It's not so much that it's hard to do but hard to do well. It's a lot of trial and error on how long you heat stuff and getting the right mixture of bone and wood charcoal from what I've read. I'm not going to spend nearly as much as this kit costs. I've priced it out and it's way cheaper buy it individually.

If you're into collectable guns, swords, knives, ammo all the way to armor, this is a subverse for you. All topics in the field are welcome to include collectable firearms, museum pieces, reproduction arms, historical articles, swords, knives, arrowheads, bows, or even modern black powder firearms, all the related armaments goodies that don't quite fit in the modern gun subs. If it fits in as a weapon, it's welcome.
