Patrick Hand Posted July 13, 2007 Share Posted July 13, 2007 What your seeing is three pieces.... the belt.... a sorta "sideways L" shaped piece... and the loop... The loop is sewn onto the back lower edge of the sorta "sidways L" (you can't see it in the photo tho....) then folded around and stitched at the top. (making a loop to hold the scabbard. When I sewed it to the belt, it goes about 1/2" on the inside of the belt.... I then trimmed it at an angle (the leather is realy thick) to take out some of the thickness.....

Capt. Sterling Posted July 13, 2007 Share Posted July 13, 2007 Hey Patrick mind sharing the dimensions on the frog?

Captain Jim Posted July 15, 2007 Share Posted July 15, 2007 You forgot your musket. You know you think too much about pyracy when you know what someone left out of the picture. Will you be bringing this kit to PiP? My occupational hazard bein' my occupation's just not around... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Patrick Hand Posted July 15, 2007 Share Posted July 15, 2007 I didn't include the doglock in the picture, because I won't be bringing that to PiP..... Those are the weapons I'll be bringing to PiP.... Not included in the picture is the English Dragoon Pistol I just ordered from Callinsh....

Patrick Hand Posted July 17, 2007 Share Posted July 17, 2007 Once I get the Dragoon Pistol, I have to make a case to transport all the weapons in..... I still have to finish.... two shirts, make another pair of slops, and three pair of drawers.... Hey... there's still 4 months till I have to have everything finished......

Jack Roberts Posted July 17, 2007 Share Posted July 17, 2007 Wow I didn't realize how close PiP is. Yes! I'm so excited. Still have a few pairs of breeches to make and possibly a new waistcoat or 2. Finish my tent. Buy 2 pairs of shoes. Grab a pistol and all the accoutrements need for such. Well at least I know I won't run out of projects. Yep PiP is going to rock this year!

Capt. Sterling Posted July 17, 2007 Share Posted July 17, 2007 I still have to finish.... two shirts, make another pair of slops, and three pair of drawers.... Three pairs of drawers?? For one weekend?? Now who's the fancy dan...just use yer shirt...

Patrick Hand Posted July 17, 2007 Share Posted July 17, 2007 I could get by with only two pairs..... but I have to keep one set of clean clothing for the flight home..... A Pyrate on an airplane is one thing.... a stinky period smellin' one is another..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Capt. Sterling Posted July 17, 2007 Share Posted July 17, 2007 You have a VERY good point there!

Silkie McDonough Posted July 17, 2007 Share Posted July 17, 2007 I can tell you from experience ...they would not let Patrick on board without a change of clothing and a shower. He went the VERY authentic rout last year. Let me remind you, it was HOT down there and those of who love Patrick and wanted to share his company, learned to stay up wind of him!

Patrick Hand Posted July 17, 2007 Share Posted July 17, 2007 Yah... wearin' th' heavy wool jacket in Key West wasn't one O' me brighter ideas...... I got stinky realy fast....... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Patrick Hand Posted July 19, 2007 Share Posted July 19, 2007 I want to make a wooden case to carry my weapons in.... I just checked out the price of boards at the hardware store (Yah... I know they will be a little less at the lumber yard...) OUCH..... Then the thought struck me.... Why not take apart a pallet to make the case from.... we have a few outside....(someone gave them to my boss to use for firewood...and she has a cord of wood already stacked and cut to length) I'll have to play with the idea tonight after work, and see if it will work......

Captain Jim Posted July 19, 2007 Share Posted July 19, 2007 Word of caution there, mate...the Department of Transportation (DOT) has regulations for cases and such. You might want to check the rules first. My occupational hazard bein' my occupation's just not around... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a great idea.... I've used wood recycled from wooden shipping pallets for many re-enactment creations. The down side to it is it was hard to find consistant sized peices for what I was making, but the extra work was worth it, it gave the finished product a nice aged and used look.

Patrick Hand Posted July 19, 2007 Share Posted July 19, 2007 You might want to check the rules first. I looked on the DOT page, and couldn't find anything about shipping small weapons.... When they were shipped to me, they came in cardboard boxes...... I know that if I fly with them, they have to be in a locked hard case.... but making a wooden case would fit that discription..... My biggest concern is making it strong enough to survive baggage handlers.....

michaelsbagley Posted July 19, 2007 Share Posted July 19, 2007 I finally got my new sword guard! (and way sooner than expected). Now I have even more motivation to finish the sword belt! I won't post the pics here as they are numerous and big (file size).... But I have them stored in this folder in case anyone would like to have a peek. Pics of my new clamshell sword guard I've also included a pic of the original that it is based on.... The guard is made for a threaded rod tang sword blade, so it is currently fitted with a 28 inch fencing blade, I also have a 30 inch sabre style fencing blade that fits the guard. I'm a little geeked up about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hey... there's still 4 months till I have to have everything finished...... The Dragoon pistol arrived yesterday, so I started re-finishing it..... I don't think I'll bring the boarding axe..... a Blunderbuss, two pistols a knife and a cutlass should be enough for Key West....... I still have to make one more shirt, and the drawers.... I bought a light blue wool blanket at a yard sale, I might re-dye it darker and make another (lighter weight) coat, so I'm not as hot (and stinky) in Key West this year.... And a compleate set of Garb for Carol......... 114 DAYS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rats Posted August 30, 2007 Share Posted August 30, 2007 Just wondering as to the typical weather... Are we talking slops and shirt and still sweat yer arse off??? Or is a longcoat or even short jacket overkill??? No rest for the wicked! Wait a minute... that's me?! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Patrick Hand Posted August 30, 2007 Share Posted August 30, 2007 The weather wasn't too hot during the day... but it isn't a bright idea to wear a heavy wool jacket durring the day eaither..... At night it isn't too bad.... But I am making a much lighter weight wool jacket (more of a sleeved waistcoat) for PiP..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silkie McDonough Posted August 30, 2007 Share Posted August 30, 2007 Patrick speaks for himself! I was meltinh in slops and a shirt last year! Then again, I am ...err ....ummmm ...better insulated than Patrick is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
