people get the fact that they can't just put the genie back in the bottle these F***'ing idiotic gun laws will stop.

Ok, yeah, the libtard true believers will never stop but maybe some of the folks in the middle can be educated.

To that point there are two ways we can approach this...

1. I will sit in on one of your builds. I'll document it along the way, take pics, write notes and then write up a first draft. Then I would like to run it by you for factual revisions and comments. Do a final draft and then publish.

2. If you like to write and everything I'm fine with you doing most of the work and me just editing and publishing.

Did you ever get this off the ground?

Nicoroshi:

I have built one AK with the help of one the AK Builder Team here. It was probably one of the most fun things I have ever done with guns. I am going to buy your books, both of them because I would like to build my next AKs by myself and I feel that $7.99 is more than fair as far as cost because this is highly specialized information. As long as it is clearly written with quality photography, I would easily pay $10.00 per book. There is a lot of crap out there that sells for a lot more. Personally, for $2.99, my book expectations would be incredibly low, I probably wouldn't even consider the book. FWIW, I am a published author (Technical book also, completely unrelated to gun building though), and I have regular columns in some niche magazines and have been published in Wired as well as several websites.

Good, clear, concise instructional material is hard to find.

Thanks for putting it together.

I hope it meets or exceeds your expectations.

I am buying this thing

Thanks for taking the time to answer

I do not like e-books. I am glad that you have a paperback version.

Clicked and bookmarked ...

Thank you very much for doing this. I know how difficult it is to write a technical book.
