I know that Long John Silver was missing a leg ....

but did'nt he use a crutch instead of a peg?

.......Just wondering

Got the hat today and it looks better than the pictures could have shown.....

It's just what I had in mind...

Thanks a Ton Yellowbeard your hat making skills amaze me!

Now someone shove me towards a wastecoat & some slops!

Size large on the wastecoat & medium on the slops if anyone is listening.

Happy Birthday to you Mr. Pew

I've used CLR (sold in hardware stores) on rusty barrels with great results. Mix it up as per the directions for rust & use steel wool. Remember to use rubber gloves though....the mixture will turn your fingernails orange! Ask me how I know..... my fingernail tips have still go an orange ring from rebluing a friend's shotgun a few months ago! After removing the rust rinse the parts with alcohol then either blue, brown or if keeping in the white then oil the parts. Do not get the CLR on any of the wood (it will remove the finish) or brass. Worked good for me.

Expected a bigger fight than I got for the hat...........Glad I won though. Nice work Yellowbeard!

Pictures of the first Pirate costume I made for my Grandson's Pirate birthday party. Hooked on the pirate thing now! Working on better garb.

Here's some pictures of when my Grandson wanted a pirate birthday party for his 4th B-day.

I know the costume was hokey (threw it together with some scrub pants a workshirt with the sleeves cut out and a old dress shirt) but it got me hookrd on the pitate thing.......working on a more accurate kit now. Oh yeah the pegleg is real....lost my leg on a motorcycle a few years back & a friend & I made the leg. Walks good & everything.

We did a treasure hunt with maps in bottles leasding to other maps in bottles leading to the treasure. Had eyepatches & tattos for the kids, a pirate ship pinatta.... the kids had a ball.

Have fun doing it.....It's addicting!
