sutlerjon Posted February 4, 2009 Share Posted February 4, 2009 (edited) Just took these off the lathe. They'll do double duty as a shipboard tool or another weapon in a pinch. The longer one is 13" long and goes from 7/8" tapering down to 3/4" The shorter one is about 12" long and tapers form 3/4" to about 5/8" These can be made to your specs, would need to know the largest diameter rope on your ship.

sutlerjon Posted February 5, 2009 Author Share Posted February 5, 2009 (edited) Thank you for the compliment. Haven't decided yet, not more than $25.00, I'll probably make a belt frog to go with it, resembling an axe frog.

sutlerjon Posted February 17, 2009 Author Share Posted February 17, 2009 I got some good dimension for ropes from one of the Key West sailing ships this weekend, so I'll be able to make something that will actually be right!!

sutlerjon Posted February 18, 2009 Author Share Posted February 18, 2009 I got me a parade coming up in May...I'd be quite interested in the vending of some cheesy comestables...oops, wrong thread. I mean, I wanna buy one. OK they're not cheesy, way too much cellulose fiber, I wouldn't recommend eatin' one, might chip a tooth. I'd feel kinda squeamish tellin ya wot they're doin' on the girls' thread with 'em. But.. if you'll tell me what size rope you'd have on yer ship I can make ya one or more that would be correct for your application. I say that because I think these might be a little small (diameter wise) based on some good info I came into possesion of this weekend. I'll be runnin' the lathe next week after we get back from Ft Desoto this comin' weekend and I'll make what ya want and send it out to ya. PM me with the particulars and we'll go from there.

sutlerjon Posted February 26, 2009 Author Share Posted February 26, 2009 This is the newest one. Diameter is for 1" rope and is 15" long. Got some weight to it.

MorganTyre Posted February 26, 2009 Share Posted February 26, 2009 (edited) Seems to me that one of Hervey Garret Smith's books talks about belaying pin proportions. Also some neat info on making cleats, deadeyes, and seachests. I wish I could remember which book it was... Did some digging. I think (emphasis on think) that it's this one: http://www.amazon.com/Marlinspike-Sailor-H...h/dp/0070592187 Edited February 26, 2009 by MorganTyre Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sutlerjon Posted February 26, 2009 Author Share Posted February 26, 2009 (edited) This is the size I want to go with and the frog for the belt. These are made according to the proportions that are on GoF website (credit where due! Thank you) and acoording to him is pre 1750 correct. The top one is finished with Linseed oil the bottom one with polyurethane, pick your finish, the frog can be done in black, brown, or natural. This is how it looks in the frog The price will be $30.00 + shipping ($5.50) including the frog. Just came from post office, priority mail to just about anywhere exceptin' Alaska & Hawaii $5.50 Edited February 26, 2009 by sutlerjon Self Promoter Jim Pirate Gear oldsutlerjohn.biz American Civil War oldsutlerjohn.net Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tis a foine pin ta be sure, but as I was gonna test er by tossing it, me lady said "Best not be throwin' that thing at moi, else it will end up when the sun n'ver shines!" I thought it best not ta throw it at the puss either [although he makes a spendid movin' target, he do] but the balance is good and the frog is first rate. Great job me friend! I looks a bit too new, so's I will be dirtyin' it up some. Some nice oily dirt aughter do her right nicely. Thanks again, Mate!

sutlerjon Posted March 4, 2009 Author Share Posted March 4, 2009 Mr. McDrago, Most pleased I yam to see that ye got your pin. Am equally gratified to see that ye di'n't bounce it off'n yer spouse or yer rat catcher. Just in case it ever hadda go anywhere there be no "sunlight", I try very hard to make it smooth as a yung'uns arse an' the linseed oil finish .....well .... I think I needn't say anymore 'bout tha'. I would also like to say a hearty Thank Ya for the Totally Unsolicited Testimonial as to the suitability of the product fer belayin', or slingin' or possibly even ins .... er .... that'll be all.

Capn Bob Posted March 4, 2009 Share Posted March 4, 2009 I got me one of them fine, handcrafted pins, as well. I'm looking forward to applying it to patrons' noggins here at the library, just to reinforce the notion that when we say "SHH!", we mean it! Damn, thats sharp!

Capn Bob Posted March 13, 2009 Share Posted March 13, 2009 I got me one of them belayin' pins, and right handy they are, too. Only trouble is, the library director frowns on their use. Why, I disciplined me a couple of trouble-makin' spalpeens at library t'other day (as I work at such a place, bein' a literary pyrate, belike)), and twas *I* what got tossed into the library brig. And what makes it worse, the library doesn't even *have* a brig! And I was threatened with the rightly-feared Death By A Thousand Paper Cuts if'n I didn't stop belayin' patrons *right now*! How are we going to run a ship-shape library without belaying pins, thats what I want to know... Mad Capn Bob Damn, thats sharp! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
