Making stuff

[Rifleman1776]

My two main mantras for this game are: "Do yer own thang" and "Do it yerself". I've made many ml and pc related items over the years. Not always beautiful but always functional and enjoyable to use because I knew I made them myself. However, at times I have 'cheated'. At rendezvous burlap feed sacks have been very useful in keeping my camp looking pc. Since we can't to out and kill a fresh buff for meat everyday I cover the ugly red ice chest holding my meat with feed sacks. Same for plastic 5 gal. water jugs. Never a complaint from the pc nazis.

Yeah, most of what I got I either made or was gifted to me. I'm so-so period correct. I've got a couple Damascus blades (both look gorgeous and cut like a razor) but I know they didn't exist back in 18th or 19th centuries. Not to a mountain man or colonialist anyways. I also added some things I just think are smart ideas like brass powder measure to the horn I made. Some embellishments to my ball flask etcView attachment 280565View attachment 280566View attachment 280567View attachment 280569

Some real talent and skill.

here's the powder horn. It was my first shot at a horn. The spout is a 60 grain for my Pedersoli .45 Kentucky.
I changed those nickel rivets out for antique brass.
