If you want to blow into the barrel,cut off a foot and drill holes to make it into a fife!! They actually did make a few old musket barrels into fifes back then. A handy piece of tubing for a soldier who had few available tools to use.

Mr. Dunbar runs a school for Windsor chair making. I did not see anything about gun barrels. Must be someone else. It was somewhere else that i read part of what makes old cast steel blades great was the forging process. Working a blade repeatedly with a hammer could improve the grain structure. then i guess you had to fold it on itself because it got too thin. The author was not talking about the Damascus process.
