  1. Well I am unsure as t' why... but I never saw all these replies... Could be because of th' computer melt down a little bit ago... Thank ye all fer yer compliments an' fear!!! "NyghtWing" was quite the undertakin'... A labor provin' my love of leathercraft an' th' spooky... It has made it's happy home on th' far other coast in California. An' I am pleased t' report it's owner is delighted with her Bat Hat of Spooky Doom. This chapeau is one of a kind an' won't be repeated... like my own Skull sportin' "Nyghtbourne" Commodore Hat... So one of these'll never show up in my Etsy Shop... These type of hats'll always be individual custom orders only. Th' bat were wet molded on a hard positive form I sculpted... th' hand carvin' an' toolin' were next. Once dry I secured th' Swarovski crystal eyes an' added a coat of a liquid that forms a hard foam used by taxidermists t' th' interior so that it'd never lose it's shape... I don't feel comfortable disclosin' what Miss Bellamorte paid for her Bat Beanie quit this publicly... but I will give a round figure t' those who message me about a similar one. Thanx again mates!!!

  10. Yeah... s'what I thought... I only post here t' make sure that th' forum's cricket function works... Heh...
  11. Just put down "Death: a Life" by George Pendle... I wholeheartedly recommend it!!! Never before has th' history of the whole of creation made so much sense... in a darkly British Humor manner that is... Continuin' with th' British Humor I just started on Terry Pratchett's "Making Money" ... So far it be livin' up t' th' rest of th' Disc World series... I expected it would... Terry hasn't disappointed me yet... Once that is finished th' book I pre-ordered should arrive... Ti's the season fer somethin' spooky!!! An' bein' th' huge nerd I be I'll be sinkin' me undead teeth int' Star Wars: Death Troopers ... That's right kiddies... a Star Wars Zombie novel... just what I been waitn' fer!!! Commodore Ashton "WeirdBeard" Synn
  12. Ahoy Mates!!! A bit ago I was contacted by a Pirate who's level of Spooky rivals that of my own t' create a leathern pirate hat that'd befit such a magnificent creature of the nyght... After many a fortnyght of consultin' and consortin' with th' darkest of powers "NyghtWing" was brought forth t' this here material plane through my hands... A menacing Vampire Bat looms from it's bow an' fixes it's dark gaze upon ye' with faceted black Swarovski crystal eyes... A suitably dark companion t' my own Skull Hat of Spooky Doom t' be sure... It has flown from here t' it's rightful owner, Batavia Bellamorte... An' upon her head may it bring a chill t' the winds an' darken th' waters she plunders!!! An' now... since ye knew this were comin'... here be th' pictures; An' here it be with my own Spooky, yet unnamed, hat; Hope yer nyghtmares aren't too terrible after this viewin'... Commodore Ashton "WeirdBeard" Synn NyghtCraft Leatherwerks

