Capt. Sterling Posted June 21, 2010 Author Posted June 21, 2010 The demos, like the tent footprints, can actually be handled as well by captains/crew leaders...please pm me with yer crew results so we can start working on the schedule. Thank ye. "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...

Island Cutter Posted June 22, 2010 Posted June 22, 2010 Cutthroat & Blackheart plan to attend this year's festivities. Don't think we"ll put up the "Garage Mahal" out on the Serengeti though, too hot it was! I'll be bringing me Lady Friend too! She's new to this stuff, but she's a Feisty Redhead and willing to put together her kit by November. Soooo... any room with the Archangel Crewe. "No Profit Grows Where is No Pleasure Taken."

Crudbeard Posted June 23, 2010 Posted June 23, 2010 If you like, I can set up me six pounder and the ship's rail and do Crudbeard's Cannon Lessons. I havn't been doing it a lot in recent PIPs although it is a mainsay of our Pirates of the Dark Rose gigs, because it takes a crowd, and we have not really gotten a lot of crowd. Sounds like some money may be changing that. Hope So. http://darkrosepirates.com/crew_crudbeard.htm

Mission Posted August 24, 2010 Posted August 24, 2010 All righty. I'll be sending my Surgeon's gear down to Shay so's we can bring it down and set it up back in the corner somewhere each day. Hopefully it will be near someone who does a good show like Mr. d'Dogge so they can send the public my way.

Mission Posted August 24, 2010 Posted August 24, 2010 Can someone scrounge up a table and a bit of canvas to plant me under? I have so much stuff now that I can cover a whole picnic table, if that much space is available... Mycroft: "My brother has the brain of a scientist or a philosopher, yet he elects to be a detective.

Hawkyns Posted August 24, 2010 Posted August 24, 2010 I'll be stitching leather in the sutlery. New kit and repairs if people need them. Hawkyns Cannon add dignity to what otherwise would be merely an ugly brawl I do what I do for my own reasons. I do not require anyone to follow me. I do not require society's approval for my actions or beliefs. if I am to be judged, let me be judged in the pure light of history, not the harsh glare of modern trends.

Capt. Sterling Posted August 24, 2010 Author Posted August 24, 2010 Hurricane do you wish me to list Jill Red Handed with the games demo? or do you need to confirm that with her first?

RedJessi Posted August 24, 2010 Posted August 24, 2010 OH my goodness! I need to get caught up on the thread, but first I need to leave work, BUT FIRST, I want to say that I actually learned a freaking historically accurate skill in the last few months! I can demonstrate how to make yarn using roving (cleaned and carded fleece) and a drop spindle. I have a top whirl and a bottom whirl, so I could even show a couple different techniques. And something else I might be able to pick up between now and then would be an accurate way to DYE said fleece, but I make no promises.
Capt. Sterling Posted August 24, 2010 Author Posted August 24, 2010 Great addition Red Jessi!

RedJessi Posted August 24, 2010 Posted August 24, 2010 My pleasure! I am thrilled that I can do more than either 1. stand around, 2. roll cartridges or 3. get ridiculously excited about firing a cannon! I forgot 4. get drunk and talk until 4am.

I am working on making thread and weaving Spanish moss fibers... I'll be doing very basic drop spindle work and have an inkle to make straps and such.... I am also planning on reviving the sugar cane press. Sterling, I also have a variety of games I can bring down to add to the list....

hurricane Posted August 25, 2010 Posted August 25, 2010 The sugar cane press was such a cool demo. Hopefully the weather won't sabotage the crop this year. And the Spanish moss demo should be a real draw - I know you've been working on that idea for a while.

I considered the wheel... but then there is the issue of price, size, etc.... if someone is trying to get rid of one, even if it needs a little work, and it's a 'price i can't refuse' I may be willing to consider.
