As I mentioned in my "first attempt" thread (https://www.muzzleloadingforum.com/threads/first-attempt-at-a-set-of-flintlock-tools.185194/), I 've been making large salt water surf fishing lures for 30 years and I used some of those techniques to make the tools. I took that a step further and...

Came out OK Next set will be better Need to make a lanyard for them, my two attempts so far today have been miserable fails. This kind of stuff, the tools, isn't so hard, I have 30 years of making big surf fishing plugs under my belt and the machining techniques are very interchangeable. I have...

Agreed ! That is some beautiful work !! I'm very jealous of people who can do draw like that, It's something I've always wished I could do.

It would be lighter, the real issue is that it's extremely frangible

No need to imagine it, it's been happening for years and is nearly complete The Obama EPA placed such overwhelming restrictions on lead smelting plants in the US that the last of them were forced to shut down Now Fish & Wildlife is starting to ban lead bullets...

Your best move with wheel weights is to trade them for pure lead to someone who pours for unmentionables. Wheel weight alloy is very popular and commonly used for quite a few calibers With the advent of zinc WW's the lead alloy ones are getting very hard to come by, at least around me in NJ. My...

I don't follow the same path that everyone else follows, so far that's worked out pretty well. I'm worried about the edges of the carvings picking up too much color if I need to retouch - should I be?

I waited an extra 6 months to get an extra fancy grade stock for my Chambers Smooth Rifle build. I plan on doing a little bit of carving and wire inlay (not too much, I want the wood to be the star here) but I want it to flow with, and accentuate, the patterns in the grain. To make that happen I...

Thank you, that was the name I've been trying to remember with no luck, was killin me ! We may have the same memory

Agree, CVA was the importer, but who was the manufacturer ?

Obviously lower end Spanish import stuff, 1970's ? Probably imported by CVA but I've been trying to match the manufacturer The second one looks like it could be OK to play around with. No matter how low end, for the price I got them at I can't complain

Remember these guys? I think they work at my local district PO now
