No, I’m not talking about the Colt SAA. I’m talking about […]
Making a 15th century Hand Gonne
Last Spring I made a 14th century style Hand Gonne from bronze stock using minimal tools and equipment, just to see what was possible. That project turned out to be a big success, and the resultant hand gonne has been popular among friends and when I taught last year’s workshops on “Primitive Black Powder Firearms” […]
Bringing Light Over Heat to the EDC Podcast (Light Over Heat #70)
The deadline for completing my Gun Curious book manuscript is hanging over my head like a guillotine. With decreasing confidence, I am hoping to finish the job before it drops.
