- On Friday, 3 February 2023 I attended the 16th annual 18th Century Artisans Show. This year’s show was held in the Carlisle Expo Center in Carlisle, Pennsylvania, and featured the work of a host of artisans and crafts-people who recreate the artifacts of the 18th century.

Let me the FIRST to say how much I love when you bring is along on these Excursions...!!! Thanks Mr Bellevue
My God, all those muzzle-loading longarms are so beautiful it breaks your heart to look at them! Absolutely incredible, I'd swear I was looking at originals brought back by a time traveler. And all the other crafts as well!
Thanks for bringing us along Mike!
Yes, it is amazing that there are so many fine craftsmen (craftspeople to be PC).
Heart breaking is the right word. Don't know what it is about incredible art that does that, but I love it. Just like falling in love
Thank you so much Mike. I can no longer travel, so being able to be your video sidekick and wander thru these shows with you is wonderful.
I look forward to seeing your videos every week and you never disappoint 🤠 thank you
Thanks!
I'ld be broke pretty quick if I could find a show like that!!
I absolutely love these shows and walk through. You could make three videos of it and it still wouldn’t be enough for me. Maybe a few interviews with the craftsmen, some mention of ballpark price ranges, etc. Facts to get us interested in buying or building a long rifle like you did. These shows fill the long cold winter days when shooting is not possible!
I feel bad for you. It's in the mid-60s here near "Mayberry," NC. Just beautiful!
Ah morning coffee and watching duelist vids great ☕️☕️☕️👍
Fantastic show. I was there most of Friday and I could have spent another full day there. Well done
Superb, excellently informative vid Mike! Thank you
I’m sure everyone watching this video is supremely impressed with the artistry and craftsmanship involved here. It’s just so amazing I wish I had a show like this 8n my area
Thanks Mike, i could definitely spend some time at an event like that!
Thank you for covering the show again. As a pastor I can not take the weekend to attend and look forward to your coverage every year. Good to hear about the French Fusil! I’ve built a few along with their spin off, the New England Fowler. Adam is a good builder and I look forward to seeing the completed article! Cheers!!
Thank you for the coverage of the show. I’m fortunate enough to live close to mark and he is coaching me through my first York build. Amazing man and extremely talented!
Thanks for the tour. Carlisle is a bit closer to me. Good to see that PA is still keeping up its heritage. It is amazing and encouraging to see that there are so many people involved in historical muzzleloading as art, target, reenactment, or hunting. People are missing out when they use modern muzzleloaders just for hunting. The romance is gone. Here in NC, anything goes with hunting muzzleloaders and I cringe at the ones that are really single shot, modern rifles, and especially the scoped ones! However, anything that gets people out to thin out our deer herds is good.
I've always felt that if you don't use a muzzleloader that doesn't look and function like an original then what's the point? But that's just me. Hey, it's a big tent with plenty of room.
G'Day from Australia,
I don't think there have been any gun shows in Australia for around three years since Covid and the restrictions kicked in. What a magnificent display of 18th Century American Artisans work! I wanted to reach into the screen and grab one of the beautiful powder horns to replace the one that I foolishly sold when I gave up muzzleloading around 30 years ago. I still have the firearms and most of the accessories but no powder horn. I've decided that 2023 is the year that I resurrect my muzzleloaders--they were a lot of fun shooting targets and gongs as well as rabbit hunting with shot in my smooth bores.
Thanks for giving us the tour of the artisans show---would have liked to have seen it in person.
Cheers,
Steve
👍 Excellent tour. Thank you.
Good morning from Syracuse NY my friend and thank you for sharing this information and your adventures
4:45 wow Nice German Text on the Stock. Freiheit darf nicht Untergehen = Freedom must not perish. 👍👍👍👍🤗🤗
You did a real good job.I am definetely impressed by the show. Thanks and greetings from Germany......
Good day to you, Sir!
My husband is new to black powder guns, his grandfather had them but now it's his turn. 😊
He has been watching many of the different channels on black powder but has found you to be the absolute most informative. He says to tell you THANK YOU!
So far he has a 50 caliber Hawkins rifle with an 1851 Navy Pietta* pistol kit due to arrive this afternoon. Your videos are so informative for him along with your advice and different little "tricks".
Between severe degenerative COPD, degenerative nerve damage in his neck and back and arthritis, he doesn't have hardly any pain free days. Your videos help distract him from what ails him and for that, I thank you.
Kindest warm regards from the beautiful Pacific Northwest of Washington State! (please don't hold that against us) hahaha
Hi Tammy. I’m glad your husband is getting into the black powder hobby. I hope he enjoys it, and it provides a distraction from his medical problems.
Thank you Mike for another wonderful walk through and narrative. First time I've been to this show and definitely look forward to next year! Keep up the excellent work.
WOW what an amazing show! Wish I lived closer. Sadly I am a 9 hour drive away from there
Wow. Thanks for sharing
Awesome to see you man!💪🇺🇸👍
It was great to see you too
thank you
thank you for the tour!
Wow!
Awesome thanks for the video
The inlay work on these rifle stocks is really outstanding. I don't know how anyone has the patients to
do that work
I helped Roland Cadle and Village Restorations set up on Thursday
Great video Mike
Maybe Mike a drone flyover before people get inside the facility early in the morning, might be in order.
WISH i WOULD HAVE KNOWN ABOUT THAT i WOULD HAVE LIKED TO GO, MAYBE NEXT YEAR.
A few minutes into this video I had to go and get a bib as I was drooling too much. 😁
Cool man cool
You should publish a calendar with photos list all the events for the year so dopes like me could try and make some of them
Mike, these artisans are true craftsmen. They do beautiful work.
