    How old are ya?

    25. I cut teeth on cap and ball revolvers around the time I was 16, then graduated to a traditions kentucky kit, and then went all the way to flintlocks and never looked back.

    Lighting a pipe with flint and steel

    I would imagine in the 18th century/ pre match world, that using a pair of ember tongs and getting a coal out of an already lit fire would have been the most practical and popular method, especially in a tavern environment. However I have not researched it well and cannot speak to what was most...

    Making a hunting sword from a machete

    Respectfully, the video is about making a 18th hunting sword/hanger/cutlass from a 16 dollar machete, you simply aren't going to get that distal taper. I can and have forged swords, however, that was not the point of the video. The point of the video was to make one from a cheap machete. Also I...

    Making a hunting sword from a machete

    Not at all, I cut slowly and use water to cool so as to not affect the temper. Two rules of thumb is to not let it be too hot to bare hand touch, or get the steel past a straw color to a plum-blue color from heat.

    Pedersoli kentucky kit remodeled

    Here I took a Pedersoli Kentucky kit and modified it heavily to resemble a more period correct smoothrifle, with the Virginia style in mind. I filed the barrel octagon to round, added a new brass front sight, trigger guard from TOTW and shaped the comb to more resemble the rifle styles I had in...

    .50 caliber Smoothbores?

    I have a 50 smoothbore (.490 Cal to be exact), with a 30 inch barrel and it is one of my favorite guns. More accurate than I am, very versatile and easy on the powder and lead supply. Good caliber for small game with shot like squirrels to larger animals with ball like a hog.
