Diego Santana de la Vega Posted January 9, 2006 Author Share Posted January 9, 2006 Besides me own personal padding, I'll be bringing a short stool that I suppose I could make a nice disguise for. (Maybe I could do the 5 gallon paint bucket thing with a padded lid and skirt!) Sign me up to work the gate opening shift each day. As for the signage, I was a girl scout - so if one of your artsy-fartsy members doesn't do it, I'll figure out a way to do something crafty. Who has volunteered to do the information keeping? Fri Sat and Sunday? In P S? Love begins with a smile, grows with a kiss, and ends with a knife in your back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Black Hearted Pearl Posted January 9, 2006 Share Posted January 9, 2006 I can tell you closer to March what days I be available.

Diego Santana de la Vega Posted January 11, 2006 Author Share Posted January 11, 2006 Carter's pretty good with wood burnin. Sign? 6 feet long by 18 inches tall by 1 inch thick (like a shelving material) on pine burnt in and sanded off then stained can we do this? Does someone own rebar? (to post the insides of the tent braces with) I figured heavy 3" X 3" X 7' redwood fence posts for the wood they're around $16.00 each I think (maybe that was 4 x 4) well need to burn all the post wood as well drill the abse for the rebar insert and drive the rebar into the ground at least what 8 -10 inches? also I can look for white and brown and rust colored cheese clothe or what muslin? gunny sack material do we have the tools to add grommets? or even sew large pieces together???

Pirate Petee Posted January 11, 2006 Share Posted January 11, 2006 For the tent poles, I was going to use hallow bamboo with wooden dowls or staffs inside to make them strong. The sell the bamboo at cost plus world market for cheap and the dowls at home depot. I’m going to use canvas for the actual tent, I kind of want it to look ragged, like an old sail, with my sewing skills that shouldn’t be too hard. They sell cool looking Persian rugs at Big lots for cheap and pillows. Everything else on the sketch I own. I did find some small wooden casks on e-bay for cheap as well.

Diego Santana de la Vega Posted January 12, 2006 Author Share Posted January 12, 2006 i saw the bamboo in your drqawing but? whats going to hold the dowel inside fill it with resin? bamboo is hollow and in the first wind it will snap off like a match. Not to burst a bubble but fiberglass reinforced bamboo might work but I'd like ta see no tie tethers going off away from all the poles????

Pirate Petee Posted January 12, 2006 Share Posted January 12, 2006 I was going to have a metal pin on the top of the dowel, I'm talkin a pretty big dowel to run the length of the bamboo, the pin would go through a rivit in the canvas, I was going to have other rivits to run rope through and into some period looking tent stakes.

Diego Santana de la Vega Posted January 12, 2006 Author Share Posted January 12, 2006 lets discuss this because a steel pin would crack the bamboo in half lengthwise unless you drillit all the way through and drill arent that long (for public use) see if someone has steel that looks like bamboo???

Rumba Rue Posted January 12, 2006 Share Posted January 12, 2006 Bamboo isn't strong at all, no matter what you put in it. They are too thin and just can't support a top, espcially in a good wind. The round poles that can be got at Home Depot are much better. Just saw off to what height you need and insert pin at top to hold canvas. However you will need a 'hitty-poundy' thing to put anything into the ground. That will most certianly bring a sweat to your face and body. I suggest you PM Boats, cuz he's got ties with the local blacksmith group here and might be able to get tent stakes made. He did for that other group he was in. Diego, I may be up in your direction at the end of the month or the beginning of Feb. If so, I'll contact you so I can drop off the books I have and anything else you might need.

StrangeBayPirate Posted January 12, 2006 Share Posted January 12, 2006 unless you drillit all the way through and drill arent that long (for public use) http://www.northerntool.com/webapp/wcs/sto..._ite=Performics just a thought(s): 1) Drill extensions come in many different lengths, they can be attached to one another and extended that way. or 2) Drill the end of the dowel to except the drill shank ... attach drill to dowel and spin drive 'er on through. or 3) trees or good size limbs iffin land is being cleared anywhere near anyone there. That'll give a natural look. and I know it's none of me business but it's not the first time ye been disrupted in a pub is it?

Black Hearted Pearl Posted January 12, 2006 Share Posted January 12, 2006 I agree with RumbaRue, forget the bamboo. What you want is landscaping poles used to stake large trees. These poles are made from hardwood and come in very long lengths. You simply cut the pole to the desired length. These can be had at any Home Improvement store along with the canvas for the sides and roof. Scroll down to lodge poles Don't reinvent the wheel. There is period equipment all around you, you just have to look at with a different set of eyes. Boats is one of the best encampment designers around and RumbaRue is also a great resource for what to use for encampments. Rumba, in your opinion, besides painters canvas, landscaping poles, and dowels, can you think of anything else that would be needed for the structure only? ~Black Hearted Pearl The optimist expects the wind.

Killian Posted January 12, 2006 Share Posted January 12, 2006 As some one that has seen how several different camps have been setup, I have to agree, for the poles there is nothing easier than a lodge pole with a nail in one end. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pirate Petee Posted January 12, 2006 Share Posted January 12, 2006 The bamboo is for aesthetic purpouses only. The pieces I have in mind ar pretty tall and hollow all the way through, the would go over the post kind of like a sleeve. Trust me I'm going to test it out.
