Seen some sweet twister flints Pics mostly

I've been rebuilding various kits lately, donations of some pretty sorry kits haha. Still looking for more I've been working on getting my grandfathers tools up to snuff, the old but goodies, and thats been an education I tell ya. I may have to get my own bit set up for the mill as his stuff will not do much for me, Oh well . Till I start building from scratch I'm customizing entry lvl ML's with rebuilt locks and file work. Still haven't made my "Browning Coffin" but I'll worry about that when the metal needs done ...

I started talking to a few re enactors about period correct camp life, Shaving came up and they never thought about it, but boy where they interested in learning So now I'm also getting razor historical info together to add to my shop ideas. It's going to end up as a trading post I just now it
