A terrible loss for the muzzleloading community. RIP
I am so sorry to hear of this. I never met him, but I’ve admired his work since the seventies. Sincere condolences to his family and his many friends.

It's interesting that he didn't seem to have any issues shooting a right handed gun lefty...just sayin'.
I would have been honored to know him. RIP Sir.
Very sorry to hear, may Mr. House Rest in Peace

What an inspiration...got so much confidence when I was younger from his Foxfire chapters. He made it look so easy.
Rest in Peace dear Mr. House

It is in his honor we continue for forge knives in the Woodbury style to continue his legacy. I was so glad to have known him, learned from him and to have called him friend. Today my heart and soul cries at his passing.

The world has become less of a place today. An American Icon, who lead many of us into building, forging, and the Lifestyle, many of us enjoy today. Rest in Peace.

I wrote this on another thread.
Hershel House passed away 6.30pm US time , I only knew him through FB but we had some interesting discussions.
One of the old world Gentlemen who always gave time to others, a quiet humble inspiration to those of us who tarried long enough to appreciate the simple unadulterated genius of the Man.
I'm sure that right now ol Hershel would have shaken St Pete's hand, and been shown to where all the other Master ML makers have been waiting for him; no doubt Hacker Martin et al are smiling and showing him around the heavenly hall of works in progress.
Lets all raise a glass to Hershel and his ilk, for enriching our lives by passing on the healthiest and most respectable Art addiction of all; Black Powder Muzzle Loading firearms and their building and refinement.
