What Muzzleloading Stuff Did You Do Today?

[WALT53]

Back home from camp, just an overnighter. It was good, no snow but last night was low 20's all night and early morning too. Very enjoyable, and rang some steel with my flintlock too.

Nice out fit you have and gotta say you seem detonated .👍

Spell check got ya....bet you meant determined. But I kept my powder away from the fire so I wouldn't be detonated!

Moving a little slow today, but I got a plug turned for the powder horn. Ended up using a piece of Sycamore that’s been sitting a couple of years. The wood works good. Still have to turn the stopper.

That is gonna look nice when doneTDM you well have to take a picture of it hung over your shoulder.

Yeah it did but I meant dedicated ,next time you have your out fit on and your gun and bag don’t forget to take a picture.

Let me know when it's done and I'll get payment sent right away! 😂

All kidding aside, that horn is looking better and better each time you show it.👍

Well, I went a head and turned a Crepe Myrtle stopper. Looks decent, but I took a little too much wood off even though I was measuring with calipers. I’ll make another tomorrow.

Thanks @ORBushman!!

Svelte.

And I like how you added an extra pipe.

Gotta ask: Barrel length?

51” . Gallaghan had already put the pipes in- it needed four!

I designed, modeled, and 3D printed these hooks to hang my flinter on the wall. Smaller lower hooks to hang my bag/horn.

Interesting, is the protrusion at the top intentional or a result of the process?

I finished the Long Fowler that I have been working on for several weeks. I am pretty happy with how it came out. More pics here: Finishing A Fowler Build

From where you started that turned out well, nice!

It's intentional as a decorative thing. I'm going to school for 3D design, so I'm very much stumbling my way through the software. I wanted it to be a pointed hook but couldn't figure out how to cut that bit out properly. Version 2 will have that and a longer lower hook when I get around to it 😆

Be careful making a pointed object that will invariably scratch the gun when placing or removing. The design looks 👍

What type filament did you use to print these?

spent the morning pouring a pewter nose cap on my Cherry Cherry build. anyone remember Neil Diamond besides me?
anyway. i made my dam and set it up. poured a perfect cap, perfect except for the fact i had forgotten any relief and anchor points. it kinda fell off when i started filing.
relieved and bored some anchor points and poured again. bingo.
after lunch i went to the mail box and picked up the box of four locks i bought from Charlesk. now i have the rest of the year covered with parts, except for smalls like underribs and sideplates. Oh yeah would help to have a few stock blanks too!
