Good video. I enjoyed it a lot. Want to save yourself a little aggravation? I noticed your base seemed to be slightly tapered from the inside of the horn to the outside. That's good. When you get close boil the base of the horn in water. That will soften it and you will be able to drive the base into the horn. The horn will shrink and you won't have any of those open gaps to worry about and you won't need the epoxy. I made a horn like that 40 years ago and it's never leaked and my powder has never gotten damp. I made my staple pretty much the same way as you did. I pinned the base into the horn the same way too, except I used whittled wooden pegs instead of nails.

In place of a staple I always used a large threaded plug to which the strap is attached. The plug works to unscrew and insert powder into the horn.

For drilling pin holes. Tape around horn base. Measure around horn base and decide how far apart pins need to be so they are even (Example, measurement around was 7.5 inches, pins look good to me at 3/4 an inch intervals, so I mark then drill 10 holes at 3/4 inch intervals). Remove tape, put pins in holes.... I would have used the head end of the nails, cut nails look great and add legitimacy to replicas of older items... Nice looking horn.

Ok, non muzzle loader here (yet). Since you've glued, and pinned the plug into the horn. How much of a chore is it to fill the horn with powder through the spout?

CA: It's not a 'chore". But it probably takes perhaps five minutes or so. Remember, this sn't modern high speed warfare, and the frontier man carrying this rifle isn't going into combat.

At your final point, which is nice, you could order a brass measuring spout to fit right to the horn.

I like the way that you did this horn and I have a problem non 2 horns that I have one is for a powder horn that I want to make and the other is for one that I bought. The one that I bought is supposed to be fully functional with a powder measure spout on it but it does not seem water tight and when I blow thrue the spout with the valve open it leaked air from the plug end. Slightly how so I make this water tight or is it supposed to do so? And the one t h at I am making the open end where the plug goes needs to be cut square for the plug. What should I use or can I use a Drexel tool also I would like to make a wood screw plug. ccin the plug for filling the horn with powder how do I do this. I am an avid outdoors man Ang getting back into black powder hunting and want to make a lot of my own tools and horn for this I have a kit that I purchased for a rifle and am making my own shooting bag. I don't mind cheating on somethings and go with modern materials for some things but want my horns to be fully functional and keep my powder dry how do I seal them properly? Also what is the best wood to use for the plunge both at the spout and bottom end

ID raise the staple toward the upper part of the horn so as to balance it better let the weight drag the horn down Staple on the upper part of the but plate!

Another simple way of making a staple is to use a romex (electrical wire) staple. You can buy them at Lowe’s, Home Depot, and most hardware stores. I heat them up with a simple propane or map gas torch, twist it 360 deg. and dip it in motor oil and it comes out looking old and forged. Your comiting blasphemy again, they didn’t have 5 minute epoxy back then. Of course they didn’t romex staples either, so I guess I’m just as guilty😬

The whole idea of “ handmade”, at least in my opinion, is yours won’t look exactly like every one else’s. Individualism is important. If everyone looked exactly alike they would look more like soldiers than mountain men. It was a good winter job for them when they were waiting for the greenup.

Instead of the little wood plug take the end you cut of and drill a whole and put a wood rod in it just a little better looking

5 minute Epoxy is not period correct, try some Pine Pitch. And Brass / copper were easier to work back in the day so it was more likely to be used by the common man.
