You do know your history... There is a prison also, but you need to find the dog with the key to see it.

I kinda went down the rabbit hole looking for that Morocco event ...
-
BTW - These stools are for the Pyracy pub events. I planned to make at least 4 for the pub and maybe one or two for my camp. I have a couple folding stools, but they just dont fit well in the duffle for flying.
-
where's that stool/bench you were advertising you would make? Also, Mission was threatening to out engineer my stools, c'mon healthy competition is good!

My tent has jute rope for ties across the doors front and back, as well as thru the grommet holes I stitched for the stake tiedowns. I replaced the jute once a few years back as it was all frayed. It was time to do the same so I planned to upgrade the rope this time around. Purchased 60 yards of hemp rope (roughly 5/16 - 3/8). It came in 2-50yd and 10yd pieces from Hemp Traders online The 10 yards was cut up for new tent door ties and stake ties. I made two 12ft length guidelines. Will probably use the rest as well for guidelines for the fly.

9x10 wedge - no guidelines 12x12 fly,with guidelines more like 15x15. I'll have to scrounge for poles at the event

untilWe are an immersion-style event that is Pirate and Gypsy themed! Set sail with us and take a side trip from your mundane life to experience a weekend of shenanigans, ships, fun, games and fire for grownups (or at least those who are grownup on the outside), kids and everyone in between. PLEASE NOTE: Our event is intended to be a weekend long camping experience. While you are welcome to come for the day we do not have a day pass price, and we highly encourage all attendees to dress in garb (costume) as to not break the immersive experience that our patrons enjoy. In other words, this makes us different from an event such as a renaissance faire. We welcome newcomers, especially those who take this to heart. If you don’t have anything to wear, we offer loaner costumes at the event entrance area for a small donation. https://legacybayevents.com/PortNassau.php Information

While searching for events, I found this cool link to a visitors experience in Sale'', Morocco... https://marocmama.com/pirate-adventure-in-sale/ Excerpt: Salé’s Bab Lamrissa stands at least thirty-five feet tall. This monumental gate dates to the seventeenth-century Republic of Salé. A city-state separate from Morocco, this small polity had been run by Corsairs, or pirates in Western parlance. I gaped up and up, soaking in the building’s historical import. I wondered how to fit the entire structure into a photo, without losing any of its sense of grandeur.

Anyone need a Mercenary Wench around these parts??
madPete replied to Tudor MercWench Smith's topic in Scuttlebutt
Welcome back! Funny how, as long as someones been gone, they eventually pop up again. Glad to hear you are going to Massacre Island. We are really looking forward to it and working on our kits. -
I was going to bring them to long beach

welcome back to all!

The one I'm holding on my knee is a work of art. Chad said somebody bought/traded for it and put it on the wall in a shopfront. If I could afford it... oh well too nice fer a pyrate impression... unless... maybe... you are the viceroy or something! Mine is the bottom one, which is me all over, functional but not pretty!
-
My friend sent a couple photos yesterday. the above were online shots, below are his... There are some bunks in the barracks, I'm told they are first come, first served. But we really need tents and flys to fill this big open space!
-
I bought a router bit for the gold scales box I made William, I had to dig to find it tho. I figured you wont see the mounting from the side. If you are on the floor you might see it, but then you're probably dead drunk too! The saw marks came with the stock I bought. The first stool was a different piece of wood I had laying around. so i did something different with that. Like I said the bottom is kind of boogered up on that one, oh well, learning experience...
-
nice! I'm making every stool slightly different shapes/colors
-
Just stay away from the Hemlock rum. I hear it has a kick!
-
OK, here is one I knocked out today. Maple seat, poplar or pine legs... I may wrap the legs with twine and glue where the bolt hanger is to help prevent splitting the leg. Durability is unknown at this point. I will spray the shiny hangers with black spray bomb before I stain/paint this one up.

I meant to reply to Mary Diamond, but it was in regard to the stools not the tent poles, so here goes... Purchased these items belowon amazon after the first attempt thinking, life has to be easier than what I just went thru threading that seat. I hadnt tried them out yet, but did grind down the backside and spot welded 3/8 buts on the back size for a larger screwpost. I may get to them this weekend. Look for a followup...

Thought I would post some of my favorite weapons of the Spanish miquelet variety...
