    Blunderbuss PRB

    What was the distance? I shot a ball, maybe 2 through a blunderbuss when I finished the kit, but I don't remember the results - I wasn't trying for accuracy since there was no way to sight over the bell. Now I want to try again...

    Like I Need More Projects......

    How 'bout for Militiamen? :) When I was in 7th grade, all us boys took shop: one quarter each of drawing, electrical, woodworking, and metal. In metal shop, I made a casting of a stylized mask, kinda safari/Maori shield shape that was a face (one of the choices & far more interesting than...

    Thanks! Another great video, chert and to the point! I'm compelled to mention BPMS's extraordinary attention to detail in all, but especially this, video. He painstakingly color-matched his fingernails to the English and MO flints just so there'd be no confusion. Folks, this here is a Very...
