Greetings from Illinois

Gentlemen:
Let me pass a few words around your fire!
I am a full time farmer and part time gunstocker.
Have built two custom flintlocks and sold one via "Track of the Wolf. Hardly a money making proposition as didn't really make enough to pay my labor bill thanks to their mark-up. I primarly do checkering, refinishing, repairs, and the like. I do love to hunt with both modern and black powder. I don't spend a lot of time on line, however, I will make your camp a regular visit when in the territory. I am also a retiree from the USNR---SEABEE---CM1

Soybean harvest starts next week, so I will be spred very thin.

Keep your campfire low and watch your backtrail.

Welcome to the camp Pad-N-Checker,

Hope you survive the harvest and can sit a spell afterwards. Your tallents and advice are welcome here and I hope we can see some photos of your rifles when you get the chance.

:thumbsup:

Welcome Pad-N-Checker:
After the harvest moon comes the hunters moon...

So get those beans in and load up the smokepole...

Good luck with the harvest. Remember to leave yourself some time to duck in here onst in a while.

Got a gun scabard on the Harvester? :haha:

Welcome to the forum. It's good to see someone else from the "Land of Lincoln". Have a good harvest. You must be in the northern part of the state. None of the beans are turning, yet, around here.

Hi,

Hat's off to a real family farmer and a fellow gun stocker. BTW, Wallace Gusler once told us that the running joke among gunsmiths is "I stopped building guns when I ran out of money." I don't like starving to death so I work as a simple servant.

I have the honour to be, Sir, your humble and obedient servant.

Gary
