    Dragoon

    Since you fellows have been having such a good time with Walkers and their kin, I decided to wander a couple blocks to Thunderstick Trading here in Tucson and take a look at what they had. There were specimens of just about every Colt cap-n-ball ever made. Felt like a kid in a candy store...

    Dark Lady

    Here are some photos of Dark Lady, my Jakob Dickert Pennsylvania long rifle, built from a TOW kit. All of the iron work is heavily browned. The stock is much darker in person, with only faint red undertones. I went a little nuts on the carving and am very satisfied with the results. The lock ia...

    Close one

    I've been making excellent progress on the Dickert rifle that I got from Via Lupus (Track of the Wolf). Inlays are done, stock carved, sanded, whiskered and finished. The barrel dovetails were done early in the progress, and so yesterday I knocked them out to start draw-filing and polishing the...

    Jakob Dickert rifle

    Well. I've taken the plunge! Last week I had a very successful knife show in Pasadena. Taking some of my ill-gotten gains, I have ordered a Dickert rifle kit in .50 calibre from the good folk at Track of the Wolf. With the extras and the graving tools that I needed (It's been over 30 years since...

    Shooting bag

    Been meaning to make one of these for years, but never got around to it. When our fearless leader Claude posted a pattern for a shooting pouch, it seemed like a good time to get started. Naturally, being an inveterate tinkerer and hard-core leather worker, it wasn't possible for me to leave...

    Neo-Tribal Bowie

    Here's my latest Bowie, a decidedly Neo-Tribal Metalsmith knife. The foot-long blade is 5160, etched with ferric chloride to show off the differential hardening, as well as to antique it. The "Ha'penny" crossguard I forged from mild steel and browned, as is the buttcap. Both have filework. The...

    Voyageur's blade

    IMG]http://i188.photobucket.com/albums/z25/cprokopp/Voyageur2.jpg[/IMG] Here's my latest: a neat little French trade knife with a rawhide sheath. The roach belly blade is 5 inches long and forged of 5160, etched to antique it. The grip is quarter-sawn white oak. I'll be cranking out a series of...

    Customized Deringer

    Customized Deringer Now that I've figured out how to post images, here's my latest project. It started its existence as a Deer Creek Philadelphia Deringer kit. it's a good little pocket pistol, but esthetically it left a lot to be desired. The lines are only vaguely like those of Henry...

    Good morning

    Just an introduction of your humble. My name's Charles Danesti Prokopp of Tucson. Besides smoking up the place with front-stuffers, I'm an actor, bladesmith and cordwainer. Doing things the hard way is a habit of mine: I've never purchased an off-the-rack muzzleloader, preferring instead to...
