    Period Correct??

    Really, guys. This is a public forum that lots of people enjoy. Can you chill out a little? If you want to disagree this vigorously on something that's not going to benefit the rest of the readers, private messaging might be a more appropriate way to go.

    Source for period fabric

    I get most of my linen from fabric-store.com. I know a number of reenactors that frequent them. They have good prices, and I've never had a problem with an order from them. For the harder to find fabrics... well, I'd avoid most of the major fabric suppliers. I have seen good looking products...

    Ball starter with a folding patch knife

    I LIKE this! Can you give us a better pic of how the hinge mechanism is set up? Is it just a slot cut in the copper?

    Coffee or Tea?

    I drink coffee at home, but I'm one of those heathens that has to have lots of cream and sugar or creamer in it. If I'm camping light, it's too much hassle and I'll drink tea. Otherwise, I find a small tin of evaporated milk holds just enough to make my morning coffee AND my morning oatmeal!

    Any particular goals for 2012 fall Hunting season?

    It'll be my second year hunting, and I'd REALLY like to bring home my first deer! I had some good opportunities last year, but inexperience skunked me. I'll be more ready this time!

    Cooler free cooking...?

    My intention is to focus on PC cooking after I've gotten used to coolerless cooking over a campfire- that's plenty of changes from what I'm used to to start out with! I may have been unclear, though- I can find plenty of info on which ingredients are likely to be suitable for what I want to do...

    Cooler free cooking...?

    When I've camped in the past, I've nearly always done car camping, and had ice readily available to refill the cooler when necessary. But I want to start making the transition towards camping and cooking in a way that wouldn't involve that much "stuff", especially at rendezvous, and I'd really...

    Thank you for the info!

    Want to make a blanket shirt, help needed, please!

    Actually, I have seen poncho references for period mens wear also, including a period (although I don't recall the specs) documentation of how it was designed. It was more of a southwest thing, but by no means restricted to women. I am aware of the infrequency of women in the Rocky Mountain...

    Want to make a blanket shirt, help needed, please!

    :-) No need to adjust for gender- I've always been a tomboy, and I'll probably take just enough advantage of modern viewpoints to avoid dresses most of the time. That's one of the reasons I set my profile to not show gender on my posts- I expect to be wearing mens styles of clothing most the...

    Want to make a blanket shirt, help needed, please!

    Hmmm. I wasn't aware that blanket shirts weren't documentable to period. That's less than ideal. OK, then, do you have any alternative suggestions? Here's what I'm trying to do... I'm very new to buckskinning, and will be attending my first rendezvous in April. I want something that I can...

    Want to make a blanket shirt, help needed, please!

    I want to make a blanket shirt, but my early attempts at mock-ups just don't seem right. I've been trying to have the sleeves shaped like straight tubes, attached at right angles to the body. This seems to leave the sleeves too wide at the wrist, and with too much material bunching under the...

    Why "age" newly made items?

    Reading through all of these threads (and those on other forums) about making things, something puzzles me. I often see comments about applying stains etc to make something look older. But, these items in period would have started out new and aged with use. They look old now because they are...

    Back to basics, 3-shot rifle contest, ends April 1, 2012

    I take it back. Sounds like I'm not going to make it down to the range this month. Ah well, maybe next month!

    replacement ramrod and maple stock for .32 cal pedesoli frontier

    If you want something other than wood, I recently got one made from solid machined aluminum rod with a black anodized coating. I haven't used it yet, but I'm very impressed with how solid it is!

    Moccasin Sewing?

    Nice! I'm hoping to make my first pair soon, too, since I'm attending my first Rendezvous in April! Can I ask what pattern you ended up using? I've seen a few floating around, and although they look similar, it would be nice to know which ones really work...

    Navy 1851 Holster TIGHT Slim Jim

    I don't know if this would help anyone else, but... I managed to get my hands on a bunch of used rubber roof sheeting last year. It's about the thickness and flexibility of medium weight leather, and it's turned out to be a great way to test out leather patterns for cheap. Especially when I...

    Shooting bag- in progress, question about HC

    I understand your comments and concerns, but to re-visit what I said earlier, personally, I'm not actually going about it backwards. I know, more or less, what is historically correct. I can make things that way if I want to, and sometimes, I will. I knew from the start that at least some...
