Flint Pouch & Charger

[Trench]

I got crafty and made myself a flint/tool pouch for my spare flints, ramrod acces., and cockjaw tool so their not rattling around my bag. Used a scrap piece of canvas and the tip of an antler tine for a button, then sewed it up like Frankenstein. Also, I wanted a charger/measure made from antler so I got busy on that. Nothing special here other than I used a circular file to give it a bit of a spout.

I've only been in to muzzleloading for a couple of years, but I've got to say making your own stuff is a very special part of it. :grin:

You're right....making your own "gadgets" is part of the enjoyment of our hobby. Scraps of leather or canvas, antler tips, etc can all be used for a needed accessory, and most are easy to make. Emery

Good idea, that should be a handy setup.

:thumbsup: Both look great. I particularly like the pour spout on the measure. The pouch looks handy...you've given me an idea for a similar project.

You know, it wasn't as hard as I thought it might be. I don't think I put more than three hours of work in to it. It's a 40gr measure. My .36 shoots best with 40gr and I just have to pour twice in to my .58 for most occasions.
