Been trying to get some pheasants with this flintlock shotgun but have yet to succeed. I believe my dogs are starting to question my choice! Was practicing on clay birds today; they also all survived. #hunting #hunt #flintlock #muzzleloader #blackpowder #pheasant #claypigeonshooting

Unfortunately this one has a crack in the handle so another for my personal collection! It is thin and flexible, almost fillet knife like. #knife #knives #chefknife #chef #hunting #fishing #camp #campknife #grovecity #westernpennsylvania
Was given a sheephead mushroom to try for the first time. Excellent with Delmonico steaks from local raised beef! #knife #chefknife #knives #mushrooms #beef #sheephead #blacksmith #bladesmith #homemade
Was going to put some wax on these lag bolts but walked away and the fire got a little hot!! #blacksmithing #blacksmith #forge
Another great time at #quadstate! Put our trap in the gallery and entered the forging contest where we had to make a hummingbird as a team in 20 minutes. Heather and Laken kept me company! Got to talk blacksmithing with lots of great people and meet some folks I follow on social media @crossknives @hemker_blacksmithing @phyreforge @blacksmithtools
Got the lead to just over 700 degrees!
Making an attempt to temper trap springs in a lead bath.
After smoking the last motor, I got this motor hooked up for the coal forge. Made me realize how loud the old motor was.
Weekend Project! My dad and I completed a hand forged trap. #trap #blacksmith #forge #trappers #outdoorsman #homemade #handmade #hunter #trapping #fatherandson #rustic
