Joseph & Chris O'Steen's Home Project

Here is this weekend's project. A Friend keeps giving me nautical items. He has been a vast collector, in the past, but his wife won't let him put then up in their house so as he goes through boxes he brings his plunder to me. This week he gave me two solid brass plates from England. One has Lord Nelson and the Victory on it...I'll post those photos when I decide what to do with them. Last week he gave me a brass barometer and clock. I used an old wood board I had laying around, stained it then tacked some white rope around the edge and mounted the instruments, one of my pistols and hung my pirate pocket watch, then to finish it off used double faced mounting tape to attach a pirate patch. I used leftovers from previous projects so this one cost nothing but the two hours I spent making it.
