Title: Ohio people?
Post by: Willbarq on October 01, 2015, 06:51:35 AM: Since I am new here, I wondered how many of you happen to be in Ohio and build? I know there are a few, but who else? Creeping along on my first build(s).

I am not in Ohio, but in Western Pa. I will be at Schoenbrunn Village Fair Oct 17 - 18, near New Philadelphia, Ohio. Stop by and visit.

I'm really close to Defiance! I am thinking they should rename the city "Fort Defiance" just like "Fort Wayne"

Send the stock and barrel to someone who does this kind of work. It is money well spent! ;)

I just wanted to say--this put a smile on my face. A very kind and welcoming offer! It was a similar offer from Gaeckle that got me into this hobby and it's great to see that that spirit is still around! Kudos.

Title: Re: Ohio people?
Post by: oldtravler61 on October 11, 2015, 03:36:06 PM: Sz I would be very interested in your tutorial also. If you don't mind. There are so many members here. That can do so much an be able to show us pilgrims how to do it. Thanks to all. Being from Northern Michigan theres not even a blackpowder shop anywhere. Envy those that have a shop nearby.
Title: Re: Ohio people?
Post by: delivered on October 13, 2015, 01:12:09 AM: The offer in Fremont is still open!
Just give me a call when you want to come over.
I will be at the "Gun Show" in Fremont at the fair grounds this weekend.
Good excuse to go to a gun show!!!
Stop by and say Hi.
