Stynky Tudor

They are so cool. Welcome to the cult, I mean club!

Everybody please welcome tobyj Toby Jack to Pyarcy Pub!

Everybody welcome Tropic Thunder to the Pub!

Pretty much. If I remember the size correctly, it could probably stow a tent as well.

I'll be sure to bring wooden bowls that Tudor Smith brought to the Alabama events, plus any eating utensils. I'll have to double check, but I think I've got permission bring and use this large old copper cook pot, minus wooden shoe and dog toys.

Holly smokes, that kitchen looks amazing!

Welcome aboard Sawney Beane to Pyracy!

Everybody, welcome Shawn Hunt aboard Pyracy Pub!

Excellent, Welcome back!

These look great to me. Talking with William (though not to speak for him), we would rather folks wore something earlier rather than later then period.

Welcome back aboard 1stMate Matt!

Wishing Diosa De Cancion the Happiest of Beerthdays!

That is beautiful fabric!

Okay, so whatcha thinking of make'n?

I've made the sleeveless pattern a few times now and can attest to it being pretty quick/easy, especially if you have any previous sewing experience. Initially I didn't have a clue or experience sewing and making (welt) pockets hung me up big time, until I saw a YouTube and I could wrap my head around the process. But even then actual pockets aren't necessary, you can have nothing or just ornamental pocket flaps.

Happy Beerthday to our own Captain Oatmeal, Michael Bagley!

If only Fort Taylor was still a thing. I remember wandering with folks into bars and the bartenders offering to fill my mug - I had one that was 24oz. Congratulations, great find!

Noice to know - thanks!

Reconstructing History RH704 is a versatile pattern. I believe it has instructions for short sailor waistcoat, long waistcoat and sleeved waistcoats. I think she's in Europe now, but when I ordered last time it arrived quickly. There are some resellers too, might even find on eBay. https://reconstructinghistory.com/products/rh704-1700s-1730s-waistcoats I can recommend this pattern, I've made both the sleeved and sleeveless versions. Sleeves on anything (shirts, waistcoats, jackets, coats) totally messes with me, but I've done it.

FIGHT! I'm so jealous of you guys making cool stuff. I usually take over the dinning room table in mid Winter until sometime in Spring. But we've had an almost constant stream of (family) visitors since November and it hasn't stopped.

Is it done yet? I want to see this finished! Now are you making this from a pattern or are winging it?

These are good looking shoes and at a great price! Has anyone got a pair of these? I'd be interested in a review.

You do make beautiful shirt!

Wow, that's a great find! Even if it doesn't hold liquid, it's still a cool prop. I've actually got an old 5 gal (oak) cask from John & Grace, but I'm not sure where it has gone since I moved (ten years ago). At the time the boards had already started drying out, shrinking and collapsing in on it's self. Since barrels are a sort of pressure fit, I'd need to soak the boards a bit to reconstitute everything, maybe buy a bag/membrane insert if I actually wanted it to hold liquid.

I was wondering that too. From what I see in the picture, there doesn't seem to be a lot let to preserve.
