    The "Unbreakable Ram Rod"

    Years ago I snapped a ramrod which cut the web of my hand (yes, I was doing it wrong 😖). I looked around and found a guy on the internet who was selling "Unbreakable" steel cored ramrods for far more than I was willing to pay at the time. I thought about how he might have made the rods, and...

    It's that time of year...

    And with the humidity comes the rust. For background, my shop is in a pole barn-no water issues, and is dry, but unheated and no ac. But, the humidity here in Southside Virginia is atrocious to say the least. My solution is a green scotch pad followed by paste wax on my tools, but I was...

    Small turnscrews--sorry meant for this to go in The Craftsman forum

    I posted this picture in another topic on the forum, but thought it ought to go here as well. These little turnscrews aren't any harder to make than a patch knife. I turned the handle on a lathe (although you could whittle it out). I silver soldered sheet brass into a tube for the ferrule...

    Sighting in the cherry jaeger

    Disclaimer: this is not a humble-brag thread about my exemplary shooting abilities (of which I have none...),but more about sheer dumb luck. After weeks of intermittent rain and ice storms I took advantage of a pretty day to sight in the cherry stocked jaeger I have been posting updates on. I...

    Update on the cherry jaeger

    Just a couple of shots to show the finished stock. I used cabinet scrapers and a minimal amount of sand paper. I did use some cherry stain as I don't have the patience for it to darken naturally! I'm ok with the carving even though there are plenty of mistakes. I can't seem to do a smooth...

    Working on a jaeger

    I've been making good progress on this rifle. It's the first jaeger I have tried. I' m using TOTW's jaeger plan and Shumway's book as guides. I don't really like set triggers or stepped wrists; fortunately the book shows a number of regional styles. I' m using a Davis lock, Colerain barrel, and...
