    Best book for Atlas 12x36" lathe.

    I have a 12x36 Atlas / Craftsman Professional in the basement. Does ok for messing around stuff. Flat ways, small thru spindle bore, threaded spindle nose, fast minimum feed rate…. Not the most rigid thing in the world, Babbitt bearings…. I have a low mileage G4003G grizzly in the shop for...

    Kit suggestions

    You would be happier with Jim Chambers' (flintlocks.com) Christains Spring - Edward Marshall offering. While more expensive you will receive a product that is more historically correct with better / more appropriate components. Service is second to none also. But if you are not prepared to...

    Fixing another's mistakes, gun stock.

    I pretty much exclusively have been using Tried & True Varnish Oil on the last half dozen guns I've finished. I like it.. You can buy it at Woodcraft or from the mfg website

    1700's Flintlock

    Consider the beading on the perimeter of the plate vs the primitive profile and shape of the cock... Replacement is certain. Not to mention patina... Same for the frizzen spring and even the pan.

    Got my kit in today

    Now you lost me... Why are you threading the trigger "channel"? What sort of trigger setup are you using? I put things together pretty much like Birddog. Makes life much easier.

    pre inlet cherry stock

    I have made a lot of things from cherry, mostly various sizes of block and jointer planes. I would rather work with cherry any day than walnut or figured maple...

    Tempering Tantrums

    Just did a Q&T on a frizzen that was poorly sparking out of the box last night. Actually this is the second Q&T. The first I quenched in oil and it never achieved proper hardness. So I quenched in warm water, maybe 90F in temp and then tempered in my oven & 375. Think I could catch the...

    What's the added cost of going patent breech vs "traditional" hole through the side?

    Building a stock for an existing barrel, lock, etc...

    I always enjoy when those little drill bits break off whence they hit the edge of an existing hole in a harder material. To each their own but I like to make "fresh" holes... I'm not that lazy...
