You & me both, brother. Good luck.

No. Leave the frizzen be. It's fine.

The Leather Guy Montana Leather District Leathers Probably will be an expensive project.

Not that difficult: Fabric too thin Not enough lubrication

I've used Stumpy's Moose Milk, & I've used plain ol' water to moisten the tow I use as wads.

Very interesting. I've often wondered if Joe Manton didn't do something similar to his double barrel shotguns.

I never did get on with meditation. But smoking a pipe serves as a good substitute, I believe.
