Some wonderful ideas! Thanks for sharing! Always looking for new stuff to make. That’s one thing that I really love about this hobby/lifestyle. I remember coming home from rendezvous’ with my folks when I was younger and everyone making new things for the next one from something we learned. Always something to learn, or something to make or upgrade to your personal kit.
 
Dental flossing brushes are good for pulling fouling out of the touch hole in a flint lock and the flexibility will allow the dental floss brush to follow the tortuous path that the flash channel makes in a drum and nipple percussion lock.

Harbor Freight has some welding tip brushes that are good for cleaning touch holes. Most nipples are too small for such brushes.

Got an antique horn (handcrafted from Europe) with a vent pick at the stopper.
Seems not to have been unusual

This type of horn was rather popular in the end of the 18th century
