Building Patch Boxes: a Muzzle Loading Firearm Project for the Home Shop

A step-by-step walk through of building three types of patch boxes for muzzle loading firearms from scratch, using only tools commonly found in a home workshop, and easily obtained materials. This book covers building a four-piece patch box, a captured lid patch box, and the smaller cap box. The building process is explained in detail, so that anyone can follow along and build a patch box of their own. Emphasis is placed on building an original, one-of-a-kind patch box and not on simply copying a pattern. The entire process, for each style of patch box, is covered in detail in the text and in full-color pictures.

Glen Davis builds things in his spare time. He has only recently started writing books about the things he builds. It was a natural process, as he has a Master's degree in creative writing that he wasn't really using. He writes fiction as well, although none published where you can find it, maybe in the future. His interests are in building historical arms, building and repairing musical instruments, and fixing old rusty stuff,
