Just as a matter of curiosity, why are you making a non operational flintlock from scratch ? It's the same amount of work to make a functional one. Are there legal issues where you live ? >>>> Cascabel I need the practice plus it's my first time making time a gun replica ever.

I'm looking for a trigger guard because i am making a non operational flintlock from scratch. It'd be nice to find a cheap and decent looking one. It's for a pistol flintlock.

What would be the right way to go about making a leather tankard? What leather? Would i need oils? Should i tan it? Do i need a wood insert for the handle? A sewing awl good for stitching it up?

Sounds like i shall be doing that. I have my almost finished my first bracelet. The snaps don't look right at all.

Making Bracelets first bought some snaps and some studs and going to buy a stamping tool for boreders. I'll take pictures soon. My camera died and is out of batteries. There is a dts leather store that sells tandys leather stuff. They are really cool and teach me as i go. They let me use any tools they got. I will be buying more as a i progres, im addicted already. I suck at it but i use to draw and paint alil so maybe i can get good at this. What kind of work surface should i get? I heard marble is pretty good.

So im learning how to leather work. Going to be making belts,sheaths,bracelets, and a bunch of other things. I was wondering if there are tutorials or what tools are good to be starting with. Tools i have - Rubber mallet Paint Scraper sharpened to do tracing Etching Knife Beveler Trying to go the cheap route just to start before i sell any thing.

My tattoos are on my feet. Blackfoot on my right And Roberts on the left.

Welcome to the board we hope ye stay.

Disney is going to keep making films until the movie has only jack sparrow left....POTC One pirate one world.......

Sorry to hear this. This is a great loss without knowning him and he shall be remembered.

Depends....A real pirate would thirst to survive of what he can get at waters. A reenactor would love to portray something they long for. Then you get the people who dress up just for the fun which can be for representing freedom or for the love of it. I myself dress up not exactly like a pirate but i mix it with modern day clothes if i had death date im going to die a fantastic death not your normal daily death.

I've been gone from the forum because i lost my interest in piracy for awhile. It happens yearly and i'm just settling in my new apartment still. Takes me awhile cause i moved alot in the matter of a year. Three places in under a year. So it was hard for me to keep going. I lost my interest but i'm slowly regaining it back and even one of my hobbies is going to the swap meet and hunting for gold. I'll take pictures of what i've found so far. I've found some pretty pricey things. But as i said my interest is coming back i got my well newish tatto of my nick on my feet BlackFoot Roberts. I've been working like crazy but im going to hopefully have some free time to work on costumes and other things. But im back for now until my interest goes all funky again. I still was interested just not as much.

I am now a jack in the box cashier as of today. First real job. Instead of me trying to build a clients repairing comps

yea the look alikes do a good job sometimes. I just finished watching the 3rd pirates last night. I forgot how much i love the effects and the movie in and of itself. I love it so much

This is a very nice idea but what happens if they stop?

Best of luck mate. I hope ye can see ya sis.

You have to make the cops stay together if they don't they die quickly.

Happy birthday!
