Here links to pics I took of the cannon aboard the Susan Constant at the Jamestown settlement last easter. Hope they help.

Christine,
Keep an eye on that blood sugar. I was hypoglycemic for years before the diabetes showed itself. I still get hypoglycemic and I don't take insulin. A glass of fruit juice and tablespoon of cake icing.
The last hat blanks I got from JT had brims just over 5". I tried to make a Barbossa sytle hat with one of the blanks, but the brim was not wide enough. I ended up just making another tricorn (see pics posted earlier). However, next time I'll try using Kenneth's brim stretching procedure. Thanks for the advice.
I started playing in '81. I enjoyed being the DM. No ONE character for me, multiple NPCs. I still have more than edition of the rules and many miniature figures in boxes under my bed.
He sparked our imaginations and changed our lives. Salute!
I made this baldric last year. It's 2 3/4" wide and is loosely based on illustrations of period baldrics, frogs and sword belts. However, after reading BlackJohn's article, I’m making a sword belt like the French accoutrement belts.
