Still working on plans for the loading stand V2; haven't started actually cutting wood yet. Sigh.

Spent the last many days studying for my final doctrinal exam for ordination.
What does that have to do with muzzleloaders? Nothing...but it means that when I pass on Tuesday I get to spend some time with my fusil before late season starts here!

Been thinking I may treat myself to a small flint pistol as a "final shot" if needed. I like what you've done there.

i rasped , filed, scraped, the cherry stock butt flush with the butt plate. thi cherry stock is the hardest wood i have ever made a stock from. most places. in a couple spots it is soft so i need to be cautious.
started making a mainspring to replace the one i blew up on the Haddaway,
cut stock out of a 10 inch saw blade. got it roughed out. tomorrow will finish shaping then polish and heat treat. or not. may stay in bed instead.

Thank you.
Good wishes on your test!
Hauled a bunch of firewood out to my campsite for tomorrow's camp/shoot.
I want to spend my time shooting & cooking meat, not chopping wood.

Tried to polish the bore on my New Englander. Got tired of that and scraped some on the Cherry stock.
Then started cleaning the iron trigger guard.
Got double tired of that and sat down with my laptop to have a relaxing evening telling tales with you guys.
Laptop self destructed, taking all my pictures, the draft of a book I tried writing, and worst of all, all my stored pass words to everything in the world. Think I will go shoot something. Did I ever tell you guys the only thing I hate worse than fitting a butt plate, is technology?
Lucky I have this iPad to use getting my muzzloader fix today.

Take your device to a good technician, deerstalkert. They'll recover the data that stored on the hard drive and transfer it for uploading.Tried to polish the bore on my New Englander. Got tired of that and scraped some on the Cherry stock.

All that appears lost, will still be there. Still, go and shoot something by all means; it'll make you feel better!
Cheers, Pete

thanks for the advice. i will see if i can find someone. just spent all evening trying to see if i could get one of the many old obsolete laptops up and running. this one i am using is a macbook air with a dead battery. works as long as its plugged in. of course it unplugs itself at the worst times.
keeps me sharp working on these dang things. rather work on my rifle builds.
All of my crashed computers (used to be TV's) are turned into 100 yard targets, without the hard drives.
Nice!! Looks great.
