    need help with charcloth

    If you have any OLD terry cloth towels (dish, bath etc.) that have been washed till they are near threadbare, they make the most excellent char cloth. The fuzzy nap helps catch sparks. DON'T use cleaning patches or flannel from the fabric stores unless you are 100% sure they are 100% cotton...

    TOW Hawken Questions

    I'm not sure what trigger guard TOW is currently supplying with the kit. But I have built both a fullstock and halfstock J&S Hawken from parts mostly obtained from TOW. I threaded both front trigger guard lugs 1/4-28 and put either a 6-32 or 8-32 screw down into the rear curl. The guard I...

    Best Wood For Knife Question

    I've done some with Birdseye maple. You can stain it any way you like. If you want hard, go with desert ironwood or mesquite.

    Linen Thread for sewing leather

    When I bought mine a couple of years ago I did a google search for linen thread and found several suppliers. I don't remember the name right now, but I got mine from a bookbinder supplier. Seems that is what is used by binders to make books the old way and for people restoring them. It was...

    Knife help - how to fit a guard

    The knife blank you have wasn't intended to have a guard, just a metal (usually brass) bolster pinned in place (the two small vertical holes) at the end of the handle material, but you don't need to do it that way. You can take two pieces of brass, or whatever you want to use, of the thickness...

    Cleaning Buckskins

    Waugh! Cleaning? I never clean mine. I get stuck in the rain ocassionally and wear them dry, but that is as close as I ever got to cleaning. My pants are now about 25 years old and they are just getting to the point of looking good and lived in.

    horns

    Anyone know where I can get some GOOD white to cream color horns for scrimshaw and early 1700s style powder horns? The stuff that Track and October Country have just isn't the greatest. Used to be able to buy them anytime out of boxes at Friendship, but new hornless cow raising methods and...

    Turbo Carver

    Got one several years ago for carving eggs. This type of handpiece is miles above using anything like a Dremel or Foredom tool (of which I have several). Virtually no vibration. But you do have to take care and keep them oiled with turbine oil. There are several similar brands out there. I...

    Griffith Hawken lock

    Griffith Hawken lock

    I have an original Griffith Tool lock and matching breech plug/tang. This was bought in the late 70s, early 80s. The lock does have a massive mainspring. They were designed to copy the J&S straight breech style. I am just about to start construction on a half stock J&S using this set and a...
