    Nescapi Coat project

    All the hides I'd gotten were green, hair on. The guy up in fairbanks said the flies were brutal on the Caribou spring and summer. Here I'm scraping hair on that first bunch. Probably 1999.

    How to...

    Indian jewelers Supply or RioGrande Gems and Findings. Sterling Silver sheet, strips, stampings etc. If they're still in business. It's been a long time since I bought from either.

    Dutch Wall Gun

    Inletting the bbl. is better than going to the gym. That's a L&R Queen Ann lock next to the wall gun lock for anybody who's never seen one before. And, if you find those pics I'd love to see'm, likewise the HVF next to it. Did you pick out the hiccup on mine yet? Que the Jeopardy music....

    Best Shot You Ever Had

    24 ga. smoothbore w/ prb, Dixie Gun Works $14.50 as I recall, late '60's. Crested a hill in open pasture with a woodchuck on a dead run about 75 yds. out and heading downhill for a stone wall. Whipped up my gun, led, fired, and shot him clean thru the neck. My brother in law who grew up on...

    Dutch Wall Gun

    There's a glaring hiccup in this build that I had to concoct a story for and do a 'workaround' to support it. Let's see who picks it up. I'll try for a pic for a clue.

    Dutch Wall Gun

    There was only one guy who could actually hold it like a normal gun. Needless to say he was a monster of a guy. Nobody else could do it. Of course it was never intended to be held to fire.

    Nescapi Coat project

    I don't have pics of the pattern making or stitching process but after the holiday dust settles I'll try and take some closer in pics of the different painted designs. And Thanks ! 'Crazy project huh?

    Nescapi Coat project

    I should've added in some 'materials' info. That's brain tanned caribou, unsmoked. Stitching is elk sinew with the correct number of stitches per in., the 'paint' is flying fish roe which gives the yellow (correct roe would have been Sucker roe). All the other colors use the same roe but with...

    Nescapi Coat project

    Here are pics of a Nescapi Coat I made back between '99 and '02, for your entertainment. I launched into the project simply because I thought they were so slick, and I'd never heard of anyone doing one. So....., off I went, on a three year quest. Without a book titled To Please the Caribou by...

    Kibler's next gun?

    A little bird told me he's going to do a Hudson Valley Fowler kit next. If my source is reliable Jim's already placed an order for another 5 axis CNC unit to do the long stocks and will be adding on to his building to accommodate it. Likewise, his barrel supplier is adding a new and larger CNC...

    More Hudson Valley Dutch stuff

    Thanks Gents. I took it 'down back' yesterday for it's maiden run. I used rb so I could see where it was going and it was low at 25 yds. but I'd left the front sight pretty high so I saw that coming. 'Nothing that can't be tweaked out with some filing. Otherwise, no problems. Thanks again!

    More Hudson Valley Dutch stuff

    'Done with this one. As I'd said in earlier posts, I've been out of the loop for over twenty years, so I've been trying to 'get religion' on these past builds with things like grey instead of browning, aqua fortis, shading, etc. Plus a host of things that were not a key stroke away back in the...

    chisels....lesson learned.

    An anecdotal story just for fun..., My neighbor was going to bid on a nice old small chest. She showed me the listing and said she'd bid up to 150 for it and I could have the chisels. It was full of what appeared to be a full collection of beautiful old well cared for chisels. I pointed out to...

    Hudson Valley Fowlers Builders Nook

    2 Shots, I just remembered, I think (?) Rich Pierce is building one or was going to a year of so ago. Maybe check with him, he knows his stuff. There are no doubt others I'm forgetting or not aware of. Maybe they'll chime in.
