Use your imagination. ... then make both parts 150% worse.

Today I saw two Lamborghini Aventadors on The Gardiner. The first went straight onto the QEW. The second took the ramp onto 427 and damned near took my front bumper with him. Thinks that horsepower and paddle shifters are a substitute for shoulder checks and driving skill. I still beat him to...

Powder flask holder finished.

Just watched that this morning :ROFLMAO:

True. I had to go through the normal process of vetting for my restricted license, in order to purchase a pistol that takes 10 minutes to load. Back when I bought it you could buy exactly the same pistol, in New York State, with just your driver's license. EDIT - I know a place that's currently...

I have a 5 pound can of smokeless that's formulated for replacement of black powder.I bought it when I bought the pistol 30 years ago, but have no idea why as I never had any intentions of firing it :ROFLMAO: Same with the caps and 100 lead balls.

It's a replica of a 1861 Colt Navy cap & ball revolver, in .44 cal. I looked into a cartridge conversion, a while back, but turns out it's not a great idea for brass framed revolvers.

I'll need to do some research then. I got my PAL and Restricted cert almost 40 years ago, when there were four levels; PAL, Restricted, Restricted (with transport privilege), and Carry. I've only even met one civilian who had a carry permit. EDIT - The RCMP site states an authorization to...

And shot has a lot less recoil than a solid single ball round. Lots of space for the pressure to escape when fired.

Take a look at the Kentucky Ballistics Youtube channel and you'll understand better. They sat on a weighted sled that allowed for recoil, in much the same way as a naval canon on a sailing vessel would. That, or they would be mounted to a fixed hardpoint on the hull.

Generally loaded with Bird Shot and was used in commercial duck hunting. Could pretty much take down a whole flock with one shot.

If I had bought it to shoot regularly, then I'd have done what Civil War soldiers did; bought a few spare cylinders to load. It takes far less time to knock out the retaining block, slide the barrel off, and swap cylinders than it does to reload.

Kentucky Ballistics, on Youtube, had a custom puntgun made. It fires a one pound ball. I hesitate to think what gauge that is. His thing is large calibre firearms.

Not really something that I would bother timing. I don't have a club membership and my license doesn't include transport, anyway ;)

Weekend project: Cap & ball bag. After that it'll be a powder flask holder (flask is inbound) and a gun belt, for the flask, bag, and holster to go on.

I would recommend giving "Soldier" starring Kurt Russell a watch. Be prepared to pause when they show Todd's military record on screen.

I, on the other hand, quite enjoyed it. It was nice to see the rest of the family get involved more. Catherine ZJ seemed more engaged with her character than she was in season 1. Gomez doing a take-down of the clearly unqualified host at Pilgrim World, in Spanish, was note perfect.

I've already printed a replacement ring for the depth limit on my ancient drill press, for which parts are no longer made. I Conan'd the original one, a while back, when it slipped and was limiting normal motion while I was drilling.

I have an unreasoning hate for Apple, so that one isn't a possibility ;)

I'm thinking of getting a small 3D scanner. Would have come in really hand, a couple of days back, when I had a printer with a broken paper exit guide. That model has one on each side of the paper exit and they're mirror images of each other. Scanning the good one, mirroring it, and then...
