18th Century Artisans Show 2024

[@TheGunfighter45acp]

Well done! I always enjoy it when you take us with you to these shows. 👍👍

[@pamtnman1515]

I enjoyed talking with you at the Artisan’s Show, Mike. Hope you get better and win your case.

Some really nice items in your video, I have a handmade .72 Fowler. I was at the right place at the right time and ask the Gunmaker if he had a gun that was already made for sale. He has a very long waiting period. And I could see his mind working on something, then he said "No"" I make every gun individually. But, and again I saw the wheels turning. I do have a gun I may sell. It was his own gun. He said he was going to move down to a 45 from the 72. As soon as he sent me the photos, I bought it on the spot. Because in all his advertising photos was that very gun. His hunting pics and video, there it was. His personal gun. I figured how could I go wrong. I've never shot it either. It hangs under my Wall Hanger, and everyone walks right up to both and just stares. I had him put in a recessed patch box, even if it wasn't period correct. He has a Gobblers foot for every Turkey he killed with it on the barrel. You have to pay to play. There is one more gun I want ,but it'll have to be made . I'm wanting a .45 cap lock with modern rifle sights on it. No guessing where the ball is going to hit, deadly accurate but old school simple. Any ideas???? If you do , I'd sure appreciate the lead. Most gun makers are funny as hell about what they make. Which really is a shame. I'm wanting curly maple muzzleloader look, but with modern sights. I like Purdy rifles. Old school look, with modern day accuracy. Thanks in advance for your trouble.

My favorite century

[@chpet1655]

I love these videos ! As I’ve said before there’s nothing like this where I live and once again thank you Mike. Though I guess you had tons more fun just going there. Omg those antler flasks are just gorgeous !

[@99dsm1]

Great show from what you have shown Thanks

[@theflintlockhunter5423]

Always a great show to attend. I was there and still enjoy watching the video afterwards!

[@noapologizes2018]

Absolutely fantastic show. I wished there were a show such as this one down south. If there is, I have no idea where. But I can't see anything like this show to compare. And as it might be, it looks like I will need to take a trip to Pa. next year. Thank you Mr. Mike for sharing this great event.

[@johnlea8519]

Craftsmanship and artistry combined, wonderful video Mike.

[@joemolf3894]

Mike the community is so lucky to have you thanks for all you do great video!

[@RichardScheid-b2f]

Thanks for a great tour of the show Mike .

[@donfullbright8468]

Great information

[@bobhartman2571]

Thank you, Mike. Appreciate your channel. You know what would be nice, if before a show you attend occurs, could you please announce when/where the show is occurring. Thanks!

[@isaal-magyari9203]

I love the shooting video but artisan fair videos are excellent too,thank you

[@FiReInMyBoNeS9711]

Thanks for the video Mike!

[@daveyjoweaver6282]

Thank You Kindly Mike! You always do great tours and reviews and demos! My favorite Rootin Tootin Shootin Channel with superb histories! I saw your video from last year and I was determined to get to next years. Well I had no idea it was going on. Now indeed, I am located just 2-3 miles from the Slumbering Ground Hog Lodge with Octoraro Orphic checking for shadows. However I would have been there had I known. Perhaps you or someone did a video about the show before it took place. Is there a mailing list by chance of these events and similar events? I do receive pow wow schedules. What a fine bunch of craftsman and artisans! So Thanks again Mike and Many Blessings! Keep your powder muzzled,,,,,on the range of course. DaveyJO in Pennsylvania (also a 50s child) And you know I’m very thankful to have grown up in the 50-60s . I grew up in Strasberg and we had 3 general stores, a butcher,baker and we knew all the neighbors. People were of service to each other and the Amish still used their sleighs when it snowed. I remember well the snow of 1958 when we had no school for over a week. Bike rides in the country and no fears of pedos or getting shot in a farmers field, woods and often were able to fish their ponds. Used to take our guns to school for hunting seasons. Even sharpened my pencils with my pocket knife by the teachers desk. Anyway, I have a Love for simpler times and a Love of history. Yes I over buttoned Mike but you always bring out good things by your works and I’m very grateful!

