    You have a lot of patience and a good eye for detail - you really do a beautiful job on these sheaths and I'm glad folks on this forum will see how many man hours it takes to create this artwork.

    Tom, you make really nice beaded sheaths - about how long do you estimate it takes you to do one like this? I did a little beadwork on a sheath about 50 years ago and decided me and little seed beads don't play well!

    I see this often - offhand score is better than benched. I think a lot of it is how much you shoot offhand and get comfortable in that position.

    I have this old .40 cap gun made by Luther Tisdel, born in Scranton, PA in 1829 and was making rifles from 1848-1891. It was missing the rear tang sight when I bought it. I shot it a couple of times without a rear sight but before I put too much effort into making/buying a tang sight I decided...

    Windy today with 40mph gusts, but managed to get out to shoot my .32 half stock rifle. Scored 36 offhand. Might try again from the bench when it's less windy.

    bending brass for patch box cover?

    I put a piece of 1/16” brass in a vise with a 1” dowel and formed it with a hammer - just took a few minutes to match the Woodsrunner lid profile. Still need to final fit and polish it…

    Hey Longcruise - pick up a walnut dowel at the hardware store and thread it coarse - I used one for a small priming horn and it worked great, but I think it is only threaded about 6 TPI. Might also try applying a few coats of penetrating oil like Watco to firm up the wood before threading it.
