    bending brass for patch box cover?

    Originals do not have end plates bent over i.e. rolled toward the top of the lid like some are showing on this post. The end of the wood lid is filed to match the contour of the brass butt plate.

    What Muzzleloading Stuff Did You Do Today?

    I installed my new Parrot Vise and TS Steelworks Ball Base on a bench that sits in the middle of my shop today. I lined the jaws with leather. This will be used for carving and engraving. I can tilt and rotate the vise any which way I like and move around the stock.

    Build advice

    I don't know much about the blunderbuss but I do build flintlocks so hopefully this helps. It is believed that gunsmiths started browning barrels after 1790. Before that Barrels were left in the "Bright", or charcoal blued, or heat blued. What is appropriate for your build is up to you. Your...

    I finished inletting the hunters star made out of .040 sheet brass. This is based on the original star on the Albrecht rifle. The fit came out very nice with no gaps. My teacher Jeff Talbert gave me a great tip,. He told me to inlet the top point last. This really helped avoid any gaps on those...
