privypiper2002 Posted January 31, 2014 Posted January 31, 2014 I wanted to say hello to everyone here. I'm an older pirate from the Arizona Ren-Fair days. I have been plundering the southwest for some 30 years. I'm a nurse when not plundering and a retired minister. I can still do marriages or a quick exorcism after a night out pub crawling. My only real claim to fame was that I was one of the suppliers for baldriks and belts for Disney's POTC. The only down side to that is when you work for the mouse you sign a non compete clause that states you cannot sell anything related to POTC under your name.....sigh..... So as they say, "Fire your leward guns, or nail your colours to the mast." Extra credit if you can guess who made that quote. :-)
William Brand Posted January 31, 2014 Posted January 31, 2014 Welcome aboard! Always glad to find another pirate West of the Mississippi. You should post pictures of your contributions to the franchise. I'd love to see your work.

Captain Jim Posted January 31, 2014 Posted January 31, 2014 Welcome aboard, mate. Time to change yer name I think. Wait...if you do exorcisms you could always tag one of those wayward spirits to be your "ghost" salesman. My occupational hazard bein' my occupation's just not around...
Mission Posted January 31, 2014 Posted January 31, 2014 Yes, please do post some pics of your work!

But initially he wanted to be a pirate."
privypiper2002 Posted January 31, 2014 Author Posted January 31, 2014 You can see most of my work on in the movie. Only two pieces on the principal actors the rest on the vaious crew members. They were kept in a costume bin and unless you were a main actor with signifigant camera time you went to the bin. Still loads of fun. I recently let go a captain Barbossa hat to an avid collector. I will be making another soon. Odd little note. If you look at captain Barbosssa's baldrik it is just a nicely weathered Scottish crossbelt All the buckles are still available from any highland supply. I have an extra just in case. Like I mentioned, Can't say the POTC on ebay or Disney would be given me the black spot. *shudder* When it comes to exorcisms it usually comes down to holding someones hair while they expell the foul deamons while kneeling at the porcelain alter. But I digress.
madPete Posted February 9, 2014 Posted February 9, 2014 Welcome aboard mate - and pleased to have met you today at Pioneer village! mP Aye... Plunder Awaits!
Black Syren Posted February 9, 2014 Posted February 9, 2014 For your Quote was it Joshua Davis? http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v519/Dara286/trident01-11.png If you got a dream chase it, cause a dream won't chase you back...(Cody Johnson Till you Can't)
privypiper2002 Posted February 9, 2014 Author Posted February 9, 2014 Joshua it is. Ding, ding, ding. ;-)
Black Syren Posted February 9, 2014 Posted February 9, 2014 Yay! Even though I have been absent for a while I am still learning and reading. He was a marine if I am not mistaken and to nail the colors to the mast meant they would not surrender, they would fight to the death. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v519/Dara286/trident01-11.png If you got a dream chase it, cause a dream won't chase you back...(Cody Johnson Till you Can't)
privypiper2002 Posted February 11, 2014 Author Posted February 11, 2014 Very true. Thank you for the warm welcome. :-)
Stynky Tudor Posted March 29, 2014 Posted March 29, 2014 A belated Welcome and glad to 'ave you aboard.
