Pirates 2011

Categories: Pirate

Here are some pictures from Halloween night! Had a fun night with friends and family and the thirty or so trick or treaters we got! Kinda bummed about the turn out, but we were definitely the hit of the neighborhood! Had a fun time making everything and having the Fiance help with the arts and crafts was a fun treat! … Read More

Drink up me` hearties, Yo Ho..

Categories: Pirate

Almost done with my Halloween display for this year! Just plowed through the last of the East India Trading company burlap sacks (with help from my awesome other half! 😛 ) that I may use to hand candy out to exceptionally well dressed ghouls and goblins! 🙂 Still need to stain the Gibbet post and … Read More

Barrel Pirate!

Categories: Pirate

The last major prop of the year is almost done! The last bucky I have is now affixed to a barrel I scored at OSH! The costume is still being shipped (hoping it gets here SOON) and I still need to attach some metal rod to an arm to holdup a bottle! I think I’m … Read More

It’s unfortunately been a solid month or two with absolutely no prop building, so today to much delight.. I managed to squeeze in a solid seven hours of unadulterated prop building madness. I have an extra Scary Terry servo and I wanted to make another talking skeleton in addition to my Helmsman, so I’ve been itching to … Read More

Treasure Chest and Pirate Swag!

Categories: Pirate

I had some left over wood from a recent project, so I turned this chest out in an afternoon! It is made from plywood and stained with a dark mahogany. The lid is curved and from the outside it looks decent, but the gaps on the inside are shoddy at best, but no one but me is going … Read More

Cursed Jack Sparrow

Categories: Pirate

I’ve been working on finishing up my Helmsman as of late and I decided to get a Jack Sparrow costume for the threads! I was going to rip up some old clothes and make the clothes look really ratty, but I figured I’d order a cheap Pirate costume and do the same thing to it … Read More
