    A peripheral part of a Kibler Woodsrunner

    OK....having enjoyed assembling and decorating one of Jim's outstanding Colonial rifles back in late 2019, (Kibler Colonial Kit Assembled), I ordered a Woodsrunner last October. It showed up a couple of weeks ago, and since I am up to my neck in work and other projects that I have left hanging...

    Unusually Large Powder Measure

    Another post about the weight vs volume of black powder reminded me of this measure that I made a while ago. One of the members of the board asked me to make a larger than usual adjustable powder measure. It took me longer than is should have because of a business trip. It has two different...

    A very tiny....and special.....horn

    On the 24th of August, my Mom, who was 97 years old, passed away. She was mentally sharp as a tack and was doing fairly well physically when I was with her on her 97th birthday in July. However, shortly thereafter, her health took a down turn and she lost the battle in late August. She passed...

    Muzzleloading Jewelry

    I do a lot of casings in silver and gold. Over the years I have made a lot of jewelry of all kinds but recently I have been asked to make several pieces of jewelry that specifically relate to muzzle loading. Here are some of the items: Two sterling silver flintlock money clips.......

    Full scale cannon re-build

    A while back (October of last year) I posted my adventures in making up a 2.75" reamer to correct a flaw in the bore of my lite six pounder full size cannon. If you missed the thread, here is a link Reamer Made to Correct a Cannon Bore I noted the following in the preamble to that...

    A Tale of Two Little Rifles

    Many years ago now I wanted to build two, three quarter scale flintlock rifles for my then two small daughters. I was buying stock wood and inletting services from Fred Miller back then and contacted him to ask for a piece of excellent maple thick enough to split in half lengthwise so that I...

    Fancy Turnscrew

    A friend made me a shooting pouch and sent it to me as a gift. I asked what I could do in return and he mentioned that he always wanted a fancy turn screw for his guns. So I made this. The blade is machined from 1144 "stress proof" steel.

    Another "dragoon" type pistol

    Several years ago now I had a .58 cal heavy straight sided rifle barrel that was too heavy and too short for me to do much with. I cut off 12 inches and turned it round to make a pistol barrel. I also had a maple pistol stock blank and some castings (butt cap, trigger guard, side plate, etc)...

    Nifty shooting tool...at least I think so...;)

    With every new ML catalog or magazine I have received over the years, I have anxiously looked for new products. But what I was looking for was very specific in that I wanted traditionally styled, well made parts, tools, and accouterments but also something new. I suppose that this was a bit...

    Bullet Boards...and things...

    A while back I made up a pick and brush set with ebony handles that I had posted. I was asked to make a set for a friend of mine and, at the same time, he asked about a bullet board. I had made one up for one of my .50 cal rifles a while back. It was nothing fancy, but I made it out of Kauri...

    Horn powder funnel

    Years ago I needed a powder funnel rather quickly and made one up from the copper shaped charge war head liner of a 2.75 inch rocket (long, non muzzleloading story) and a cut off .308 cartridge. Works fine…not very HC… Had one last tip of an all black horn kicking around on the bench for...

    A couple of Damascus bladed knives

    made a couple of knives some time ago. First one ......... And another...... Also...note to self... sharpen the blade LAST........this one was too sharp to work on, without a lot of band aids! Finished the sheath. Nothing fancy but it will keep me from cutting myself...

    A Kit for a Rifle

    A friend of mine on the ALR site (Marc) made and posted a new shot pouch that I really liked I sent him a note about it and, in a more than generous exchange on his part, I am now the proud owner of said bag. I told Marc that, in keeping with some shooter's habit of setting up a bag, horn, and...

    Two brass swivel guns....

    I started these guns many years ago while I was still in the Navy. They have been sitting under my workbench since 1978. I have been hard over on finishing up some cannon projects that have been hanging fire for too many years now. These guns are about 24 inches long and are currently cast...

    Reamer Made to Correct a Cannon Bore

    I really need another project like I need another root canal......nonetheless, I have begun a refurbishment of the full size cannon I built 50 years ago when I was a junior in high school. Don't ask me why after 50 years I have to do this now, but there are some issues with the gun that have...

    Modifying a lock

    I did some modifications to a Chambers Late Ketland for a half stock rifle I have in the works. Thought I would show you what I did to modify the look the lock. First, the "hook" at the top of the existing cock turns backward. Just personal preference, but I like the look of the "hook"...

    Shooting Accessory Wallet

    When out on a ramble, there are a few items that I feel are prudent to carry in a shot pouch but that are only needed once in a while, if at all. Most of the time I only need round ball, powder, and patches. Nonetheless, at least in my pouch, everything else I am carrying ends up in a jumble...

    Priming (or salt) Horns

    I've made a bunch of fairly plain priming (or salt) horns out of cut off tips of horns that were not good for one reason or another. Then I have made some fancier ones as well....... I like them all......I just never seem to use them for...
