Now that winter is here, I know that a lot of people go into craftsman mode and start making stuff. I attached a few things that I have done lately and I hope there are others here that will put some stuff up. I have done up a new flint wallet with tool pouch. I also have been making the 1857 Milward needle packages along with the 1860 Colt Navy ammunition packages.
The bullets are always fun to make. Even though I have been at this for 20 years, I have still taken a lot of advice from the old timers as well as archived a lot of articles written by the other guys on the subject. From there, I looked over original examples and try to improve it every time I make these. The bullets are molded from an original Colt Conical mold and encased in a combustable paper envelope made from lightweight onionskin paper soaked in potassium nitrate.
Like I said, I am interested in seeing projects from the other guys here so don't be shy.
