Cleaned off the 'work bench' to at least see the top so I can restart casting. Thought that I had 2 casting pots but was wrong. </Feces>. Titan Reloading to the rescue it seems.
Found a separate Harbor Freight box to transport musket caps & powder. Emptied the RYE adult beverage bottle last night for the traditional Orthodox New Year. Washed it out, took a box cutter blade I found, scraped the labels off, and transferred the special sauce of isopropyl alcohol, Murphy's Oil, & H2O2 from a couple of the flip top bottles to it as an extended holding container to free up a couple of the flip top ale bottles. They're upside down on the shelf. One is getting the sewing machine oil from the old garment plant into it, another is getting Mobil 1 oil, and don't rightly recall at the moment for the 3rd.
Got in this afternoon the last 2 Case Gard shotgun boxes to start filling with the cartridge tubes for this upcoming N-SSA season. They came in too late in the day and had already started on adult fermented beverages; so, that has to wait until sunrise.
Called my cousin back in Louisiana to see if he got ahold of the guy across the road that has the 2 acre patch of bamboo. Some of those stalks are about 4" diameter at the base. Going to cut sections out, dry, polish, temper with running a BernzOmatic flame across it to give some color, scribe "Acme Powder Company" and a coyote on it, varnish, and add Tresco brass fittings for use was a black powder container. Going to do several while I'm at it. Yeah, I watched too many cartoons on Saturday AM.
Found an online vendor that has brand new Armi 1842 smoothbore muskets. Am so tempted to pull out the plastic money and just order the D@#% thing to get that N-SSA event covered. But I'm in so deep now with the project with original parts to stop now.
