    Sterling Silver Mounted Scabbard

    Well I glad that wasn't a oops. I've seen guys misspell there own name at times. You do some fine work, it's pleasing to even my untrained eyes. And you know the old saying Art is in the eye of the beholder. The lines on both those swords are very nice.

    TOW Bucks County Rifle Kit Update

    The anticipation of #24 is killing me if you got the wreck on video. Watching the videos sure make me more motivated to work on my build more. I'm almost up to a full toothpick worth of wood a day now. Mr. B Dont ever install Jaeger thimbles, what a PITA.

    Dovetails and breach plug

    Ohio and Bird dog are right, took me a LLLLOOOONNNNNGGGG time getting the pattend breech plug in using a file and inletting black. OH and it held me up doing mine finding a die for the threads to clean up the breech plug, which I think is half the cost of having them do it for you.

    Dovetails and breach plug

    First timer to first timer, I was scared to do mine, but using Mr. B's Video Had a good idea and the dove tails were a breeze. The breech I used had 8 sides to line up and was pain but came out good. I'd do it it again. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4Ir8roD-cVg and the dove tails...

    Bad day in the shop

    Mr. B, I was re-watching either 21-22 and your patch box hinge plate is just the right size. to lay flat on the stock instead of inside the box, if your hinge opens enough. I would shape it a bit put some brass round head screws to hold it and file them flush for a permement attachment.

    Bad day in the shop

    You know that is heartbreaking but your patch should be fine. You just need a brass inlay there now after you get the wood flush. Probably use a full size toe plate blank and scallop the bottom. Now you just need to look around and see if its PC from the guys for the bucks or Liegh county...
