  1. Here's a shot of the hand spike, fid, I mentioned yesterday. This one is about 8" long. Made from poplar.
  2. For what it's worth, I just finished turning my 1st 8" marlin spike. I'll post a pic soon as I get it stained and oiled.
  3. Hot off the bench! Bandolier with shot bag and 10 chargers This is the set w/out my big self Be grateful that I didn't show the profile shot, (my cameras broken it adds waaaaay more'n 10 lbs)
  4. This is the first incarnation of the shot bag, I've seen different sizes, but something along this line seems to be the most common: The material behind is for a different project, Victorian Smoking Hat
  5. I just started first bandolier yesterday will post a pic of progress soon's I get me shot bag satifactory. Probably late this evening.
  6. Where does one *find* a wide-brim high-crowned Dutch hat? I'd even settle for an ECW-era hat, but cannot find one for love or money. Mike the closest I've seen may very well be a CW Hardee hat, that's gonna be pretty close. Probably enough for horseshoes or hand grenades. The crown's not quite as narrow but the hat is tall. If need be, guess what, I can get those too. Jim
  7. This bunch iks goin' out the door for $8.00 each, there's 11 shots at 120gr and the primer I made to hold 180 gr. These will go out "unfinished" ready to stain or seal or paint. PM me for more details. Jim
  8. Here's a complete set, just have to cut them open and drill them out. Sorry for the crummy lighting.
  9. The brass sleeve on this batch is being cut to hold 120 grains, with the way I'm makin' 'em I can customize the charge for a specific need. They all hold way more powder than I'm used to makin' rounds for. In CW we typically use 60 gr, that's what I've makin' pre rolled rounds for the last 10 years. But as I said whatever the weapon needs that's what I can do. Jim
  10. being a surgeon you should have no difficulties performing the operation, after all it's not brain surgery.
  11. Here's some pics of a batch I'm working on now. This one I made from a dead branch in the backyard I believe it's Magnolia. Lots of branches from the tropical storms leftover in the yard by the last owners. the coloring is unusual.
  12. They are a lightweight and yes that is green. Kinda Turquoise jim
  13. What do you think of these, they are printed on cotton. Just got these in on Monday 36" X 36" Let me know what you think. They're $7.00 ea plus postage Jim
  14. I'm not gonna be Searles we'll be at Tallahasse, Natural Bridge Battlefield. What's that some of you may be askin' yerselves? I'm gonna make a prediction (like a likkered up Nostadamus) about 150 years from now a new nation will be founded on the landmass that lies to NW of where we now sail, this nation will be built on natural resources like tobacco, corn and taxes for the King and after being thankful for the smoking section that was conceived in liberty, etc, etc, it will break away from the Crown ! This nation will leave England because it will be overtaxed and the people will be tea'd off about it and after a party the New England patriots will bring forth a more perfect union. Then about 4 score and 7 years after that the more perfect Union will invade the Southern Consorts because they'll believe that they have more sway with the Crown again because of the natural resources... I'm gettin' tired and this is gettin kinda circular ain't it? Anyway in about 340 years I'll be at Tallahasee once again defendin the only state capital that the more perfect union didn't sack (like Panama City.... that was for you Hurricane ... er ...Cap'n Morgan) Back to the original subject, just send me a PM and I'll happily divulge my cell # or e-mail and we can make arrangements to get together. I'm not too far from ya'll in central Fl and I'll be all over the stae in the next 3 mos. doin the CW circuit Thanks for readin, Jim
  15. Animals right we all need to recover our balls, I know I still have mine...... (rummaging in the fridge......know they're here somewhere... she told me they were) HONEY? The other guys are taking theirs out with them ..... no, not taken' 'em out, taking them out with them to go do guy stuff, shopping at the liquor and sportin' goods stores, and yes I do need to take 'em with me when I go trollin'.... I mean fishin'. I for am sick and tired of the feminization' of the world, Just look at the girls' club Chrispy has become Nell, or vice versa. Just like Lou Reed once said: do ta do...... BBBBUURRRRPPPPP! (that's right the whole ALPHABET)
  16. No wonder we never saw the two of you in the same place at the same time at PiP
  17. I'm 95% OK with this model, just picked up brass for the sleeve and finally got some nice soft mat'l for the shot bag. Bandolier and shot bag will be a little bit longer but I'm getting there, (now lets see if I can put the pic in.....while I'm at it check out the new lantern design......) The new lantern is the one on the left. Huzzah...I did it!
  18. Just so you will know, I can get you good tentage at a good price we are a Panther Dealer. With a bit more than a month to go just check with me and I'll get ya a quote and a time frame for delivery. Jim
  19. Take care of the knee that'll be a prob for a while,..... But it'll get better! If not Mission'll fit ye fer a PEG....at least I hope that's what he wanted to amputate ...... Rest up
  20. Rum Punch from the recipe in the Sea Rovers Practice! 1 part sour (Nellie & Joe's Key lime Juice) 2 parts sweet (brown sugar) 3 parts strong (Belmont Estates Special Gold Rum...The Rum of St. Kitts & Nevis) 4 parts weak (Lotsa Ice) Damn it's Good
  21. FARBY it from me to comment on anothers impression! Just look at my 1st time. (see pic on the left)
  22. Dutch if you use rope around the top of your bucket it will most likely collapse, I was researching early rubber for CW a year or so ago and wire is the correct way to keep your bucket top formed! Don't waste the material with rope at the top.
  23. don't forget you gott call 10 kinds a' m*^%$#@$%#g scum sucking s&%#t thru a straw etc. ad naseum BEFORE you cry an' tell 'em it'll be okay. Hey maybe you even get Grace to act as bait to trap 'em!
  24. Slowmatch, The period recipe is from 1628, Rope boiled in "ashe-lye and pouder" I find that you can get as good results if you boil the hemp rope (use the real stuff only) boiled in vinegar and water for an hour or so, add powder(black powder only). I use a quarter pound of powder and 2 gallons liquid, and do up a100 feet of match. After the powder is dissolved put in the p[owder and let it cool. Once its cool, take out a hang dry. (not in the oven if you value your marriage) You can use any grade, even old stuff you aren't to sure of for shooting. Salt petre is expensive unless you buy a bag of farmer grade. Black powder is 75% nitre anyway and at $12 a pound is much cheaper than sublimed potassium nitrate. Beside you can use the leftover powder. If you don't have gunpowder, you don't need match. Fred at Jamestown I get a lot of forwarded e-mails and this was just one of the recipes, as I come across more I'll post them Jim
