Since the previous thread was shut down (locked) by our new moderator, I thought I would start one up again, as per the suggestion.
So, let's get this thread going again, and share your muzzleloading related adventures of the day!

Draw filing a Investarms 54 cal barrel ,nice bore and ugly looking from the outside .When done someone will have a nice front stuffer ! The dilemma now is after the barrel is done do I leave the brass or do I darken it with Historic brass tarnishing solution as it gives a rich antique look ,I liked it on my Kibler 45 SMR . I got time as the stock needs attention too

Cast a bunch of .600 Round balls for my first Flintlock which should finally arrive on Tuesday from Hendrie at Kashtuk... Can't wait to actually hold it, it's his Kashtuk Fowler w/42" barrel in the Poorboy no extras model... While waiting I've made a couple new powder horns and measures and other small items that aren't in my caplock bags... Will post pics when it gets here...

Shoot my 58 smothbore and filed front sight about 1/8inch . Got take it back to board shoot it again see how she doing with #6 waspnest 80 gr 1.5 oz

Hard to believe that it takes more than 60 board ft of 3/4" X 3.5" to build a box that is 17.5" X17.5" X 24". The 17.5" is so it will fit on one of those trailer hitch carriers/basket things. I use screws on the inside and underlay nails on the outside. Now its time for paint
Be sure and show competed box.

BP Maniac. Are you using a pizza cutter to cut patches? If so, how does that work? Polecat

A friend came to my house to help me remodel a bathroom and he brought his enfield. It was beautiful and was one of the older ones made in England. He is a lot younger than I and ofered to carry me shooting, something I have been wanting to do for quite a while. It is nice to have a good friend!

It’s a fabric cutter, they come razor sharp. Fabric stores sell them. My mom had one she uses for quilting.

He has, I saw it the other week. Fabric cutter and he cuts the strips 3/4 of the way so he can tear them in the field.

I made a longer short starter to get the ball past the hard fouling towards the muzzle in this 15% humidity weather. If I get the time this week I'll post a few pictures of an even faster way to cut patches.
