    Old trigger guards and triggers.

    I'm looking for a trigger guard because i am making a non operational flintlock from scratch.

    It'd be nice to find a cheap and decent looking one. It's for a pistol flintlock.

    Just as a matter of curiosity, why are you making a non operational flintlock from scratch ? It's the same amount of work to make a functional one. Are there legal issues where you live ?

    I need the practice plus it's my first time making time a gun replica ever.

    Making Bracelets first bought some snaps and some studs and going to buy a stamping tool for boreders.

    I'll take pictures soon. My camera died and is out of batteries. There is a dts leather store that sells tandys leather stuff.

    They are really cool and teach me as i go. They let me use any tools they got.

    I will be buying more as a i progres, im addicted already.

    I suck at it but i use to draw and paint alil so maybe i can get good at this.

    What kind of work surface should i get? I heard marble is pretty good.

    Etching Knife

    Beveler

    Trying to go the cheap route just to start before i sell any thing.

    what makes a pirate

    Well i sat at this comp and think to myself what makes a pirate and then that candle comes on and i come to this forum and post it here to see what you all have to say.

    Your

    Pirate tiny

    Depends....A real pirate would thirst to survive of what he can get at waters. A reenactor would love to portray something they long for.

    Then you get the people who dress up just for the fun which can be for representing freedom or for the love of it.

    I myself dress up not exactly like a pirate but i mix it with modern day clothes if i had death date im going to die a fantastic death not your normal daily death.

    Life and love of pirates.

    I've been gone from the forum because i lost my interest in piracy for awhile. It happens yearly and i'm just settling in my new apartment still.

    Takes me awhile cause i moved alot in the matter of a year. Three places in under a year.

    So it was hard for me to keep going. I lost my interest but i'm slowly regaining it back and even one of my hobbies is going to the swap meet and hunting for gold. I'll take pictures of what i've found so far. I've found some pretty pricey things. But as i said my interest is coming back i got my well newish tatto of my nick on my feet BlackFoot Roberts. I've been working like crazy but im going to hopefully have some free time to work on costumes and other things.

    But im back for now until my interest goes all funky again. I still was interested just not as much.
