    Funky Flintlock

    Great Workmanship. I guess this is for "giving someone your heart!" Heart bore is unique. Other I have handled are square and oval. I have not fired any of these and do not know how they would do with accuracy. Many new ideas were tested and the rich funded the projects. I like that the...

    Making a hunting sword from a machete

    Well... Since the machete material is flexible, keeps somewhat of an edge, does not snap when hit against a stone... yes. The functionality of the material is better than the average metal from the time period. Forging helps in the material properties mentioned above as well as conserving high...

    Tacky Problem

    Use a nail set that had a dished tip. Concave tip is another name for it. A pointed tip may (will) slide off the head and create another hole next to the pin... Hope this helps. William

    Most androids do not come with a pdf viewer installed by default. You will have to find a "pdf viewer" on the "play" store to install and then try the link again. Hope this helps!

    Is there another source to access Michael Tromner's resources?

    All - This last outage occurred when their hosting provider determined spam e-mail was originating from the website and identified a trojan within the file structure. The hosting provider shut the whole site down until it could be removed. Dr. Jones (the owner) is looking into different...

    Ball size recommendation for handgonne

    For smooth bore,, If the bore size is accurate (you never know...) It is just simple math. [bore size] - 2 x [patch thickness] = [ball size]. So... .750 - 2(0.020) = 0.71 ball size. This is all approximate as barrel wear & differences in patch material occur. Most likely, find some balls between...

    Is there another source to access Michael Tromner's resources?

    They are running on a very outdated version of software. I have email and tried to assist in updating and archiving... alas... hope not permanently down. This has occurred before. I also submitted the site to the "wayback" machine for permanently archiving. Not sure if it was ever included.
