    Cutting pyrite - easy w/ diamond Dremel discs

    Greetings, I know this won't be for everybody but one of my other interests is Stained Gass so I've had an occasional overlap of tool usage. This is my Taurus II Ring Saw for cutting Glass. It uses a Diamond Saw Blade with a Water Bath underneath. The cuts are clean. I take the Cuboid...

    Wheellock Project

    Greetings Wulf, So glad you posted your work. It looks like you did a great job on them. I think we're in a very small group of builders. Did a couple of Rendezvous in Arizona with my Uncle, with the Powder Clan and Mazatzal Mountainmen. That's been along time ago. I hope you've had a...

    Wheellock Project

    Greetings Richard, Can you start a PM with me. I don't know how that all works. I think that's doable but not sure. I tried an old email from class but not sure if it's still good. Sincerely, Hank

    Wheellock Project

    Greetings, Thank you for putting Bolek's sketches on the Forum. It's good to see them. For me I can write an email and text but not a clue about face book or the other things. Again, Thank you. I really like having as much information as I can find. Hank

    Wheellock Project

    Greetings Flint, The works you have posted are truly fantastic. My next thought is something you've probably thought of but what I've found is that you shouldn't wait to do things you have a passion for. Time sneaks up on you and stuff you took for granted are now more difficult. Save a...

    Wheellock Project

    Greetings Richard, You have a very good eye. It is in fact Bone. And it is actually Camel Leg Bone aka the 3rd Metacarpal or the Cannon Bone. Everything that's "white" is Bone. Hank

    Wheellock Project

    Thank you very much. I plan to try to video. But for me I've had better luck figuring out 16th Centry Technology than 21st Century Electronics. 🤣 Hank

    17th C. English Dog-Lock Musket

    Greetings Rudyard, Not meaning to be obscure. I use to do buisness with Ken Trotman Ltd in England. (Book sellers). In their catalog they would offer a very nice "Magazine" called The London Park Lane Arms Fair and when it was in their catalog I would order it even though it was 30 pounds per...

    17th C. English Dog-Lock Musket

    Greetings, You guys are probably already aware of this Publication and Author but from about 2003 to my last copy 2014 of--The Spring, London Park Lane Arms Fair-- Brian Godwin had an outstanding series of articles on the History of the English Lock. This thread on Dog-Locks reminded me of...

    Whisper Baby Forge

    Flintlock62smoothy Greetings, I responded to your question but it disappeared and I couldn't find where you started it from. Yes, the Whisper Baby is more than capable of even reaching Welding temperatures but you don't have to go that hot just to move metal. You had another thought about...

    brass springs?

    Greetings, Good question. The thing I've learned is you can't rely on 21st Century skills. I've found the 'ol Boy were mechanical/physical. With Brass you have to start larger an file to shape as you go. Also what you're watching for the/a sequence. Like on the V Spring. You have to...
