ooooh... aaaahhhh... Nice gussets!š Have some large rubber bands or string handy and/or some blocks that you can prop up the brim after soaking it thoroughly. Let it dry and evaluate. Repeat until you are happy with stiffness. Once its close, you can do smaller sections at a time and shape them. I made a wooden hat block that shapes the crown flat and holds the size. I've used it a couple times now. By the way I found another black felt hat at Goodwill today. Not sure I will have time to do anything this time around, but its a larger size so at least I dont need to stretch it.

The mens shoes look like the same maker as mine. They have worn well so far and have to be 6-7 years old.

But, can you bounce a quarter off that private!?!

That looks cushy! and it reminds me. I need to make leather straps for mine...

more progress. This is the knife roll. It has space for the Big Mike Knife, which isnt available right now, and some sort of sharpening stone TBD. A couple of these knives are Russell "Green River" blades for which I made plain maple handles a while back. There is the cleaver and another set of 3 modern blades with the name polished off. The black leather will be attached at the top and fold over the blades as pic 2 shows. The end flaps fold in and there will be a leather tie on the outside once rolled up...

Made some progress today... I used distressed leather since it was less expensive and will likely get beat up in travel anyway. Next to the partially stitched bag, the utensils sandwiched together, to see how they will fit. I may punt on the extra bag for the wood spoons, I think they will all fit in the top end of the bag. Originally, I was going to make the top half smaller around til I realized the spoons still have to go thru the openingš«£

yeah, I know its not "kosher". but we needed one for a lot of potatoes.

Now that I have all these cooking utensils, I need something to hold them and ship or pack in (There's waaay more than photo shows). #1 originally thought I would make a big tool roll to hold them all, but the size and shape of the forged spoons and spatula made me rethink. So now I've decide to do a knife roll (being separate allows me to ship knive if necessary) kinda like #2 photo a tall skinny utensil bag for the spoon/strainer/fork/spatula/masher (similar to a ditty bag but taller wiht round bottom) #3 a small portmanteau case to hold the wooden spoons, measures. serving items #4 hopefully I can get it all done before 1721. The ditty bag will be easy, as will the knife roll, the portmanteaus usually take some time.

guess I missed that!

nice work! the narrow cuff is fine. Now what are ye making for the auction?

Zoinks!

Your colorful language "I finally made the call to yoink the sleeves off the blue jacket" has me asking... Is that done with a cutlass, a drunken pirate with a broken rum bottle, or a sailor's fid? š

The crew had set their dead eyes on the town, it been far to long since they set foot in Naperville. This band of rogues and wenches, set upon a plan to wreak havoc once again.. Facebook

The cloak is going to have to wait for another time. I wont need it for this event so...
-
Now... what to make for the auction???! Whatever it is, can't be complicated or time consuming, not enough time...
-
natural linen slops complete and actually fit! Now finishing up another pair of breeches, made of black cotton to get filthy looking. just needs buttons and button holes now You know this cook needs a bath something awful, so I needed some clothing to fit the part. These black breeches along with an indigo dyed/faded/dirtied shirt and apron should fill the bill
-
by the way, the waistcoat looks great! I need to finish my breeches, the leather roll for the kitchen utensils and something for the auction. I was going to make some clothes for the trading blanket, but don't think theres time now.
