[Sca-cooks] Drinking horns for kids

[Saint Phlip]

Christy, check into black powder shops in your area. Often they'll
have powder horns and the makings for considerably cheaper than Tandy
does- that's where I'd look. They might just have some "seconds" that
they might even be willing to give you, if you explain your project.
Most black powder people are pretty cool, and like turning kids on to
different aspects of their hobby. Might also look at the local Agway
or equivalent. They often will sell the nub horns for doggie chew toys
for very cheap- and they're another good group for giving things to
kids.

Heat it up
Hit it hard
Repent as necessary.

Has anyone seen my temper?
I seem to have misplaced it at Stalag XXXV....