[@GeorgiaRidgerunner]

man i wish one of these shows would come to my town of course id probably spend all my money

[@earlshaner4441]

Outstanding job brother

[@galenhisler396]

[@ricktaylor5744]

Thank you Mike. That's a great collection of art, and artist. Thanks for the tour.

[@davefellhoelter3299]

[@ronaldomello4463]

Muito legal. Gostei.

[@earlshaner4441]

Good evening from Syracuse NY brother and thank you for sharing your adventures my friend

[@waynehendrix4806]

I was reminded by some of the audio, that it's easier to pass a camel through the eye of a needle, than to drive through Duncannon. I always like to drive the speed limit, in order to win the praise of those following me. Sorry I didn't put this show on my calendar last month.

[@robertcurns3845]

thank you for the tour. Wanted for years to get there,,maybe someday. Thanks again,,hope to meet you at Ft.Loudon!

[@chrisgibson6960]

Beautiful craftsmanship on everything. Looked like a great time. 👍

[@D33Lux]

I love shows like these with the antiquities. Its good to see artisans and craftsmen/craftswomen still making things. I could watch an hour long vid and still not get enough.

[@jeffgrier8488]

Thanks for the tour Mike, i really appreciate it! I've definitely got to make it there.

[@jeffshootsstuff]

Oooo that left-handed Hawken-type is calling my name

[@terryschiller2625]

Hi Mike,what a beautiful show! I wish it was a little closer to East Tennessee. But if it was I believe I'd be broke after I walked out. Thanks for sharing Mike

[@jindlespog8045]

Thank you! I love seeing authentic antique long rifles.

[@tomcurran8470]

Thanks Mike. Even though I'm a Bucks County native, I wouldn't know about these activities in PA without your vids. I'd like to attend next year, about a 6 hour drive from "Mayberry." FYI, there's a list of exhibitors on their FB page.

[@debluetailfly]

And all this wonderful craftsmanship was done by hand before the advent of power tools! Hand tools can be so efficient when properly used. I wish more people would develop real skills and have appreciation for craftsmanship.

[@ol1guy994]

Wow that would be great to see, thanks for sharing

[@markraymond3198]

Looking good Mike!! Love your channel you do a great job!!

[@rebeccaback3287]

Excellent video usual! Like the guns and other displays there are a work of art! I would like to go one of these shows! My third great grandfather would be 218 years old if living.He was a black smith carpenter and made Kentucky rifles and other kinds of gun's.I will follow in his footsteps.David Back from Menifee co KY.

[@vincentcervantes7215]

This is fantastic Mike! Where might there be a list of other shows/events like this in the U.S. ?

[@brianmcgilp8519]

Damn! I forgot about this show otherwise I would have been there. Thanks for a great video Mike. I'll make sure I keep this one on my calendar.

[@stevesmolik24]

Thank you Mike for another wonderful video. I want to attend these events and the 18th Century events at the various forts, only to find out from your videos they occurred one to two weeks ago. Is there a listing for all future events available somewhere?? If you know when and where, would you please announce them in your next video! Thank you!

[@johnduffant9694]

Thank you for sharing a great video. I was wondering why these artists don’t come out west, Idaho Montana....

[@bibbyman2]

Looking forward to you test of old powders. I've often wondered how they produced and transported gun powder in the Civil War. Must have consumed train car loads for each battle.

[@MatthewRaymond-zn9md]

Thanks Mike. Wonderful video. The Carlisle show is a little too distant for me to attend from here in Nashville, but I get a good taste of it at the annual CLA show in Lexington, KY. Also the Kentucky Rifle shows in Northern Alabama and Knoxville, TN are great. I am thoroughly impressed by the artistry and craftsmanship at these shows. Matt

[@win1885]

Always enjoy these videos, Mike. I only saw one left handed rifle. It was a Hawken style laying across someone's table. Can't remember if it was flint or not.. Tom Ireland.

[@Tornado1861]

The gunpowder test sounds very interesting!

[@natemoore1778]

Thanks for including a few shots of my work at the end there. Saw you come by but wasnt able to say hi

[@JamesSmith-mz9ec]

Some nice stuff there, Thanks Mike!

