Look What Came In The Mail Today
« on: January 25, 2019, 02:58:38 PM »
Lonewolfe20 sent me this very nice engraved brass powder measure today. :hairy
My picture taking doesn't do it justice at all, but I wanted to share this with all of you. It's to nice not to share this fine work Jake did! It will get used my friend.  :shake

He's even got my name on it, "Ohio Joe"

Thank you so much Jake, I appreciate it, and it will get used and with lots of bragging on this fine engraving you did.  :shake :toast

Thanks again my friend! :bl th up

Ohio Joe went out of his way years ago and sent me a video set on muzzleloader building that I have just been able to repay the favor
Hope you can use it my friend
Glad you like it.

You know, I've always viewed all of us in this sport/hobby as one big family, not only here at the TMA but also at any traditional muzzleloading event. I think we're all pretty darn lucky to know one another and have this common interest on this road we travel. There just isn't a better group of folks you'll ever meet then those that follow the path of the patched ball and drift of the black powder smoke.  :shake

Thanks again Jake  :shake

This may sound a bit philosophical to the newcomers of this wonderful hobby of ours.....but it ain't. It's fact.
