learn how to do a death growl
beginnings

I thought it be kinda cool to know how to death growl, like they do in death metal. Just bust out growling at a concert or coffeeshop, just for fun, you know? But you have to learn how to do it right or else you damage your vocal cords. So now, I’m trying to figure out how to get trained.

I will make either full pants or chaps using Bright Aluminum 12ga 5/8’’ rings in a European 4 in 1 weave.



Make a Tricorne Pirate Hat
what I found out

I’ve wanted to make a Tricorne hat for a while now, too. Last night I decided to figure out how it’s done. That’s actually how I found this site!
But I found out that most hats are actually one piece of felt that is stretched and steamed into the right shape. I had no idea-I thought they were sown somehow. So, this site might help.

I also found a site that makes hats inspired by the PotC movie:

For most tricornes, it’s simply a circular wide-brimmed hat with the brim either steamed into shape or sewn to the head part. As soon as I find out where to get a hat block, I think I’m gonna get this done.