[@danclas5983]

What an awesome display of sensory overload. Thanks for the look Mike.

[@Schlachtschule]

Wow, another marvelous show! Some of those rifles were stunning (although that modern target rifle was jarring), as always; I think 18th-century longrifles must be the most beautiful of all firearms. I was very pleased to see the the Rev War leather helmet at the beginning--I almost never see those!--but the central European Stag powder flaks were the absolute star of the show to me. I am in awe. Thank you very much for sharing.

[@Tammy-un3ql]

Well done! 👍👍👌👌

[@jacobyoung3045]

I can’t wait to see the new Fusil in action!

[@chrisbrown4002]

Hi Mike, thanks for another great video showing this years 18th Century Artisans Show. The fantastic selection of different wares leaves me drooling and as you say not everything has to cost an arm and a leg. As a guideline, what does an ornate Long Rifle cost ? I assume some can be bought on the day whereas others need to be ordered for future collection much as you did. Cheers Chris

[@happymark1805]

Great video, and nice show there, saw some nice examples of bags, and I need to make one of those that goes with my 1858 dutch snider, over in europe it is hard to find some original looking stuff

[@darkwater1967]

Very nice...we don't have any shows like that out West...

[@TM-ev2tc]

I wish they could have invented a flintlock rifle in the 18th century with pistol grips. I really like pistol grips on a rifle.

[@thatsthewayitgoes9]

Thanks Mike

[@T-Man252]

My late grandfather had my 2nd great grandfather powder horn he actually used early in the Civil War,it was just a plain horn but nice color to it...sadly it is no longer in the family, lost to who knows where

[@Pitchlock8251]

Dam those antler flasks are amazing.

[@timsmith9169]

Nice video,only had to turn that noise down at the end

[@Lucontheman]

Hi Mike, just to let you know I am not being notified of your videos, I check every Thursday, but wanted you to know

[@hettro-cv6082]

Great video! I wish I knew about this in advance.

[@johndutcher2446]

Very nice!

[@jamesvatter5729]

With the speed he turns out his flintlocks, I'm petty sure Adam Daub never sleeps! LOL

[@18thCenturyArms]

I get plenty of sleep hahah

[@JG-six-gun]

Great video as always

[@burnsboysaresoldiers]

Where can i find these kind of shows in my state? North Carolina? I want a Lancaster smooth rifle so bad. So i need to go to a show

[@wayneblair288]

A lot of nice toys. Love it.

[@hoosierhandgunner6232]

Mike, I'm thinking of getting in to muzzle loaders. What's a good beginner long gun?

[@Bayan1905]

If you just want a gun to shoot, I've had really good luck with my Traditions Kentucky rifle. It's .50 and if you want you can get it in either percussion or flintlock. I have the flintlock version and its a lot of fun to shoot.

[@wagon9082]

Good Video

[@kurtmurray-cameron4354]

Any way you could give links to vendors?

[@keithmoore5306]

hey Mike can you tell me where i can find some ball molds for the shooting bag? all i can find is the Lee shop molds!

[@jeffshootsstuff]

"No children, hides, pets, or furs taken in trade." LOL

[@earlshaner4441]

Yeah I love my brown bess smooth bore muzzleloader that I got for Christmas

[@M.M.83-U]

This is a dream, ypu can enter in your pijamas and exit fully kitted out.

[@nicklewis7291]

Was that Hickok45, cool.

[@alsatful]

An image search shows that can to be around 1924 but I have no clue

[@bradwalden1220]

Anyone have contact info for TR Kelly Gunmaker?

[@silverknight674]

Check out the Kalamazoo living history show

[@maddog45auto66]

Mike, that won't do pont 3F black powder.Can it's worth about a $140.00

[@earlshaner4441]

😅❤

[@olskool3967]

the hazard Kentucky black powder i would say the late 1800s the Dupont is likely the mid 1920s,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

[@josephsawicki9335]

Wow that's really fantastic mike how much did you spend from your patrion legal cash horde in this venture that will show up as a video of a new toy next month Hmm? with 90,000 new IRS agents is any of that free cash under any scrutiny? or is it free income.
