Welcome james17, glad to have you aboard!

Nice job, looks great!

I can bring my bottle to 1721! I barely even dipped into it for my hat so I've plenty to go around and no opportunities for the foreseeable future to use it before it goes bad Thanks for the offer, but I'm good for the moment - though I'd like to pick Pete's your brains about it while we're at the event. In the early 2000s I gave the shellac thing a try and failed miserably. I tried making my own hat blanks too - that failed too, but ended made great cat cup beds.

In my earlier years of this hobby, I loved finding old misshapen wool hats from thrift stores or even new wool hats from walmart and target and turning them into pirate hats. I never got the stiffening part down very well and had to rely on whatever a given hat came with. The current batch of hats I'm working on are thicker - more substantial and of course expensive. Anyway, good finds - great job!

Very cool! I'm going to have to give it a try on my next leather project.

Wow, they came out great. Where did you get the idea to use olive oil? Fantastic!

Considering by the golden age, people/nation states were routinely circumnavigation the globe - I would think some level of education/critical thinking was being employed. I don't think this link answers your question, it's more about how peoples viewed/interpenetrated eclipses in the 1700s. https://petercorneliushoof.blogspot.com/2017/08/eclipses-in-1700s_19.html?fbclid=IwAR0SQgy3_XfOu4BD85zX-cwbcK433qHHiNafG_bC611f9ENl6wODpXaAJXk_aem_ARJ6Ub9kJCHOWs6femnPq1dlPpmX7MrfOOSwhyNfWwx44MmJeNzM4vOcztUj46FaCeDbGTvxvxIpYTGh-T_XnDem

I wish Ed @Fox would join us - that is a great question.

Could have fooled me. Sure looks like you could. I'm using a discarded mattress foam topper, it fits pretty snug inside the bed bag, but it's not all that taught. But you're more than welcome to try bouncing a coin on it. Mink Oil?

Excellent - love the distressed leather.

Excellent job, it looks great - the red cord is a nice touch too. Consider the job well done. You are now relinquished from servitude. What are you going to do with the rest of your life? LOL ...and thank you again for sewing that for us.

I'll take credit for finding the material at the Thrift Shop, but the main credit goes to you for your hard work sewing. From what you've shown so far, the shirt looks amazing!

Thank you! No.

Thanks, it's pretty comfy. In that picture, it's rolled up with a couple wool blankets. I cut up an old leather belt to make the straps, not sure where I got the buckles from. Just using some hemp rope through the middle as a sling.
