    Bess vs charley, what’s your favorite

    I have both Pedersoli repros to. Do you have any ignition issues? My Chareville gives me problems. I have to clean the touch hole and re-prime about every third shot. I am considering putting a liner in it. The hole seems to be positioned in the right place.

    Pedersoli Kentucky .50 Thoughts ?

    Yes, it has set triggers and it's a little heavy but crisp. I have no complaints about it at all.

    Pedersoli Kentucky .50 Thoughts ?

    I have a Pedersoli Flintlock Kentucky in .50 cal. I bought it about 15 years ago and it's well put together and has a nice looking walnut stock. It also has double set triggers. The very first shot I took with it I hit a clay pigeon at 50 yards. I like it well enough and have 3 other Pedersoli...

    Trying to make a horn for first time

    Thank you for steering me in the right direction. My horn is soaking right now. I'll follow your advice and post back as I work on it.

    Trying to make a horn for first time

    I appreciate the advice of an experienced horner. I'm retired and have more time than money to buy new power tools anyway. I enjoy working with my hands. After I soak do I work while it's wet or at least still has moisture in it? I ordered a couple of better files. One is a Vintage Nicholsen...

    Trying to make a horn for first time

    Those look great Ian. If I decide to do more than one which I think I might I will look into a belt sander. I have a guitar nut slot file that I think will work great on rings.

    Trying to make a horn for first time

    Thank you for the information. Is it to late for me to soak mine? The rasp I have is a cheap one from Lowes. I'll shop around for a better one.

    I will be happy to post more pictures as I work on it. Give it a try. It will be rewarding to have some you built.

    Trying to make a horn for first time

    I'm enjoying working on it so far. I've only just started but it's making progress. It's an American Bison horn. I have the books Recreating the 18th Century Powder Horn and Powder Horns Fabrication & Decoration. Right now I'm using one of those 8" 4 way rasps. It works okay but I'll be shopping...

    Looking for chisel recommendations

    I saw some of the Flexcut sets. It looks like they would be great for detail work. I noticed that some of the sets come with a pack of Bandaids. I thought that was clever and probably a good idea.

    Looking for chisel recommendations

    I have a Woodcrafters about an hour and a half from me and have never been. I'll have to take a little trip to check it out.

    Looking for chisel recommendations

    I definitely agree with your way of thinking. When it comes to tools my father always told be to buy good tools and have them for life. I still use some of his tools from the 1940's and 50's. I can just buy them one or two at a time.

    Looking for chisel recommendations

    I don't plan to carve on the Woodsrunner I just ordered but want to learn for a future kit. Can I get some recommendations for a chisel set that won't break the bank? I want to learn to carve and sharpen. I plan to pick up a junker stock to practice on. Should I get a set or just get individual...

    Ordered my Kibler Woodsrunner this morning

    I'm pretty excited. This is going to be my first kit. I was going to get the fully carved version on plain Maple and was all ready to hit the button. Last minute I decided to go with Extra Fancy Maple with no carving. I think what changed my mind was watching one of Mr. Kibler's stock finishing...
