    Still had some time on my hands, so I sewed up a shot bag as well. Just need to whittle a plug.

    Todays project

    I went ahead and picked up some flints, a turnscrew and small vial for oil. To keep it all together I stitched up a flint wallet. Didn’t have a pattern, just looked at a picture, grabbed a soft leather (deer I think?) and some waxed linen thread. Put it together with a simple saddle stitch and...

    You CAN go over Niagara Falls in a barrel. It’s easy. SURVIVING going over Niagara Falls in a barrel…. less so much.

    Red’s Incredible Traditions Kentucky Build: Probably not what you would have done…

    You’ve done damn fine work Red. A real lesson to the “expensive kit or nothing” naysayers.

    Red’s Incredible Traditions Kentucky Build: Probably not what you would have done…

    Yeah, I’ve done woodworking and metalwork, machining and forging. I’ve always been a relentless tinkerer. My wife will gladly tell you I can’t leave a darn thing how I found it or bought it. So this whole hairbrained idea is pretty keeping in character for me. Why keep it simple when I can...

    Man… this is turning out amazing. Thank you for sharing this and showing what you can do with a little (occasionally a lot) of work.

    Personally, I don’t want to spend more. I like the idea of taking a $400 kit and fiddling with it. It takes me back to my 20’s when I took an old Beetle and made an off-road Baja out of it. I COULD have just bought a Jeep, but that wouldn’t have been as much fun.

    I’m not looking for perfection. I’m aiming for looks like a trade gun in the same level of dark room where I look like Brad Pitt. *spoiler* it’s a WAAAAY dark room.

    Bad ideas

    In a couple weeks I’ll be ordering my flinter kit, and today I took a good hard look at it. The silhouette is reasonably close to an English Trade Gun, which is what I’m currently into. With a little work (ok, moderate work) I can get it close enough to make me happy. But in typical fashion I...

    Saw a problem, solved a problem. Good job.

    Blue moon of…

    Kentucky flintlocks… Traditions specifically. I know I’m putting the cart before the horse here since I don’t have home yet, but what ball and patch do you guys run through yours?

    I’m planning on buying one myself… I’m looking forward to seeing what you do with yours.

    Forged Blanket Pin

    I’m a sucker for a nice penannular brooch. I’ve made a few over the years. Yours looks pretty darn good!
