  8. Hardened my frizzen on my fowler Saturday at an event using the leather and can in the fire and other reenactors were shocked and amazed! An hour and 5 minutes and I'm throwing sparks like a welder. I use water pump pliers to pinch my main spring but then again my middle name is danger! From now on I'll harden every frizzen in this manner.
  9. If you're working with flat felt, you're like 3 steps ahead of making your own felt. Wool Batting, some bubble wrap, water and soap and you're off!
  10. There is a video on youtube of what Patrick did to harden. Dont know the title, just search for "hardening a frizzen" and it should come up.
  11. If the Queen anne pistol appeared on your door step, would this mean that your crazy ex girlfriend would be holding the said pistol? hahaha..Close your blinds!!

  13. That was for halloween and that would be a trick or treater. We had 5000 people walk through our camp in two nights.
  14. Anyone interested, we have a few things coming and our normal on goings. Kern Co. pirates go out once a month on the skiffs for a camp out in Montano De Oro. We leave from Morro Bay and follow the coast line south a bit. There is a little cove we camp in that can only be reached by boat. It's very primitive camping and the boats are small, so you have to be in good physical shape. We have room for 3 or 4 people every so often, you can bring one small ditty bag and whatever you can hold on your person. You'll need enough food for yourself for 2 days and foul weather gear. If this sounds fun to you send me a PM. We have workshops once a month as well here in Bakersfield, California. In mid February we are having a workshop on Lantern making. We'll each recreate a period lantern from an example we have. In mid March we will have a workshop on Sail making. We won't go into detail on the history of sail making but we will make a period sail that will do just that....sail. Or use your skills to make the perfect make shift tent. In mid April our workshop will be on belly boxes. We'll be creating one from a photo example.. PM me for info and what you will need to bring..
