Old Horse Posted April 16, 2009 Share Posted April 16, 2009 Well met! I stumbled upon yer forum following the trail of a felt hat. I live in the island of Puerto Rico in the caribbean, and I have an unhealthy interest in pirates. There are old spanish forts still standing in the island. Most of them actually repelled pirate raids (you can see the cannon balls wedged on some of the walls). Unfortunately, modern Puerto Rico doesn't concentrate too much on pirates, but we are looking forward to change that! My interests are many, but chief among them is making stuff! I would like to take advantage of the knowledge contained in this forum to keep on learning. In exchange for your knowledge, I offer the same in return. I have some experience making props, leather and metal items and a few other odds and ends (plus you can come hang out to a caribbean island and drinks lots of rum!) Here's one of my projects from last year: It's a treasure chest cooler. Hope to meet all of ye soon! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LadyBarbossa Posted April 17, 2009 Share Posted April 17, 2009 Welcome to th' Pub, Old Horse. Umm, dare I ask HOW ye got that? Hehehe, well, healthy or unhealthy... it's piracy. And don't let others question yo'r interest in light of the recent piracy acts off Africa. Awesome piccie of the Fort. fantastic shot. And the cooler chest... DUDE!!!, I've been wanting one of those for a few years now! Difficult to keep food and drink cool when at the reenactment camps. This is the perfect way. Shall look forward to more conversations and the sort. And as for a drink... um, how's about... a Tequila Rose for me. Oh and BTW, awesome avatar. Mayan Warrior? ~Lady B Tempt Fate! an' toss 't all t' Hell!" "I'm completely innocent of whatever crime I've committed." The one, the only,... the infamous!

Old Horse Posted April 17, 2009 Author Share Posted April 17, 2009 Thank you all for the warm welcome. Of course drinks are on me! And the cooler chest... DUDE!!!, I've been wanting one of those for a few years now! I have a tutorial on how to make a smaller version, but it's basically the same principle to make a large one. It's very simple to make. The tutorial is here: Chest Cooler Oh and BTW, awesome avatar. Mayan Warrior? Thank you, it's the Aztec god Huitzilopochtli (I was born in Mexico). By the way.... impressive collection of life masks. Thanks, they are all related to my real life work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
