Are they related to the mendenhall from pennsy;vanis in the late 1600 to 1700's?

Probably so, because they did come from there. We suggest you contact Mendenhall Homeplace directly for more info: mendenhallhomeplace.com

The cars were doing 60+ MPH the first year they ran at Hobby Park. They moved the start gate down the hill by 1/3rd to keep the speeds under 40MPH.

Thank you. What kind of "detergent" was used? What kind of wax was used? I think those details would be helpful. And, what is the best cloth or whatever tool should be used for the buffing practice? Thank you so much. Looking forward to reading your answers.

Hi Linda, We followed the guidelines and materials for bronze cleaning recommended by the National Park Service in these bulletins: www.nps.gov/museum/publications/conserveogram/10-04.pdf www.nps.gov/museum/publications/conserveogram/10-05.pdf The detergent we used for the bronze is Chemique Ion-417 which we had to order from the Chemique company directly. Orvus is also recommended. The wax is Butchers. For the stone, we used D/2 Biological Solution which is also recommended by the Park Service. For buffing, we use a soft cloth - an old tee-shirt is good. You just don’t want any type of fabric that will shed fibers. Also check out these reputable sources: cemeteryconservatorsunitedstandards.org/beyond-basics/graffiti-a-growing-scourge-upon-our-cemeteries/ (Canada): www.canada.ca/en/conservation-institute/services/conservation-preservation-publications/canadian-conservation-institute-notes/care--brass-copper.html

Great information on some wonderful rifles and examples of the skills of early settlers. I would have liked to see a view of the mortising of the tang into the top of the neck of the stock. All in all, a big thumbs up and subscribe. Thank you sir.

I enjoyed the talk. I just picked up a Appalacian style, but it is a gunsmith made rifle in 45 cal. It looks very similar to yours except it doesn't have a patchbox and it has a cheek rest.

I like the Jamestown and Mecklenburg schools. Not familiar with North Carolina rifles, just Pennsylvania Longrifles. Have to get this book. Old German Jaegers are beautiful too. Shooting good reproductions is a lot of fun based on my personal experience. Looks like 8 Chicoms or Wokesters voted this down. **** them. Great video and book gentlemen.

So what if they read off cards! Why do so many people have to be so critical and judgemental. Even to the point of belittling. Her work was beautiful and I enjoyed the fact that they included explanations and interesting stories about some of the pieces, regardless if it was read or memorized. The level of her craft takes alot more discipline and talent then most of us will ever have.

"Ach du lieber, mein schatz"! Wunnerful video & very educational! But what happened to the Roman Nose & Lehigh Valley (Ruup?) styles? The greatly downward curve to the bottom of the buttstock was a thing of great beauty as was the beautiful curve to the comb!! Even if these rifles had NO BORE HOLE to shoot through (God forbid!!!), they still would be gorgeous things of sculptural beauty! They are nonetheless wonderful pieces of ART, to be "relished" by the eye & felt by the hand!!! The "lust of the eye & the lust of the hand"! "Gesundheit"!
