Greetings all! I've worked for Oregon Leather Company in Eugene for 10 years and Tandy for 10 before that. We have a lot of re enactors for all periods coming in and the newest thing is Steampunk. I'm now hooked as well and have a few leather projects in the works reflecting this. I would like to offer help or advice to folks trying to make their leather -related gear. It keeps me in the loop and keeps me thinking! You can contact me here or PM me anytime; I check mail about twice a week or so. Also at www.oregonleatherco.com Looking forward to this!

I found a gold mine last year while making some sculpture. Smallparts.com They also send out a free catalog. All kinds of gears and workings to make your steampunk creations.

Just a recommendation, me hearties. This book, 'Flint and Silber' by Drake is a fine read for those still besotten with the Treasure Island theme. Not as dark as the book 'Silver' from a few years back, but still a nice piece of reading while sipping a fine rum by the fire. Your continued servant, Sebastian Arms

I just got home from the Pirates of the Caribbean marathon at the theatre in Mechelen. And I must say that At World's End is really quite good :) I don't want to say more at this point, as I know not everyone has seen it yet :) (We got it in theatre's a day sooner, and an extra "day" sooner in avant-premiere. As far as 11.30 pm can be called sooner )

The pirate theme seems popular with bars, taverns, and a few grills. I drove by one this past weekend near Mora MN called "The Crows Nest". Any local watering holes near you with a pirate theme?

I know you can't resist those trashy novels with the bare-chested, patch-eyed hero on the cover, the wind blowing through his raven locks and his silken sails. Yes, who wouldn't be tempted by that genre of 'literature' that I like to affectionately call -- 'Pirate Porn'! Now, I've got a stack of these waiting for me at my summer retreat, but I'm always eager to hear of more such literary masterpieces. So, what are your favourite Pirate Porn novels? I'll start: Um... 17th century ... England ... blue? .... fun read ... quite hot. 18th century? ... New …

Ahoy, all. Not sure where this belongs, so I'll put it here. There's an article in one of the more "national" of Canada's newspapers, about a re-enactment that did not happen this summer. The article is written by a non-re-enactor, but seems quite useful to give to non-re-enactors to try to explain some of what re-enacting is about. http://www.theglobeandmail.com/news/national/in-wolfes-clothing/article1238404/ No, it was not a pirate event, but rather 1759. Still, those of us willing to dress in funny clothes and live in the out-of-doors so as to help explain history, might find it useful in explaining some of the WHY to those who do not.

Pretty recent films I am welling to go 30-20 years back, but I would like to find some pretty recent stuff but if its like 20 to 30 years old then that seriously would not bother me that much.

KFWB NEWS 980 Posted: Friday, 17 July 2009 12:29PM Crowe May Return to 'Master & Commander' Helm LONDON - Russell Crowe is in the early stages of negotiations to reprise the role of Jack Aubrey as a British sea captain in a new movie version from the Master & Commander series of novels. Crowe told The Associated Press on Friday that a script based mostly on the eleventh novel of Patrick O'Brian's 20-novel series, The Reverse of the Medal, had been written, but that discussions were at a very early stage. "There's still a long way to go," the New Zealand-born actor told AP at a cricket match between England and Australia in London. He said talks had been taki…

It took a few days but I finally finished the re-design of The Pyrates Way website http://www.pyratesway.com The only empty pages at the site are the answers to the crossedsword puzzles and a lot of new features and information have been installed. You'll also notice that the wholesale costs and the advertising costs have dropped dramatically as we continue to give potentional advertisers a break during this sagging economy. Let me know if you have any issues with it.

So, I've been writing a website for the last 10 days on brain and spine cancer. Boy, it's scary stuff if you're a hypochondriac. I know that I need to go pirating when I was writing about Enostosis, which a form of bone island tumor in the spine. And I suddenly think, "Enostoris Buccaneers", the Bone Island crewe in a medical world. And then I start tying "spike" instead of "spine". Egad, I need a break. Anyone else find their pirate lives crossing over into the real world of work? -- Hurricane

You have decided to approach the new arrivals on your island and attempt to form a crew. You believe the Dutch slavers will return and that might give you the chance to capture their ship in a surprise ambush. Neither the strange rosary nor the parrot seems to indicate danger. If you approach the Africans they are fearful of you. They mutter among themselves in a few different tongues. It seems they have a difficult time communicating among themselves as well. The only thing they have is barrel of water. After a short time they flee from you. Looks like you will have to go this one alone. If you go to the Portuguese they are shocked to see a fellow European on th…

You have put together a crew or at least attempted such. Now you have built a crude raft and decided to approach one of the four ships that anchored off your island. The Dutch fluyt: If you approach the Dutch fluyt, “The Maiden of Curacao” you find her armed and ready (especially if you engaged the Dutch slavers earlier). The boarding action is fast and bloody. Although you manage to take the ship you take two wounds (remember you can only take three wounds before dying) while dispatching the Dutch Quartermaster. Four of your new crew are dead and eight of the Dutch have passed on. The Portuguese merchant who acted as translator was hit in the neck with a sword bla…
