RIPP Tar

One of me mates pointed this out and I thought you may enjoy http://livinghistorypodcast.com/

Well done:D

This is awesome, I am very wood working illiterate (ask my dad, I'm sure I've taken a few years off his life trying to teach me his cabinet finishing techniques) I may try this on one of my pistols as well. Thank you.

Dude that is very cool... I need to make one of those

I know most use linseed oil or some thing of the kind to waterproof shoe soles, however has anyone tried using tar and if so would the have during the GAOP?

Hang in there man it gets better. I was in the same boat 13 years ago except the room mate thing and I was 31 at the time. Makes me appreciate things I have now. Good Luck.

To be honest we started planning this soon after the last one so we had about four months to prepare. we started to let everyone know in mid august when things started to firm up. we required teachers to be well versed in what they were instructing. mind you most of this is simply basic stuff. to attend we really wanted only crew members. this was important because some of the teachers are somewhat uncomfortable speaking in front of crowds, at least initially. however they became more and more comfortable as time went on. Our Boatswain Short Stack is the one who initially came up with the idea and did tons of research for a lot of us at the first one. This time around she really suprised alot of us by hosting an open discussion concerning the future of our group. She surprised us because she was able to do a remarkable job while working full time here in Rhode Island and traveling to upstate New York 4 or 5 days a week to work the Cayo Industrial Haunt from mid september till after halloween. she motivated the hell out of all of us. Our Captain ran a couple of history sessions at both events covering all of the golden age of piracy and focusing on pirates native to RI. How the hell he keeps all that in his head I don't know. I just read something here and i forget how to use the door knob if you plan on running one keep an eye on those you dont really think absorb any thing. They are the ones that really surprise you in the end with what they know. again we leave it open to everyone on the crew, you find the ones that are serious about your groups future are the ones that show up, and you'll find its probably better that way. the ones that show up work their butts off big time. at some point i think we want to open it to outsiders even bring in other crews to teach and learn. I know I dragged on here a bit but i hope it helped Cheers Tar

That she is. I LOVE seeing her while riding down 95, sadly though she is not in the water at this time.

I did remember Cranston but i didn't think anyone else would recognize his name. I'm just glad Capt. Atwood is finally on board here to share his knowledge.One of the best lessons learned came from Capt Atwood when he taught me it was a bad idea to wake him early on sunday morning

I do believe the city of Providence is looking for a buyer, however I also understand she needs a ton of work.

LMAO Thats awesome

Here, Here!!!

Pirate brokers looked at prominent people who endorsed piracy mostly for their own benefit like Governor Benjamin Fletcher of New York Many of the classes you mentioned have run over the course of the 2 events some of the others were cut because we ran late on time it was a great time and great boost to everyone's understanding of the era - im hoping one or two of my mates might post some thoughts here as well
