    1838 Rendezvous in Riverton

    Not this year. I was there in 2004 and 2005. Not in a position to take a long tripped vacation. It usually is a good one to go visit. I have a friend who lives there, he doesn't shoot muzzleloaders but he went with me and he enjoyed it.

    Sharpening Chisles and Gouges

    I sharpen my chisels and plane blades with a 1/4 thick piece of glass and various grit wet/dry sandpaper taped to the top of the glass. If the blade is really bad I start with 120 grit and set the cutting angle to 25 degrees and work my way up to 2000 grit. If they are just dull I usually start...

    Advice on finishing wood please

    Formbys tung oil is actually thinned varnish mixed with modified soybean oil, there actually isn't any tung oil in the product. It dries quick because it has been thinned down. It is a good durable finish and looks good. Just remember since it is thinned it takes around two coats to equal one...

    What do you see as the future for Traditional Muzzleloading

    You can't really blame them for knowing it all, it's what a lot of gun magazines tell them. The manufacturers of say, knight rifles, did a really good job of selling their product and people who have never really shot a muzzleloader, listened to what they said. They came out with a new kind of...

    What do you see as the future for Traditional Muzzleloading

    I would have to agree with everything Roundball said. He pretty much hit the nail on the head. I would like to add that young people think that the new ones we don't talk about here, are what is needed to be able to hunt deer, with any success. They think these new fangled ones are corvettes...

    Beginning to lose my interest...

    I think everybody goes thru stages like this, I did in my early forties when I didnt hunt for three years. Maybe you need to take a break for a while. Try target shooting for a while or something else that interests you. Keep in touch on this site, would hate to loose someone with your knowledge...

    Set-up/using a hand plane?

    The No. 5 is a jack plane and is usually used for fast stock removal although some people use it to true up board edges before glue up. The plane blade should be sharpened with a slight crown and it has to be razor sharp. Crowning a plane blade is tricky if you have never done it before. You...
