    What Muzzleloading Stuff Did You Do Today?

    whatever it be, looks good without the paint. mostly i can't nail down what wood is without smelling it. my father had sawmills before i was born and i can't remember when he didn't have one until he passed. I get chills smelling a fresh cut board. last mill he had we milled a black walnut. he...

    Addiction recovery ?

    had to laugh at the "Suffer" part. I throuroughly enjoy this addiction. the icey daggers that my bride of 54 years stares at me when another Loooong box, crate, carton shows up via the big brown truck, is the only part i could do without. Oh Heck! I am lying. she gave me the check book and...

    What Muzzleloading Stuff Did You Do Today?

    today i continued with my effort to turn a $400.00 piece of exquisitely figured maple into $2.00 worth of firewood. somehow wandered 1/4 inch in the first 6 inches of the RR channel. trying to decide if i want to splice a filler in or cut it back. cut back i would have to pour a 5 inch pewter...

    Caddyshack III: Judgement Day

    that isn't the video i was looking for, but still shows results. the one i was looking for looked like a Doolittle raid. think different gases give different results. wonder if they designate the gases as ffg, fffg, or what?😂

    Caddyshack III: Judgement Day

    this. Or, find the holes and seal all but one. take a propane source such as a weed burner and without lighting let the gas fill the tunnels. call up your least favorite brother in law and have him stick a lit match in the last hole. when he grows back all his hair and is done with the skin...

    Homemade "Bore Butter"

    i blend bees wax and bears fat to a goo depending on the temperature at the time. We have been putting up 6 cords of fire wood and my B&B works great as a splitter lube too! used a pint for the 6 cords.

    TRU-OIL problem

    have used tru-oil for over 40 years. once or twice i got a bottle that would not cure. drove me batty the first time. the rifle was scheduled to go to Africa in a few months and I couldn't get it to cure. stripped it with acetone and got a new supply. as far as I know the rifle is still in...

    What caliber and style for you?

    I love my 50's, 54's, 58's and 60's for hunting. they have the authority to put down anything i have hunted and will hunt. I also get a kick out of the big holes in my targets from the 50's, 54's, 58's and 60's. but for me, the one that just tickles me the most is my SMR .45 with a Green...

    Obsidian question.

    they have found that obsidian can be knapped to a one molecule thick edge. not so with any metal. some brain surgery is done with obsidian blades. much less damage to tissue.
