Welcome!

My lanterns, chandeliers, sconces, and other lighting devices are all handmade using original designs, punch patterns, and features. Even the tools used are tinsmithing tools of over a hundred years ago. Each piece is antiqued, if desired, and fitted with old style glass. The museum quality lanterns and trade guns constructed in the shop are each handmade to the same dimensions and attention to detail as the originals.

As far as trade guns are concerned, I primarily make the north west trade gun.  These are robust, no frills guns that are accurate to a long time period, and most parts can be made in house.

The French Fusil de Chasse will be made on a limited basis, as will other types I make from time to time; such as blunderbuss, pistols, blanket guns and such.  I have been a fan of the versatility and simplicity of the flint lock trade gun, be it English or French, ever since I first came across one.

Each gun will be made in the manner intended by Tulle, Wilson , Ketland , Whately, and others who designed the originals.