They sure do!
😍😍😍😍
A lot of beautiful things. Thanks for share with us Mike.
I thought it was a great show and the venue lays out much better than the old spot, although I do miss the restaurant and other stuff that was at the Country Cupboard. Hoping they keep this spot for coming years, looked like they even had room to add more vendors and makers.
I agree. I miss the restaurant too. A group of us used to meet there for breakfast before the show, and I miss that, but the new venue is only a half hour drive for me, which is nice.
@@duelist1954 Carlisle is only 3 hours for us, Lewisburg was closer to 5. Really glad it didn't go to Atloona like first discussed, would have cut us out from the south altogether.
Amazing craftsmanship on the long guns. 🙀👍❤🙏
I wish wisconsin had this. They used to in the 90s for 2 years then stopped.
Thanks for sharing, Mike.
Really enjoyed this video!
Thanks, Mike. 👍🏼
So sorry I missed this!! Im down near Gettysburg.....soo close!!! Well next year then and thank you for the great preview!!
Another great tour thru a show I will most likely never get too. I do appreciate your time and effort in making these videos as I live in the southwest and can't get to them so this is my only way to see them. This is not a whine, just a statement of facts as they are.
I would love to build a simple working rifle and with this show you have given me the people to supply that dream. Thank you very much.
A lot of nice work there. I love it.
Effective May 1, the Pennsylvania Historical and Museum Commission says it will no longer allow "force on force" reenactments on its sites or in its museums. Those are reenactments "that involve exchanges of weapons’ fire, the taking of casualties, hand-to-hand combat, or any other form of simulated warfare or violence between opposing forces."
I like these old black powder guns, but I do like a pistol grip on a rifle that was first put on rifles in the 1840s, I think. Have a good day.
Your show tour videos, are some of my favorites you post. I have in the past attempted rifle building, my comment is they are functional but not pretty, but they are mine to be enjoyed.
Awesome stuff! Couldnt make it to this show. Dave Keck has a maple blank of mine and a Jaeger barrel I bought, that I have yet to put my eyes on. Hope to have the inletted blank back soon to start work on!
So, I'm torn a bit on the new location. On the one hand it's much closer to me - but on the other hand, I really enjoyed Lewisburg and the Country Cupboard and it's RESTAURANT! No such nice restaurant at the Expo center (that I know of anyway). But hey - it's all good! I had a conflict this year but I'm looking forward to next year. Your "whip-round" version of the show is great and because you know so many of the vendors - that helps as well. Good on ya Mike!
Hey, have you seen the kirst konverter cartridge conversion cylinders with the loading gate. Used any of them? Be neat to see you do a review on one!!
Thank you for the time you took to put this video together - it is a real blessing. My wife and I are in Wisconsin, still firmly in the grip of winter. A QUESTION for you: I want to buy a flintlock muzzleloader that I can use both for shot and ball. Am I better served by a fowler (20 gauge) or smoothbore in .50, .54, or .58 caliber. I appreciate whatever time and insights you can offer me. Thanks again, Sir.
I would not go smaller than .58 caliber to get decent results with shot...I'd say .58 to .62 (20 GA)
at 5:30 those rifles are so cool. Any blunderbusses? I just looked at a kit online for about 400, im gonna put one together lol
I wished I could have been there. Could you please tell me where to find a schedule for up coming shows. I live in Pa. and very much loved to see these shows.
Check out the Smoke & Fire News
Oh My Goodness!.... All these rifles you showed are absolutely Exquisite!....
Oh Wait a Minute..... If I acquire the Stock and all the Hardware to build say a "Pennsylvania Rifle", would that be considered a "Ghost Gun"??..... Pfffffft!... Hahahahaha!.... I'm kidding!....
Where do they advertise shows like this. I would like too attend in person but never here of them until too late.
Check your local paper for something nearby. Talk to the people there, and find out what websites you need to watch for announcements.
@@brettbaker5599 the local paper does not list things like this because we do not have things like this local. The nearest is place that they have shows like this is 70 miles away. And we do not get that News paper here and the other direction they do have a News paper that gets delivered here for at the local gas station. Cost $2.50 for a Sunday paper last time I checked. Makes good fire starter but that is about it.
@@davidkellogg2582 , May I inquire as to wear you reside?
@@andreweden9405 Burley, Idaho. It is a community in Southern Idaho between TwinFalls too the West 50 miles and Pocatello too the East 50 miles or so. Salt Lake City too the South about 150 miles. Sorta out in the middle of no where. Alot of hunters but not many black powder groups. At least very close.
@@davidkellogg2582 That sucks. I would try something like "Mountain Man Rendezvous", "Historical reenactments" followed by "near me". That would be the best thing to try.
I’m sorry I missed out on this. Next year….
Hi Mike those rifles are all beautiful but you never mention prices on any? Do they have tags on them or do they just shoot a number at you when looking at one? I know they are all different but average for the more adorned ones like the over the top Germanics i would like to know if possible, Thanks.
Most of the rifles at the show are not for sale. Usually they are rifles that the builder’s clients have loaned back to them to display at the show. If you like the rifles displayed by a particular builder. You commission him to build one for you. The price will depend on how in demand the builder is, and what features you want on your rifle. Prices will run from about $3,000 up to $20,000 depending on the builder, and how fancy you want the gun.
Mike what's up with all the jean and shoe shots
What is a foozy? Sounds like good video material
Fusil...French style flintlock smoothbore
All of these items but most especially the firearms and the accoutrements with their amazing craftsmanship on display is probably why modern made guns have no appeal to me.