  15. Heh... I just got back from seeing the film "9" on 09/09/09... Cmdre. WB
  16. Prince Vlad Tepes of Wallachia had a rather effective solution to keep hats on heads as I recall...... Cmdre. WB
  17. I would choose the ability t' be spooky at any given moment... Oh... wait... Cmdre. WB (apparently already a super...)
  18. Thank ye Rumba... Thought it'd be more entertainin' that way than "Me and some friends went mini golfing in garb... Here are pics..."... I think I got across how much goofball fun we all had... Probably th' most humorous part of th' whole deal was that th' owner of th' place, Bob Love, was th' Vice Principal of th' Jr. High I went t' waaaay back at th' beginnin' of th' 80's... Hadn't seen him since... and some how he remembered me... Lookin' forward t' headin' back t' the Cove! Commodore Ashton "WeirdBeard" Synn
  19. Ahoy mates! Yer own Commodore “WeirdBeard” here… So as th’ summer wanes, an’ has been dull as dirt fer me, I decided t’ gather a few of my Pirate friends t’ go an’ do somethin’ fun b’fore it were gone... I needed myself some Arrr an’ Arrr…… I did a quick search on this here web thing’s “Google” t’ aid me in findin’ somethin’ reasonably local an’ it came up with “Pirate’s Cove Adventure Miniature Golf” in South Yarrrmouth, Cape Cod ( www.piratescove.net )… After I laughed an’ asked myself if this was fer real I went t’ their web site, got information, an’ called ‘em down there t’ see if a hand full of costumed pirates over actin’ with cameras in hand would be somethin’ they might enjoy or object t’… Well, they loved th’ idea… So I sent out th’ invites t’ fer “Pirate’s Day Out at Pirate’s Cove”… A piratically good time was had by all! Pirate's Cove LOVED us! We are Pirates, after all, so we decided t’ do things our own way… There were, of course, arguments over who’d go first at every hole… I took a rather aggressive stance on collectin’ tolls on one of th’ bridges… Jack thought this is where they kept ‘em so he barged right in… I decided t’ liberate a few honest souls… We talked th’ owner int’ a more… direct approach in separatin’ patrons from their money… I attempted t’ help redecorate… An’ then I commandeered their ship… This, of course, ended us up in a spot of trouble… I blame Jack fer this… But I got my revenge… We only played through one of th’ two courses and wandered through th’ other taking pictures and playing with th’ patrons. We ended up at the helm of the ship on th’ "Black Beard's Challenge" course (th’ ship is hole #2) for almost an hour... just hanging out up there... we made th’ helm our stage and played off of th’ patrons and took photos with ‘em... Everyone just assumed we were part of th’ mini golf park... I am rather impressed with th’ level of detail that went into th’ courses... up and down hills, multi-level water falls, several caverns with animatronics, bridges, th’ ships, props, an’ music... it were very cool... better than any of th’ other mini golf parks near by... No Disney t’ be sure... but really well done and entertainin’ with plaques about actual pirates at each hole... I didn't expect educational t’ be an adjective I would be unpacking from this adventure... T’ top it off, th’ shop now carries some of my own “NyghtCraft” Pirate Leather goods… By only part way through th’ first golf round I stopped callin’ it "Pirate's Day Out" an’ started referrin’ t’ it as th’ "First Annual Pirate's Day Out at Pirate's Cove"... So now I can't help but start thinking about next year... If ye want t’ be lookin’ at more images from this grand day out ye can find ‘em here; (far more images t’ be added as I crop and edit them...) Commodore Ashton “WeirdBeard” Synn
  20. Eye am werking on it! Eye am werking on it! Well I'm not really sure how to take some of this... and I'm not really wanting to start some big thing either... I did not post my pix to start some sort of "one-ups-man-ship" deal... I certainly didn't say... "Hey here's my thing that's better than yours...". I posted to attempt to participate in this forum. I'm always one who appreciates inspiring others in creative en devours... but, honestly, to make it sound like someone has to now step up and do better than me... not really cool. I am certainly not in any competition with anyone here... Ashton Synn NyghtCraft Leatherwerks
  21. I just finished up this "Vampire Hunter's Vambrace". It's covered in weapons... well... you'd consider them weapons if you were a vampire... It's got an 16" side mounted "punch stake", a jar of "holy water", 2 bulbs of (fake) garlic, and a cross mounted on the fist plate between two 1 3/4" spikes... not to mention the center pouch and metal box that could store even more weaponry... or collected fangs... This is obviously for a Vampire Hunter who has been hunting the nocturnal predators so long that he has begun to emulate them a bit more than others would feel comfortable with... Commodore Ashton "WeirdBeard" Synn NyghtCraft Leatherwerks
  22. Alright... I gots me a few... On th'close t' practical side, I'd go for one of these (then paint it black); Given my choice I'd go with somethin' more subtle... a kinder gentler image for my ride... Perhaps one of these; The "Land Master"; "Dead Reckoning"; Ideally if you could cross a 1959 Cadillac Hearse with a WWII Panzer... that would about do it for me... Commodore Ashton "WeirdBeard" Synn
  23. If ye be in th' market fer some mighty spiffy Pirate Wristbands... some of 'em with replica doubloons mounted ont' 'em... I just finished listin' a whole slew of 'em... In case ye got all th' way down here an' can't recall th' web address here ye go; www.nyghtcraft.etsy.com Enjoy! Commodore Ashton "WeirdBeard" Synn NyghtCraft Leatherwerks
  24. Ye be interested in sign'n up?

  25. Thank ye Bess! I'll have yer custom alterations done and get yer new pouch sent out right away! I hopes ye enjoy it! Cdre Ashton "WeirdBeard" Synn NyghtCraft Leatherwerks
