    Bullet boards/loading blocks.

    I found some nice walnut and teak serving trays in the kitchen section of the local thrift stores - 5/8 inch thick and just right for bullet boards. For a couple weeks have been mulling over how to drill holes for .50cal and up. Thanks for the tip of "sacrificing" a spade bit by grinding down...

    My first "REAL" flintlock

    I think I used ferric chloride years ago to enhance or bring out the pattern in damascus knife blades. As I recall I got it at Radio Shack. Guess it's used to etch printed circuits??? It was rather slow-acting and easily removed and might bring out the letters and numbers you're trying to...

    Patriot pistol

    Looking for a pistol of 45 cal to go with the longrifle I built. Like the looks of the T/C Patriot with its double set trigger and adjustable rear sight. On other forums I noticed folks looking for lock or barrel replacements. Just wondering if these are weaknesses in the pistol and if parts...
