    Testing out the miniature Coehorn mortars my friend and I made.

    Here's some videos from the tests. It was a lot of fun. Made the mortar barrels on my lathe from cold-rolled steel. They are .35 caliber and here we are firing them with pyrodex. Had a little trouble working up a blank load with a good report using the pyrodex, but wrapping a little flour in...

    I had a great teaching opportunity this weekend.

    I went camping with a few friends. It was me and my wife, a buddy and his wife and another buddy and his boy of 12. We were in a very isolated spot in the mountains and I took a .22 rifle to plink around with. (A CZ 452, in case anyone was wondering.) Well, the boy had never shot before, his...

    Rust removal the quick and painless way.

    I wouldn't hold it against anyone who was skeptical of the claim that a stainless steel pot cleaner was one of the most effective and scratch-free rust removal tools there was. I have tried everything to remove rust, with varying degrees of success. Before this, the best thing I had found had...
