    Fighting styles: Tomahawk and Knife

    I have seen several movies in which NA...mainly woodland Indians who assume a posture with the Hawk or war club in one hand and a downward pointing knife in the other. (The battle between Wes Studi and Chingachcook in The Last of the Mohicans sure comes to mind.)The latter, I assume was for a...

    Arm-R-Seal Finish

    This is a combo oil and poly finish for woodworkers that I found at Wood craft stores. I've used it on a few wood turnings and knicknack items with good results.

    Period Peep Sight

    It seems that TOW or Dixie once offered a "late percussion" peep sight but I can't find it on their website. Saw one on a Vincent style Ohio rifle yesterday and believe it is what I need for my very aged eyes. This one had a forward extension and screwed to the barrel with the eyecup...

    Tightening Up Breech Plug Threads

    Twenty five years ago in my first attempt to fit a breech plug, I didn't use lube :youcrazy: on the threads during the lengthy fitting process and it galled the threads. It was a really tight fit and I was a complete idiot for not using lube! Result was a properly indexed plug but there is a lot...
