Iron Hand

Welcome Aboard Mathew....I think you'll find pyracy both fun and challenging. It has something for everyone. I'm a historic re-enactor meself that has followed my family roots through the 1860's and wound up here, a bit of a devolution. As others have stated, there's all different schools of pyracy here, but most strive for correctness and certain time periods. Many are very Historically driven and quite knowledgable. Ya know re-enactors...we all evolve to the point we feel comfortable at. Pick your spot and don't fear change, you already know...It just Happens...By the way my family were Northerners, but my heart has always belonged to the South. Especially Virginia and Hampton Roads where one of ancestors plundered quite regularly.Don't worry, I don't think anybody was makin' fun of your Civil War involvement. There's plenty here from the same backround. Again welcome aboard, sit back and enjoy the ride.

Lady Jaxx and Weezer will be there unless something changes, but I don't know about any more on the crew.Jaxx usually camps right next to us, we usually raise hell together and with Pylos' Tavern I think a good time should be had by all.

We'll be sportin' at least one new swivel as well and two deck cannon. Can't wait ta finally meet you guys. There be alot planned in the way of mock battles, general non-sense, and pyratin'. As far as I know a few of Tales crew will be there as well with another cannon and small arms. Don't forget we're having an auction Saturday to raise money to help with RJ's(from Out of Control) brain operation. If ya have any pirate gear ya wanna donate we'll auction it off. All proceeds go to help a great guy, and sponsored by St Gregs. Be ready to have a great time....

Why....Thankeeee....I musta been a teller of tales in another life.....oh....wait.....I still am....But seriously it's only my twist on the subject......And Thankee again...

Nice rig Bo....Is that a Northwest trade gun yer packin'? Liam's right we do have a great period correct Rondy called Hart Canyon in April. We have Longhunters, pirates, Rangers and a complete period Colonial with a Hot Toddy Cart. We do have our various levels of experience participants, bust mostly they are all well seasoned and period correct....Just can't get em' to allow my cannons yet...Again nice rig...

Makes me feel a little Greek....If I were a Rich Man........Beautiful Weapon.....

Ask and you shall receive! Now that be a bonnie bonnet ..it be...

That be a quandry, ta be sure....But the way I sees it....posession be 9 points of the larr.....I believe the all purpose is all they have in abundance.....But things coulda changed in the last week.

I forgot ta mention gggodwin.com has verical stripped cotton stockings if any ye be in the market .

Iron Hand be a Lowdly-Quiet man of Mystery. He runs his ship like a Mercenery Hessian with a Grudge against the World, but he treats his crew with respect, as long as they do what's required of them. He's honest to a fault and able ta lie his way out of any situation, I mean twist the Truth when necessary. He's a good Captain to have as a Friend but a terrible one to have as an Enemy. He loves ta drink but expects his men ta be able to act soberly. There's non meaner and non kinder. Slow and Sure he is and rarely made the fool, least not more than once...Savvy?

Don't quote me but....I imagine as long as sailors been sailin' they been recordin' their journies on Bone or Ivory....Nice likeness by the way....saw one just like it in the Post Office today...Not carved, just a picture.........Yaaaaaaaarrrrrrr.

I emailed them about three weeks ago...and I don't know if it's just me but.....I feel when somebody won't take the time to respond to my inquiries to purchase product....I will go to someone eager to do business.....Just the way I am......Anyway....I just ordered a pair of shoes from gggodwin.com today. He is out of most style but he has the American civilian shoes comin' out his ears, he says.....They're square towed, rough side out and run large. Here's the good part 94.50 pr. in stock, usually ships next day. This is the third pair I've ordered from them. I'm just finally retiring the first pair that have served me well since 1981. they cost 75.00 pr back then. They're not as stout lookin as Loyalist Arms Shoes, which I will order later, but I needed to re-shoe quickly. I've never had any problems with his shoes or service. gggodwin carries period correct merchandise at decent prices, not the cheapest, but not the most expensive. Bye the Bye the ones Reconstructing History carries sure look like the ones on frontierfolk and if you buy them 5 at a time they're 75.00 pr. very low heel but that's fixable.

I think yer doin' an excellent job especially the chiseling. Are ya gonna add a brass tip at top and bottom?

were you at the 208 Pacifics? I was one of the judges and someone had something that tasted like what you described....It was gooooood.

I'd name it Red Skye After Red sky at morning...sailor take warning Red Sky at night....sailor's delight.....

Monkey

Grenados.....make boom.....Yaarrrrrrrrrrr. whisps or poles?

I dunno....Cased means there's probably 11 more.......King William.....I don't know why... muscatel or muskateer?

Good One That.......

I believe I partook of that libation in yer tavern at Pacific Primitives....Ahhhhhhhhhhhh.

Tricorne.....wind will drive it down not off.... Windward or Leeward?

Well....Now....Yer safe little feller......

sounds like either way there's gonna be a pokin' I'd rather be a Captain......It's good to be Captain... belayin' pin or boarding axe?

Coffee....Starin' at a box of scones,starin' back at me, just screamin' out eat me,eat me....I fear the scones are gonna win this stare down.
