    Small Belt Axe

    Took it out today on a squirrel hunt and never noticed it. I wore it opposite the side I wear my shooting bag and horn.

    Small Belt Axe

    I used a larger axe and used my 2X72 belt grinder and files with a bunch of finish hand sanding.. Removed a bunch of steel to get it down to where it would be light enough to carry around. It is some very good steel that sparks to beat the band and will shave your beard as it sits. I want...

    Small Belt Axe

    Finished this up today. 11” oal and 16 ounces. Scraped and burnished Hickory handle stained with alcohol dye and finished with bear grease. Been needing/wanting a small hatchet to carry around while hunting. I think I will make a shoulder slung sheath for it. Thanks for looking!

    Lee .600 roundball mold

    I have some .575 balls that I will try with a patch. They load what seems to me with just the right pressure. I can push them in with my thumb. The .595's need a whopping to get em down, and then the trapped air will stop them from seating sometimes. Keeps me on edge and fidgety you know...

    new (older) 32 Crockett rifle

    Ive killed a sack full of squirrels with mine. I use the same load as you and you can aim at their noggins. That little ball will surprise you, I shot a coyote with it one time at around 20 yds and he fell in his tracks. My second one, a newer one is a little rougher than the first one I...

    Lee .600 roundball mold

    I just got one in the mail and was eager to pour some. I had 20 or so .595 balls and shot a few bare and patched but wanted to try a little bigger ball without a patch to see if it shot any better than these. The .595 balls were a little loose. I got everything together and got pouring. I...

    French Grey

    I stuck the breech end of a rusted up barrel in a bucket of Evaporust one time to try and get the rusted nipple out of a gun a friend didn't want. After about two days the nipple came right out but I was left with a half blued/half gray barrel. Didn't know the Evaporust didn't like bluing. I...
