    Old knife

    Well my first thoughts after the pic was lightened is it looks old or someone has went to lengths to age it. You can buy these today. Of course they are replicas. For the life of me I can't remember right off the top of my head where I say them for sale. If I can find the site I will post it...

    Search... for war clubs

    I know there was some pics on here a couple of years ago or more or some war clubs someone had made. I had a picture of one of the ball war clubs had an Indian face. If I remember right it was painted black and red. However when I try to do a search the search feature locks into anything about...

    stitching "pony"

    Here is a link to a stitching pony made by one of our members. Some of you know him by Labonte, Chuck Borrows, but Wild Rose Trading Co. is his as well! I used this pic to make me one several years back. That is a self closing screen door hinge he used on the bottom, and the thru bolt and a...

    black walnut dye

    Never used walnut dye on clothing, (not intentionally anyway) :idunno: I did my traps every year before the season. I would throw them into a #2 washtub and put in a handful of walnuts. The green ones, (that fell before they were ready)or the outer green hull that falls from the nut as the...

    Bullets are a tight fit

    My .50 will shoot a .490 ball w/pillow ticking and it is a good fit. Using the same ticking I can feed her a .495 but, it is tight as can be, but is doable, using the hand over hand method with the ram rod. However using the same load that I used with the .490 ball, the .495 ball will rattle...

    Wow Wick that is great work. Your stuff has always stood out above many. I have yet to see anyone that can match your talents and as for the side seam sheath/scabbard work,..........well it is as good as it gets.

    set trigger on my hawken

    My set trigger is heavy but, once your on and your breathing is right. I will feel my finger on the firing trigger and that's all! I let my son shoot one day, told him to sit down and steady in, when you feel that everything is right touch the set trigger, then take that second to recheck your...

    Browning Mountain Rifle

    When you pick one up the weight will shock you, when you get over that and throw it too your shoulder it seems to automatically hit that sweet spot and, if you ever shoot one, your done! In other words it kind of reminds you of your first love! As for the GPR, if I had the money and they...

    Popping figured Maple with Aquafortis

    Buckeye this is more than likely going to get pulled. No links to something that is not about traditional muzzle loading! I know you are just trying to bring across the AF side of this post but,............ there are some who do nothing but look for posts to complain about, and as soon as he...

    success with router guides

    I ain't no expert in this field but, a swamped barrel would be done the same way, and the swamped part would have to be done by hand. The only other way I could see is you would have to develop a guide that works with the swamp! Take a look at this page from TOW and envision a pattern that...

    success with router guides

    Not crazy at all I have been doing carpentry since the age of 14. So am comfortable with a router and 2/3 of any special cut is the set up. Here is a couple of bits from a gunsmith forum. They were made to cut an octagon barrel cut. I think both of these were used in a mill, from the size of...

    success with router guides

    OK so I get what the guides/bars were for but how are you achieving the use of the bars as a guide? Are you using a bearing on the router bits shaft, similar to this? Or are you using a guide on the bars similar to this? Pictures of that would be nice, or at least a description of how...
