    Rain down the barrel?

    Tampion/Tompion I carved out of some maple I had lying around for my .62 smooth rifle. I also like to keep it in the barrel at our club shoots as an extra safety measure, especially while I’m away from it during down time and kids are around.

    Royal Navy Sea Service Pistol

    This is the way I did mine. Rivet method. Start at post #24. Worked great, easy to do and has proven to be a very reliable shooter. https://www.muzzleloadingforum.com/threads/tow-english-sea-service-kit-build.168669/page-2#post-2427081

    Virginia smooth rifle

    Can’t speak to the historical aspect but I love my .62 Chambers smooth rifle! Can’t recommend one enough, very versatile-shot or round ball, light weight, great balance, just feels so right! Im sure you’ll be very happy if seeking an all purpose arm.

    My used Pedisoli Kentucky rifle

    Great start on refinishing your Pedersoli. Here’s my Pedersoli Frontier I completely redid using Birchwood Casey Rusty Walnut Stain to give you an idea of the final reddish color and what can be done to customize these rifles. Staining starts on pg4. Good luck and much success with your...

    New Round Ball Bag

    I thoroughly wet it with warm water under the faucet. Then insert my air nozzle into it to inflate and dry it in place. At 120psi it does a great job expanding the wetted leather while drying it from the inside out. Here’s a much smaller ball bag being inflated/dried.

    When disaster “strikes”

    I always forget that method but I’ve used it before and it does work really well! It’s just never in reach. I need to keep a small bottle of it in the shop next to the glue for just such emergencies.

    When disaster “strikes”

    Broke one of my first snake powder measures after a couple hours work. Started to through it in the trash, I was so frustrated after being so careful. I thought about casting pewter fangs. That would be pretty cool looking but walked away for a while then decided to try pinning it. Fortunately...

    New Round Ball Bag

    Thank you Bill for the compliment! I think the trick for me on the edges is to glue the seam edges with contact cement about an 1 4” inward all the way around and then sand them nice and flush on my belt sander and/or with Dremel little drum sander bit. I use a small edger, then burnish once the...

    New Round Ball Bag

    Off work today so had a little time to make this for a friend in our club. Made from 8-9oz veg tan leather. Once completely wetted I used my air compressor to inflate it like a ballon and dry it in place at the same time. I carved the maple plug from some dried cuttings. Both were stained with...

    New Snake Powder Measure

    Shake it hard enough and they kind of rattle. It’s just knotted thread between them to slightly space them apart.

    New Snake Powder Measure

    Thank you all for the compliments. It’s always exciting to see the final shape come out of these. You can’t imagine the conversations I get into at the pet store with 4 or 5 antlers lined up on the counter trying to decide on which ones to buy after 30 min comparing them and making certain they...

    CLOSED Pedersoli Kentucky Pistol Nose cap Screw (Part number M70TFC5822)

    This should be the screw, plus all my other left over parts, should you need/want anything else. I built mine in a more traditional manor so had quite a few parts left over.

    CLOSED Pedersoli Kentucky Pistol Nose cap Screw (Part number M70TFC5822)

    I probably have that screw (any many others) from when I built my kit. I went with a traditional nose cap instead of the screwed on version. I’ll check this morning.

    New Snake Powder Measure

    Made this for a friend in our club. Material is Elk antler from the pet store. Eyes are brass slotted screws. Lightly stained with tea and good rub down with bees wax. Holds 75-80 grains. Would not want to step on him unexpectedly!!!
