    Self defence carry?

    My state has a very clear exemption ic35-47-2-19 so i was well within the law. At the time we had a stupidly long waiting period and i wanted to carry as soon as legal so i did. (this is not legal advice) I know the town i work in has a guy that rides around on a horse with a 1860 in a shoulder...

    Self defence carry?

    I carried a cut down 1858 for a while. My state has a clear exemption on them so i carried it until i was able to get my license to carry a handgun and went to a more modern and practical carry piece.

    New Tomahawk

    I have made several with a smoother finish but it seems a lot of folks like the rougher ones even though not pc. I also just knocked this one out really fast since i will be giving it away, i spent more time making the handle than i did making the head. My personal tomahawk was brought to a...

    New Tomahawk

    Heres a new tomahawk I knocked out. A while back I was down taking classes at camp atterbury and saw a drawing of a militiaman from our area with a really short tomahawk that looked like this one so i thought it would be cool to make it. I will probably be giving this to one of the junior...

    Mortars

    I have built several mortars loved shooting them. Built a 12 pounder when i was in school gave it to my instructor as a thank you. Kicking my self now since i cant make one that big on my lathe. Would shoot them with my friends and see who could hit closest to a surveyors flag.

    Hand Axe

    How thick are the walls of the eye and how thick is the poll end? I have been experimenting with making axes and thinning out the eye keeps messing me up.

    Awesome! were you carrying a traditional tomahawk? if so do you have any pictures of it? One of the conditions of me sending a tomahawk with someone is i want pictures of them in country. The wear on the one i sent with my girl friend was pretty cool to see. I use straight 20 mule team borax...
