Was it affordable?
Looks great! This is the part I like best- when it really begins to take its final shape.
Received my Colonial back from the UPS fiasco.
Also bored my wife to death talking about how it differs from the SMR I'm putting together, she's a good sport.

I know how that is. My wife said that the rifle that I am now building looks like the rest. After about a minute of me explaining the difference, I could tell that she really didn't care. But she did stay and listen. Kind of like when she is telling me about what is going on in General Hospital.

Dyed my white linen shirt with a Black Walnut dye that I made.
Received a rifle from a member here in a cardboard box in great condition. Hope to shoot it sometime soon.
Worked muzzleloading into my American History class today. Had my students "engrave" their own powder horns, on a worksheet. They had to choose from between the periods of the F&I was, the Revolution, the Lewis & Clark Expedition, or the War of 1812. I was pleased with how creative they were! Here's some samples with student names redacted.

Bees wax/vegetable oil mix. It’s the old name for it. It’s the yeller stuff in the picture and used for patch lube and rust prevention.
