when i am done with current projects that is my next.
today i forged a entry thimble of the whatsit i am building. the furniture is all iron so i just figured for s&g's i would hand forge the thimbles. got the entry roughed, tomorrow will forge the middle and lead. being the stock is half stock it will get a under rib soldered to the barrel and the thimbles tabbed through the rib and pinned. just flying on one wing with this one.

sir , i just realized my answer wasn't an answer and was rather flippant. i am too tired tonight to tell my method, but many others have their way and will answer. it is rather complex with all considerations ah.... considered!

Very nice !
Took my BP's to the range. Fired my flintlock harper's ferry and couldn't hit the target at 45 feet. I couldn't see dirt splash high or low, right or left. Then the Pennsylvania flintlock hit the target at 45 feet (40gr 2F, ,530 RB with .010 patch) 6 times with one cleaning patch in-between 3 and 4. My wife was hitting the target at the same distance with her snub nose .44 with 20gr 3F, .451 RB. That's another reason to say "Yes, Dear". We shoot for fun and the smell of BP.
Ordered a 12x12 dining fly.
Picking up some lumber to make some boxes for camping utensils etc. I got relatively small wagon and mule team (FJ) gots to be organized and efficient.
Little by little, I am getting my kit together.

Will do, should have the boxes built soon, the fly however will be about 10 weeks.
