1stMate Matt Posted April 24, 2009 Share Posted April 24, 2009 So I thought I might give this another try. Last time worked out OK so here it goes. Those of you who dont know me I am the lead bladsmith at Baltimore Knife and Sword and I am the 1stmate of Pirates Magazine. I found myself once again needing some stuff!!! After the Fells Point Pirate Invasion I realized that I yet do not have enough piratical stuff. I dressed several people up for the event and I couldnt believe that I ran out of gear. I myself was left with wearing old garb and a ren fair shirt... Needs! - nice but plain shirts. Can be dirty and warn or can be clean. Looking for correct period not ren fair shirts. - Im looking for a few wastecoasts that I can fancy up with cast buttons or something. I have a nice pattern to make some but I wouldnt mind getting some others in the mean time. - Slops. I have been eyeing up a few pairs of slops that a friend of Dave Mantz makes but he never has my size. He was sold out last year at blackbeard and at the winter market he was out of the style I wanted... so if you have some good slops that fit. I have been wokring with hand me down britches for awhile that are always too long for me.My waste size is 32" but I can fit a bit smaller too... -shoes and boots. I have quite a few but for the right pair I would be intrested. Im only looking for top notch foot wear though. I am a bit sour about foot wear. Used to own a sweet pair of Sarah Juniper boots that got stolen from me so now I cant see spending the money on anything else. -weaponry! Firearms are always good. Cant have enough. Im only into real firing guns though. No props. -Sashes...I am looking for a few new shashes. i have just about every cooler sash and I am sick of them all. I want some period patterens and tattered ones. -hats... I have I plenty of tricorns. Anything else neat then please do ask. -Belts and leatherwork is always needed. I make some sweet buckels but I hate leather work. I am a small guy. 5'9" and kinda thin. Shoe size 8.5-9.5 Hat size 7 Pretty much looking for nice stuff. I have a bunch of generic things and I want to upgrade for myself. I am also up for other neat items that I may not have thought about. If there are any craftsmen that want to trade then please mention it. I might even be able to hook you up with some Pirates Magazine exposure. What I am offering is my work. I can make just about anything out of metal. Swords of course are my main thing. I also have quite a bit of silver pirate themed rings and jewelry. I can also offer magazines tho if we go that route it wont be mine but the traded items will go into pirates mag's chest. I hope some people take me up on this but no harm done if you dont. I think in this economy we should all max out the barder system but that is how I always think. Please post in this thread. I often dont check my inbox daily but i will get email notifications about this thread. -1st Mate of Pirates Magazine -Bladesmith/Owner of That Works Studio http://youtube.com/thatworks thatworks.shop Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are a ton of local events that I am missing out on here in MD. I would love to come out and play sometimes instead of manning a booth all the time. I can try to have this done for you by Blackbeard my friend. I just learned a much faster technique for the multi fullers up the back of the blade. This wont be a cheap piece. I think I have the antler here too. Sharp or blunt ? -1st Mate of Pirates Magazine -Bladesmith/Owner of That Works Studio http://youtube.com/thatworks thatworks.shop Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And aye we can sit down at Blackbeard's and talk what kit you need and we will go over the trade "prices" "I being shot through the left cheek, the bullet striking away great part of my upper jaw, and several teeth which dropt down the deck where I fell...

If not I will at least bring the pieces and we can talk then. I am easy to please. I dont like anything too flashy, but that sword's value will be more then most of the cutlasses I make.

Captain_MacNamara Posted May 5, 2009 Share Posted May 5, 2009 (edited) What do you need in the way of leather? I am interested in something like this: Except that I'd want it with shorter quillions, with the ends of the quillions shaped like this kind of cross: I would also want a bronze skull pommel (no gemstones), and the blade to only be about 6-8 inches long, with the hilt proportionate to the blade. And it would need to be sharp. IF that's do-able... and if you need enough leatherwork to justify it. Edited May 5, 2009 by Captain_MacNamara Captain of the Iron Lotus It is the angle that holds the rope, not the size of the hole. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And it would need to be sharp. IF that's do-able... and if you need enough leatherwork to justify it. That is def doable. We already do a 7" version of that dagger that I think will meet your discription. I can always use leatherwork. Scabbards are always a need for my buisness. I love leather stuff but I never mess with it other then for handles on my swords. Sounds like it would be wurth talking terms. -1st Mate of Pirates Magazine -Bladesmith/Owner of That Works Studio http://youtube.com/thatworks thatworks.shop Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
