    Salvaging wool from grubby motheaten blankets?

    I make pucker toe mocks from old blankets. A out sole added. Takes about an hour to make a pair, and they last a month or two in the house Even added a leather sole to a pair

    Source for Shot?

    Make it, cobbled together shot dripper. Well I was going to put some pics up, but can't seem to attach them this morning. Shot drippers are pretty easy to make, plenty of vids out there. Now the shot made at home is not as round as dropped from a tower, but it works well enough.

    The inlay process is simple in itself. It the layout and getting the lines to "flow". There are "rules" to scroll work that make them more pleasing to the eye. For instance, I think the "curls" on the vine should be a bit more circular in the curl, more compact, but I came to this conclusion...

    Not today, but over the weekend. Practicing my wire work on a new hawk handle. I am really apprehensive to start on the smoothrifle, but I am figuring out some of the skills to improve the work.

    Practicing my wire inlay in preparation for doing the same on my stock. My wife laughed so hard when she saw this hammer, said why? You will never need that tiny thing. HA! The perfect thing for .025 wire, I'll show her!

    My First rifle build.

    Looks like a Chambers smooth rifle, same one I'm building. Definitely a wood upgrade from the standard stock.

    Chambers smooth rifle build

    Ok, now I am not sure what to do with the wood at the muzzle. And am I correct in thinking the trigger guard is surface mount?
