The Dead Head Doll | An 18th Century Toy and Thoughts about Death | Memento Mori
Video, Carving and design © Ethan Yazel, 2023
Music: "Oh Death", by Dock Boggs, 1964
I’ve been studying early American artwork over this past year. The artwork created by the colonists is as fascinating to me as any fantasy world. Their world was uncomfortable and often brutal. Their possessions were needed to survive, but they were made as artfully as any contemporary artist would.
“Memento Mori” was a common notion on the frontier, illness, predators and seemingly endless war was always around the corner. Based on the representation of “Memento MorI” on folk art of the time, this drawing combines the lowly colonist with is flintlock rifle with modern notions of the “headless horseman”, o...

A spring loaded patch box lid is a staple of golden age flintlock architecture, and in this video I show you how to make and inlet the lid spring as well as the lid latch spring. It is fascinating to me how complex the engineering on this mechanism is for being 250 years old. To think the original builders had all of this figured out and did it by window and candle light is amazing to me. If yo...

As Mike continues this build, we share some of the process he went through to develop a domed Patchbox lid, as seen on early muzzleloaders. To do this, we make a form tool out of hard maple, first carving the negative half of the form, and then the positive half. Using thin brass sheet, we press and form the lid in an arbor press. Traditionally, forming this box may have been done with a hammer...

    Making a trigger guard, even for a simple .22 bolt, is not that easy to do it right. Nice bending machine. Those aren’t cheap ! You have to be very good to make use of that bender. Difficult to visualize the dies and set up to accomplish shape

    It seems to me that it would be a better idea to put the vent pick on the lock side of the rifle , under the lock somewhere close to where it's needed. Not on the opposite side of the rifle by the cheek piece.

      Good point. Under the cheek piece is a common historical example though.
