Oi- I got mine today!This batch was certainly impressive! I've just opened the envelope- and on first sight they are amazing.

Oi- I was perusin' the Arrrrbay- an' I came upon this little item. Looks like it was from a Sony movie- o' course I be thinkin' Cutthroat Island, though it doesn't say that in the listing. But I thought I'd post it here, in case any o' ye scurvy dogs are interested in yer very own peg leg. PEG LEG

Happy Birthday t' ye, Matey! Hope yer day was a grand 'un.

Nope- nothing yet.

Oi- the idea originally was t' go and t' debut our Airship pirate personas..but what wi' the Pearl requiring much careening and replacing of sails, well- it may not happen this year. If we cannot attend in costume, we will probably attend fer the day in mundane adornment, and use it as an opportunity to complete said Airship Pirate- and pilot- garb.

Seems like the problem is the fact that it is size 8. I myself am also in the market for two hat blanks of this size- should ye find a supplier, Capt. Scurvy, please let me know.

There be Canadian pirates in Toronto I be thinkin..and here in BC. Dunno about Winnipeg though...perhaps..a road trip?

Opinions on my newest hat please
Gunpowder Gertie replied to Captain Robert Rackam's topic in Crafting Kit
That there is one smashin' hat, sirrah! And d'ye make these fine hats fer others, perchance? -
likely Tuesday then..can't wait to see 'em!

I know that I have seen microscopic closeup pics of a modern scalpel blade, and an Obsidian blade...and the edge on the Obsidian blade is definitely smoother.

nothing yet, but then I expect mine to take longer to deliver, seeing as I am outside of the US

San Francisco June 2010
Images added to a gallery album owned by Gunpowder Gertie in Pub Members Gallery
While exploring the maritime museum, and surrounding area on a trip to San Francisco, during the NorCal Pirate festival- we came upon this strange store- part high end clothing store, part maritime museum- only these items were for sale! The beckets are fascinating, I have been told they were the pinnacle of the sailors art- and oftentimes took 2 or 3 years to finish! Looking at them up close, it is almost impossible to imagine how these were constructed. Amazing. (for more info on beckets-go here: http://www.frayedknotarts.com/beckets.html Other fascinating items include a seaman's chest with a finely knotted fringe, and a ship's wheel, mounted on a curious wooden cabinet, and several ship's models. Along with Sailor Jerry clothing as well. -
