brown SMOOTH early shoe

ok...i bought both the early smooth brown...and the late smooth black....

ordered at the same time(couldnt decide on which pair)((and seemed like everyone else was gettin rough out brown).....\

got brown pair in 3 monthes...got second pair nine monthes later....(ask Mickey what i think happened to em...hes the only one who knows whats it like to walk in MY shoes.. )

i have a high arch...and had trouble with both pair tryin to get my foot into em...had to slice the sides of the tongue a bit....

brown pair a little pinchy...they seemed to miss where the ball of my fooot went(or my measurin)...

black pair fit better...not as pinchy

both soles are unforgiving...especially worn all day for a week(PiP)...but nothin you caint learn to live with or use insoles...i use the heel insoles...other wise my arch (top) wont fit again

when measuring your foot....IMPORTANT

1. wear BIG SOCKS

2.placement of ball of foot

3. use a cut out as well

4.measure while standing up(foot will be bigger

otherwise...i like the shoes

tis hell bein fashionable...tis hell

DONT LOOK AT ME!!! ....i live a good...15 minutes from where it was stolen

on a side note....my truck was recently stolen...with ball hitch....hmmmmmmmm ....

next closest suspect....Mission....i'm not sayin...i'm just sayin...

fb

lol!

correction....FA....

A few more...what is this chap's name? I believe he's from England, does anyone know where in England he's from?

thats the Welshman who with his wife come over to PiP every year for their Holiday....picked on me quite a bit....i just kept callin him that Welsh Bastard...i believe he even a PuB member.....he does have damn fine beer tho...great guy all said

i just joined....throwin some pics on there...interesting site

thanks for the heads up

Ok so what's up with this stupid photo uploading key??

Damn thing is half way off of the page and won't even take the links like it use to??

Advice anyone???

getting irritated!!!

not seeing the issue....have you checked the page size of your screen??....make sure under "Page"...then "Zoom"...isnt set for "old stupid Rats'sEyes"...or sumpthin...

from what i hear, a black cat o' nine tails dipped in red paint hides the red !!! especially when it's dark and lit by only lanterns...

actually transmission fluid does a wonderfully errie job for welts and blood seepage....and is not as hard on leather falls og whips or cats....and will show up just a tad darker brown on the lighter brown whips or cats....can also work on knotted up rope.....

oooopsy ...did it again...sorry...slowly backin away.....eyes shut....mouth zipped

the last scenario involves more expertise than i am capable of, but there are people out there that can pull off a successful hanging... just an idea to toss around....

i apologise for butting in here....but i always feel obligated to mention the the safey standards of a succesfull hanging...

we have been doing "hangings" for 15 years now....and have seen other groups not take the same considerations while planning and excuting same scenario....and literally botch them up

tho the baisics are easy to accomplish....pleaase be aware of the following...

saftey...for the hangee as well as other participants as well as the audience...

no static line...line used for hanging MUST be abale to be controled and released immediatly

strong base for hanging...

audience pre-knowledge...is this for visitors or reenactors

and all important...a saftey discussion/disclaimer for the CHILDEREN after words so as to NOT TRY THIS AT HOME.....blahblahblah

tho personally i am a big fan of Hangings of all types....a bad hanging...or one that has gone ary...can ruin them for us all.....

oficially off the soap box.....please continue...again i apoliogise for the interuption

HA! HA! Stupid Mad Dog!! Ha ha ha!!

That's alright mad d-douche! You're still the very best walk the plank, nightgown wearing, camera hogging, attention needing, premo-dog-donna we have ever known!!

I mean without you we would have no one else to snicker and giggle at when the goof up!!

BTW: A special thanks to all the folks that I paid off who voted for Mad Dog in the walk the plank championship. You don't know how important it was that he won. Believe me... If he would have lost it would have been nothing but grumbling and whimpering and tears... Yes I mean real tears!! Have you ever seen a grown Mad Dog cry??/ I isn't nice!! So on behalf of the crew, we thank you for sparing us that site!!!

Stupid whiney Mad Dog....you big baby!!

REVIEW OF BO'S WORM for ARCHANGEL:

the fit was fabulous....i beleive we tweeked the tips (flared really)...so as to scrape the bottom of the barrel a tad more...and made the tips a bit more "pointy" or sharp...as to fascilitate grabbing the foil debris(which is generally a small disk).....with those small modifications...worked without fail...very happy with the result.

was wondering about a twist in the oppisite direction....as we would definately like a second (spare set)...for lost/stolen/and-or practice....

i personally like the ...clockwise twist...(with right shoulder against the barrel)...dang..i caint remember which way the twist is presently...worm not in front of me....

otherwise HIGHLY recomend the worm

i believe we would also be interested in a DOUBLE Linstock...

thanks again

I actually agree with Capt. Bo...

Be careful "sayin" that aloud Mr. Cross, it may go bad fer ye here.

Bo

Live dangerously, Mr. Cross.It's good for character buildin'. Agreein' with Capt'n Bo isn't that bad, no worse than hangin' around with M.A.Doge.

Animal

yeah...he found out what..."Hangin' around" with M.A.d'Dogge...really meant.... MUhahahahahaha

Happy Burthinday....for your birthday...i'll let you buy me a drynk next we meet!!!

oi...MATTY..for your burthinday...i went out and spent a lot o' coin on the most expensive Ale i could find....just for you....

come and get it...

if the wooden noggin is beat up...scratch..and most of the varnish is gone...probably mine

I use flint and steel very regularly as part of my school talks and demonstrations.

My method is here and you can also find a video someone shot of me doing it

.

Of course that is all based on how the Vikings did it but there is not much difference until the invention of the match.

Linen tow is often used for caulking and good dry oakum would probably do the trick too.

For lighting a candle I usually use a spill of resinous wood, shaved to a fine point at the end and dipped in molten sulphur. These can be stored in your tinderbox and when the sulphur is touched to your charcloth ember, it ignites and if you wait a moment the burning sulphur will then ignite the spill. This method goes back at least to the middle ages.

wonderful pics..what the hell kinda of fish is that?....obviously no skinny dippin there!!
