    I took typing for 3 years in high school and I still owe 25 words a minute! Thank God for all of the experienced posters who are willing to answer our questions.

    Another new tool , Anvil

    I am so lucky, My wife encourages me to get into blacksmithing. So far I've got a 93 lb Hay Bedden, a 20 ton HF air over hydraulic press. She suggested that because of my infirmities she doesn't want me to hurt myself. I built my own brake drum forge, she bought me a leg vice, and a Mr. Volcano...

    Dixie Mountain Flintlock .32 value

    Don't prime with so much powder. 3 to 5 grains are sufficient.

    Question about shooting round ball in smooth bore

    I prefer a paper cartridge. I would use .575 ball in the cartridge. It would do minute of a deer at 50 yds. with 70 gr. of 3f.

    Squirrel Dogs

    I've had Mt. Curs, smartest dogs I ever owned. They will watch your kids, your house, and you. The first one was a female that my wife gave me for Christmas. She was my Christmas present but she was my wife's dog, until I took my gun out of the closet. Then it was see you later MA, we're going...

    Need a smith to solder a rib on my flinter

    i would recommend Brownell's HiForce44 solder. I comes in a coiled ribbon and can be melted with a propane torch. It results in an extremely strong bond.

    Has anybody tried Superzilla that's advertised on tv? Supposed to be the best thing for removing rusted screws.

    My thimble's screw wouldn't hold. i soldered it. how'd i do?

    I bought a roll of Brownell's HI Force 44 and never looked back. It melts with a propane torch, not excessively hot. I outline the area with a common #2 pencil to contain the solder. the solder doesn't stick to the graphite.

    Fusil ,,tulle,,fowler

    I feel that you should get and use whatever makes you happy. If you are not into reenacting you only have to make yourself happy. I have taken the parts from my early VA fowler and reinstalling them in a Tulle stock. I prefer the looks of the Tulle. At my age and physical condition the only...

    May need to pull breech plug.

    I usually use 2 blocks of wood chiseled out to the barrel profile. my vise weighs about 40 to 50 pounds. I have a monkey wrench that is about 16 inches long. Never found anything that I couldn't take apart.

    2f prime in the pan

    I bought a can of 1f To see how it would pattern in my 20 ga. It tightened up my patterns and still had enough power to puncture a tuna can at 25 yds. I also primed with it, and I could not notice any difference in ignition speed. But then again I am old and most of my body functions have...
