    Wood carving tools?

    I'm interested in trying some wood carving and am wondering what tools to get. I see sets in a wide range of prices, so how do you know what would be good and what to avoid? Also, is it true that the tools need to be sharpened even when brand new? What about a mallet? Now I have to confess...

    Good books on 1750-1790 period?

    Should I get a CO2 discharger?

    How to clean barrel in the field on a brown bess?

    Okay, after reading this forum I understand that I need to clean the barrel after "X" number of shots. Obviously I don't know how many shots that is before cleaning, I guess when it is hard to ram the ball down the barrel. Anyway, I assume you run cleaning patches down the barrel, but how do...
