    Need another survey. Who makes their own ?

    I am currently casting 5 sizes of ball and using square cut patches made from ticking. I have also made my own bags, horns and knives. I just keep reading this forum and continue trying new stuff. It keeps me busy and off the streets. Tim

    Installing a Replacement Lock

    I didn't replace my percussion lock, but purchased a L&R flintlock and a flint barrel. You have some inletting to do to make clearance for the main spring, bridle and sear spring. I don't remember having to make any changes for the thickness of the lock plate. It didn't take long and wasn't...

    Finally made a sheath for this knife

    I had posted a knife earlier and asked for suggestions on what type of sheath to make for it. In the mean time I reground another Old Hickory 8" knife and made a rawhide sheath for it. I hadn't worked with rawhide before, so it was an experience. I am still not sure how to keep the stiches...

    2nd attempt at a knife using an Old Hickory blade

    This is my second attempt at messing around with Old Hickory knives. I started with one of the 8 inch slicing knives. I removed the grind lines and roll stamping from the blade and straighted the back of the blade. The bolster is lead free plumber's solder. The handle is deer leg. I used...

The patchbox was made from the same brass push plate and a commerial brass hinge that I solder together. I use pretty simple shapes, since I don't have alot of available tools. I...

    Refinishing a TC Hawken

    I got the trigger parts from TC this week. That project will have to wait. I haven't had a lot of spare time lately. I had to work over the weekend, but I did manage to get a couple of things done in the evenings. I got the cheek inlay, muzzle cap and toeplate inlet. This weekend's project...

    Refinishing a TC Hawken

    I gave TC a call, maybe I didn't ask for the right thing. I kind of got the run around. I will try again. RhinoDave, let me know how it goes and if you don't mind, what the parts cost. Thanks, Tim

    Refinishing a TC Hawken

    RhinoDave, Thanks, I will continue to post updates as I get stuff done. I too have the old style rifle with the tang screws. Is there a way that the wrist can be reinfored with the purchase of a new tigger and guard? The rifle belonged to my dad who no longer shoots it, so I got that for...
