[QUOTE="Terrier, post: 5648841, member: 1021"] Yessir! Been very busy the last few weeks making stuff so I can be well equipped on Saturday... BTW, that's not a work bench. That's my stairwell to the basement and the gun vise I built just sitting on top of the railing to make for a nice background :) - Couldn't find any caps to buy for my Hawken, so I got the [B]Kibler SMR .40[/B] and built that. - I've always thought my old horn was way too big and have been wanting to make a smaller one, so I made a new [B]powder horn[/B]. It holds just under a half pound of FFFg. Enuf for about 60 shots with the .40... I made the Black and white one about 30+ years ago. Holds near 2 lbs of powder. [ATTACH type="full"]182298[/ATTACH] - My old powder horn and possibles pouch were more or less one unit, so I made a new [B]possibles pouch[/B]. (rifle for scale) [ATTACH type="full"]182299[/ATTACH] [ATTACH type="full"]182300[/ATTACH] - Needed another [B]round ball bag[/B], so I made one of those. [ATTACH type="full"]182301[/ATTACH] - The ball starter I had for my .50 Hawken was too big for the SMR, so made a new [B]ball starter [/B]for the .40 cal. [ATTACH type="full"]182302[/ATTACH] - Never had a flintlock before, so made a [B]flint wallet[/B]. ( no pic yet) - New caliber, so I made a new [B]loading block[/B] for the .40 (The original speed loader!) (old ball starter in the pic) [ATTACH type="full"]182303[/ATTACH] - On tonight's agenda is a new [B]antler powder measure[/B] for the 50 grain load I'm using in the .40... I have a brass one, but I prefer antler measures. and, I'll probably whip out a new [B]vent pick[/B]. It's amazzzzzzing what you can get done when the TV stays off... [/QUOTE]
