Penny Pincher danny is a stickler for quality and makes some fine guns they are on the edge of being custom guns more than semi production guns---he builds and shipps about 1 gun a day but in order to do that he does a bunch at one time like barrels---100 at a time stocks the same and locks the same---so that he has good controll of the process then the final assembly id just putting in the interchangable parts---in his guns that are in the white he actually assembles the guns then disassembles it and ships it ---he does this to insure proper fit and function--- hope that helps---he has a very high quality product and stands behind his guns as he makes all the parts he pours his own waxes and has a small foundry that is close that does his castings ---all of his castings are lost wax---some of you guys that are building guns should look at the parts as it takes very little finish work to get a quality butplate or trigger guard or side plate and all are engraved so that adds to the charactor of the gun you are making---he has a new pistol that is relly something very period correct and beautiful likes for the time period---he has a web site but does not have a computer to recieve e-mail---hope to fix that for him soon---- Just My Humbel opinion of course---!!!!!!!!!!!!

I just read about it's use historically in a quote that I think Angela may have passed on to us about how tarps used to protect goods carried via Voyager Canoe/Mackenze boat through Canada were treated. All it said was that the goods were covered with tarps water proofed or treated "with corn oil and animal fats". I too have used the linseed and Burnt Umber oil paint along with bee's wax and it works but seems to give varying results and makes the material heavy and brittle if not done just right. That's why I picked up on the reference to useing corn oil. What kind of oil is used to treat the "oil cloth" used in making Astrailian Drifter Coats, etc.? Corn oil and perhaps some wax to give a bit of body and longevity? Perhaps that is the great secret of the last year of the 20th Century! I'm going to give it a try the next chance I get. I think I will dye the fabric a dark color and then treat it with the oil and wax blended hot. I remain..... YMOS Capt.

I make bread from scratch, why > not a tent? Victoria, Can't be that hard. I looked in my "favorites" thinking I remembered a site that had some little info and couldn't find it. You might quiry the list. If you look at someone else's wedge you will see the basic seams that are used and the basic construction particularly where it needs to be reinforced and where tie points need to be. I would stay away from gromets even if you do it correct and sew them in. I find tie points and loops of small line sewn on work great for stakes and such. I have not made a wedge but have made a couple leantos and it really is nothing more than figuring out the shape and how to get that shape out of your material. You use either flat felled seams or simple lapped seams with double row stitiching. The loops are just layed on with the tag ends inward and stitch them down. Nothing to it. Of course I am a man and men make the best sail makers and tailors so you might want to get close to a handy fella to show you the ropes. Naw, you can do it. Have fun and if there really is a question you have just post it to the list and many of us will jump in with ideas that have worked for us. I remain..... YMOs Capt.
