    "Toy" horn for my son.

    I like the simplicity of it. Looks good! Most important it will survive the years with him and one day he will be telling his son's "your Grandpa made this for me" when I was your age. :) Good job! :thumbsup:

    Camp Stove

    Here is a brazier I made a couple of years ago. Actually forgot I had it. I dug it out and took a couple of pictures of it. Need to clean it up and paint it. It is made of steal plate, I think about 3/16" and some 1" angle iron. It is held together with bolts that I meant to/need to use a...

    My Second MZ Win: A Scrubber!

    Lead from a car battery is a lot harder than regular (pure) lead. Everything says to use the softer lead in a muzzleloader but shooting an animal that size with a muzzleloader, you would probably want a harder lead roundball/projectile to get the best penetration. At least would seem so.

    Lead ball casting questions from a beginner?

    I also use the bottom drain Lee pot. When it gets the drips or won't shut off, I use a carefully bent paper clip and work it carefully inside the spout to clean out the dross or whatever is causing it to not seal. Usually works for a while then I have to repeat the process.

    made a little alteration to my flask today

    Good Job .....my only concern is that if you are doing a lot of walking, the lid with the spout or the bottom with your mod could possibly come loose from all the bouncing around. You could lose some or all of your powder if you didn't notice it.
