    weaving

    I actually just recently finished a "finger" woven strap for my powder horn. I had some plain white cotton cordage laying around that I laid out into five strands that doubled over made for ten strands total. I tied all of the ends together on one end, died half of the strands red and the other...

    Making a Queen Anne Turn Off Pistol

    I had an absolute blast when I built mine. I used the castings available from Blackley and son from a 1740 G. Gill of Richmond. The most time consuming portion for me was inletting the stock as it is necessary to inlet the strap behind the trigger guard and the receiver all at the same time and...

    WITHDRAWN New unfired New England Fowler

    If I hadn't just spent a bunch of money on a new (to us at least) car, I would be seriously interested. Unfortunately as brokennock aptly pointed out, there isn't much commerce in interest.

    Philadelphia derringer

    Not really advice, but maybe some inspiration for you. A couple of pictures of one I recently completed. I might be building another at some point, I have most of the parts. If I do I will keep you in mind.

    Queen Anne pistol

    If I am remembering correctly I used a 7/16 bit to drill out the chamber. I will double check the measurements and get back to you though. The total volume I ended up with was right at 30 grains of 3fg which seems to be a good charge for this pistol. The vent hole I drilled out with a 1/16...

    Another pistol build.

    Hi Phil, I did inlet it to about 2 mm or so, it looks more proud in the photo than it actually is in hand. It was my first build and that was by far the most finicky piece for inletting so I played towards the side of caution as to not end up over sizing it and ruining the stock.

    Another pistol build.

    Thought I would share the Queen Anne that I made from castings by E.J. Blackley and son by way of comparison.

    Another pistol build.

    Awfully cute little boxlock you built there, I like it! I enjoy the quirky styles and types though. What caliber is it?

    need help with inlays

    I would agree with Poker, I would recut a new brass inlay slightly larger, remove the old brass, and carefully inlet the new piece over the existing position.

    one more from scrapforging

    Quarantine boredom got a hold of me a week or so ago and I took a couple of days to make my boss a knife out of a piece of structural steel from the 120 year old building that the brewery is in. We had to remove a set of the exterior windows and portion of brick wall a while back to be able to...
