After the young man returned home, his family added a successful barrel making operation to his father's forge, in Ilion Gorge, New York. By heating and hammering the coiled bars around the central rod, the barrel metal became fused into a solid cylinder, at which point the rod was pressed out. At the time, the method was to heat and wrap long flat bars of iron around a metal rod of the caliber desired. Eliphalet's father sent him to a well-known barrel maker in a major city to purchase a barrel, with the mission of observing the barrel-making technique. Local residents often built their own rifles to save on costs, but purchased the barrel. Eliphalet's father was a blacksmith, and wanted to expand his business into rifle barrel production. Farming communities in the region were famous for their diverse skills and self-sufficiency, and the winter seasons were used for crafts that provided goods for self-use and also for sale.
