Greetings from the Centre part of the state. Used to live in the SE area, but moved 15 years ago.
Welcome from Alberta.
You made a good move, the SE is nothing but high Density housing units now

Thanks for the welcome. Yes, I've been a tinkerer for over 50 years. Attention to detail, and I try to be as accurate as I can. Doesn't mean I always am, but I try. As of right now I just received my back ordered barrel and have started the rifle. The picture below are the things I made and/or acquired while waiting. Everything in the picture was hand-made, except the Hawk, Bullet Mold, Ball Starter, Pocket Knife, Powder Measure, and Tobacco Box. The horn was a challenge, but I think it came out well.

THAT'S your screw tip horn and the first horn you have ever made? Now, THAT is impressive!!
NICE leather work as well.

Yes, sir. First horn I ever made. Obviously the screw tip should have been made of horn as well, but I liked the look of the maple. Came out pretty well, and I learned an awful lot. At least it's air tight, and well fitting of the rest of my kit. Next ones will be a bit more correct.

I live about 50 miles or so south of Dixon’s. Been there many times. Like a kid in a candy shop. Forks of the Delaware I’ve yet to attend. I know there’s a show in the next few weeks, May 14-15, which I am planning to attend. Are you a FOTDHS member? Been trying to find sponsors.

About 15 miles south of Willow Street, on a high ridge west of 272 towards the river.
Thought you lived up near Dixon's?
