    Knife and fork set.

    Jas. Townsend and sons has a nice set. Price isn't bad either.

    Knife and fork set.

    I have a 3 tine fork that I got for $12 that has a similar shape to the one I made. Mine is a little longer though. Fits my hand better.

    Knife and fork set.

    I haven't planned one. Maybe I should.

    Thanks for the responses. I enjoy getting opinions from the forum members here so I can learn and improve what I'm playing with. This is a great hobby!

    Knife and fork set.

    Hello, I drew out what I wanted on paper then hammered out the rebar to about the thickness and width that I wanted. I'm using a small paint can forge with 2 propane burners to power it. Until I find a "good" anvil I'm using a 15 lb. anvil from Harbor Freight, it is soft. With the fork I marked...

    Knife and fork set.

    Put a couple hours work in and made myself a knife and fork. I used more of the rebar from the penny knife and some cherry pen blanks for the handles. The knife has a lead bolster. First time trying the poured bolster. It missed a little at the bottom of the handle but I'm happy with it. This...

    Penny knife.

    Thank you sir! My attempts at larger blades will be with better steels. Your work inspired me to try this. Sean

    Penny knife.

    Hello! It's been awhile since I've made anything worth posting but here is my first try at a penny knife. The blade is rebar and the handle is oak. I got a 12 inch lathe on Friday so I needed to make something to justify it to my wife! My touchmark is in the shape of a coffin. It's a temporary...

    Looking for lock maker info.

    I'm not sure how long ago he built this rifle and he left no notes on the 3 that I have. Thanks to everyone that responded. Sean

    Looking for lock maker info.

    Thanks for the info. My father was the builder, I was curious about the lock though. It doesn't hold at half cock so its gonna need some work. It looks pretty from the outside but I have a feeling the inside won't look so good. I charging my camera so I'll post a photo later for anyone thats...

    Thanks very much and I do believe it is an H and not an N. Sean

    Looking for lock maker info.

    Anyone know of Russ Namm? My father recently passed and one of his rifles had a brass plated percussion lock with the name "Russ Namm" engraved on it. I can post photos later if needed. Thanks. Sean

    Father's Day Horn

    Very nice! He will be a happy guy. Sean

    New horn.

    I think mine is reddish brown from the potassium permanganate I used. Not sure as I am new to most of this. I would seek better advice from board member "horner 75". His horns look great. Sean

    One More Try for Pix in Flickr

    I think the stain looks good. I have little to no experience as I have only built one so far but I think your stain went on good as far as I can tell. Make the next one with an even color! Sean

    Where can you get one of these?

    Thanks for the review. I didn't know anyone that had any experience with these products. They photograph very well so I imagine they look good in person. I really want his tin canteen to replace the stainless one I've got. Sean

    Where can you get one of these?

    I think they tell in most of the descriptions what the source is or if it is an interpretation. I noticed that most of the copperware and tin canteen that Townsend and Sons offers is made by this guy. I will be buying some stuff here to see what the quality is like but the pictures make it look...
