hurricane Posted January 26, 2004 Share Posted January 26, 2004 I highly recommend Jeykll the Hidesmith - everything is custom and top notch. And if something doesn't fit, simply ship it back and he'll fix it for you no problem...

Scupper Posted January 27, 2004 Share Posted January 27, 2004 I be using Dark Rose. His stuff is great and has same quality guarentee. And he's willing to work with you to get what you want as well as the pricing. A true mate. Scupper "That's the navy for you. Rum in the scuppers today.

El Pirata Posted January 27, 2004 Share Posted January 27, 2004 There goes another paycheck... I love leather stuff. Pushing the limits means getting out of my comfort zone and giving more when I don't think I have any left. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dreamie D'Avanzo Posted January 27, 2004 Share Posted January 27, 2004 Aye Hurricane! Jekyl the Hidesmith is a great leatherworker. Me Mate got all his leathers there.

hurricane Posted January 27, 2004 Author Share Posted January 27, 2004 Ahoy Dreamie, Glad to hear he was satisfied and that, well, you were satisfied. Looking forward to hooking up with you in the future, what's say? More voyages? -- Hurricane ______________________________________________________________________ http://piratesofthecoast.com/images/pyracy-logo1.jpg Captain of The Pyrates of the Coast Author of "Memoirs of a Buccaneer: 30 Year Before the Mast" (Published in Fall 2011) Scurrilous Rogue Stirrer of Pots Fomenter of Mutiny Bon Vivant & Roustabout Part-time Carnival Barker Certified Ex-Wife Collector Experienced Drinking Companion "I was screwed.

julius27 Posted January 27, 2004 Share Posted January 27, 2004 I do a lot o' me own leatherwork, though I love ta see what other craftsmen be doin'. I got a pair o' greaves (shin armor), Elizebethan frog, baldric, a couple o' other frogs, and sword and knife sheaths that I made. That be me pirate stuff. I also made a set o' pauldrons (shoulder armor) an' a kidney belt. Also, there be me proudest work ta date, me own version o' the Witch King's crown from Tolkien's Lord of the Rings. I wanna build a cuirass (chest and back armor), but I ain't worked up the nerve yet ta start on it. I must say that I'm pleased with how ev'rthin' else has turned out so far, though, so I'll get to it. I am Julius Aurelius, future ruler of the universe. Kneel quickly, for I have many feeble minds to overcome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matty Bottles Posted January 27, 2004 Share Posted January 27, 2004 I need a knife sheath for my dagger. The sheath I have has a snap, and is far too modern for my kit. I thought of ordering one from an on-line dealer, but decided to offer the work to one of me pub-mates. If you're interested, PM me. "The time was when ships passing one another at sea backed their topsails and had a 'gam,' and on parting fired guns; but those good old days have gone. People have hardly time nowadays to speak even on the broad ocean, where news is news, and as for a salute of guns, they cannot afford the powder. There are no poetry-enshrined freighters on the sea now; it is a prosy life when we have no time to bid one another good morning." - Capt.

Dreamie D'Avanzo Posted January 30, 2004 Share Posted January 30, 2004 Ahoy Hurricane, Aye we're all very pleased wit' the leathers.... one other thing we ordered special from someone recently (who shall remain nameless unless ye's ask in a PM) we were less than satisfied with. It was a black Pirate jerkin/vest thing, which we were hoping t' use as me mate's wedding suit. Too big, shoddy work and bad seams, riveted with a Bedazzler (Machine riveted me ARSE) and smelled t' high heaven of smoke. We sent it back, an' thinkin' of making it meself. An aye we're both itchin' to do some more piratin! It's nearly all I think about lately... hows I can improve our attire an' going to goodwill all the time for more big pirate jewelry. Thrift, vintage, goodwill and garage sales, the modern day piratin'. We'd be interested in any event ye's can throw. I love the Pirates o' the Coast's website by the way.. vera vera nice. Good Plunderin! ~Dreamie~ "Ah, the city.. with all it's people and their accumulated wealth, yes?" -Yoshimo www.Dreamie.org Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
