I gotta work. *crawls in corner and cries* .......

QM James..... I second THAT one. Nice choice! ON e of my Fav's!

Ahh the buckle came from our very own, Weeping Heart, Greg. He has them in stock from time to time. It's just a shy bigger than 1".

PoD; I used the 1" cowhide strap(Belts blanks) from Tandy Leather. They're just over 1/8 thick. Iron Hand; The bland is a Henwei/Paul Chen Scottish Court smallsword. I just got it from here. (A new edition, I can now play with the rest of the crew) Scottish Court Sword Cross; Ye can hand sew.... you can sew leather too. Just takes the right tools.

I'm thinking of leaving it as is. I like the natural color of it.

I just finished my new sword belt. I wanted to share. Loosely based on what was presented in this thread. Sword Carriages I wanted to keep it with a 1 inch belt. Let me know what you think.

Ooh, I like the color of the sleeved waistcoat. Nice work.

Here are some photo I snapped while sifting through V&A's textile archives. As you look through the album, the placard precedes the item it describes. I have never got around to organizing these but here they are. V&A Period Lace

I couldn't see why not. Especially if your not trying to be PC. With that viewpoint, if you want lace, use anything to get what you need. The only thing I can think of is when you cut lace does it unravel? I'm not sure. Perhaps someone who has can share their experience.

Depends on how you look at it.

Ask Master D. Dogge. He makes these rules up and yes I do believe FA is higher then an FB.

FA

Exactly what I was thinking Mr. Dogge. MUFFS!

Oh yeah Bo... I still think you got a GREAT deal for those. I wish I could have found them for that much.

Amazon Well they are still available. Oooh these look really cool...

You can scan them, probably the best way to get books into a digital format. Hey Bo I could scan them for sure. I wonder if they're still under copyright? If not then perhaps I can make them into a PDF for download..... I'm very interested to see what they have in them.

The way I understand Foxe's position is a chain of command aboard a "Pirate Ship". I'm looking at a Privateering vessel, one owned by the Capt'n. From what I've gathered in this thread and Foxe's site (Thanls for the Linky Mission.) It's seems plausible to have a powerful QM in my persona's situation. Please feel free to correct me. (Chime in any time Foxe, ) SO perhaps in the situation of a Capt'n hiring the crew that he wants perhaps the Quartermaster could have extra power aboard. Not a rag tag group of random pirates together. Perhaps I should start to look at merchant vessels and see what QM's were like on them.

Ooh I like those.

Thanks Mickey and Mission (ooohh alliteration)! I'm interested in the topic so my persona is correct and it seems to fit with my character's situation. (I'm Quartermaster of the Archangel and the Archangel is a privateer) We've talked that Jack would be the second in command and taking care of the stowage aboard ship. (ie loading and unloading) I was concerned that maybe I was inaccurately portraying the QM but kind of info helps to confirm I'm on the right track. Especially for a Privateering vessel.

Hey Mission can you explain that first sentence? Conditions of the Roving? Filibusters? I'm a little lost.

Yep the V&A museum is very helpful.

Rofl.... I wouldn't fire one. I was just saying that someone has. (Or at least I think they have.) They reinforced the tree trunk with iron bands. Hey I found the video on Youtube....

The Mythbusters built a wooden cannon I believe. It worked from what I remember.

...way too much.

Well well, Capt'n... Tis a pleasure to see ye age gracefully yet another year.
