Joto... Why would anyone do that? There was an abundance of metal needles then, dork. I did use a 2-needle saddle stitch to shorten my nifty woven powder horn strap by folding a portion over. Worked well. Is that what you wanted? I know your cooter hurts over the idea that some folks want hand-stitching on certain things. I'm not particularly that anal, especially in things you can't see. Is like doing car seats... Why can't you just use seat covers?

I'm going to steam my new straw hat into a tricorn tomorrow. Jon Townsend graciously sent me some pics and an explanation. I will endeavour to photo that for anyone with an interest.

Jimmy, you need to stop. You cannot win and if you strike me down I will only grow stronger.

Ah likes flintlocks, but any gun is good -- okay, guns that hurt to shoot aren't good.

Got to admit that not too interested in bone needles...but the idea of a straw tricorn has me a might intrigued. I definitely want to hear more, Russ.

." I reached down and started sliding my tunica up my leg like I was going to pull it up... He grunted and walked off quickly. Bad me.

 :lol sign Marsh, it would  have  fixed him if you were going  "Commando".

I'm  not  H/C or P/C or even a particularly  good shot but I have a hell of a good time!

I promise you, he took off at speed. At public events you get dumb questions like "aren't you hot wearing wool?" "Is that a real fire?" I smart with "Nah, stick your hand in and see." Whereupon people sorry if freak... "Don't let him talk to the public." Hehehe
