How to Make Men's Renaissance Pants
To go with the Renaissance doublet video, here's the bottom half of the costume!
Inside stories not captured on video: I had to do a lot of stitch ripping on this. First time, I assembled the side seams wrong. When I shipped the costume to Tony, the box arrived badly damaged, one side completely ripped open, and the codpiece was missing so I had to make him another one. So in the last video when he models everything, you'll see he's not wearing the codpiece, since the second one was still en route to him and not installed yet. And the sleeves are too long in this video, I'm going to shorten them for him.
All sewing is a work in progress.

How to Polka Like a German

Every year on the second full weekend in August, the Dayton Liederkranz-Turner throws the GermanFest Picnic! Thousands of people descend on the St Anne's Hill neighborhood clubhouse for freshly-fried schnitzel, pretzels, beer (and lovely German wines for people like me who don't drink much beer! :-) and live music! The bands always rock it out, but a lot of people, sadly, don't know how to polk...

    Sean is correct. It's a rumble seat because of the greater level of vibration and noise as compared to the backseat of a sedan or 5 passenger coupe . The red *hexagon* in the center of the wheel hub on the earlier Packards and the hubcaps and wheel covers of the later Packards comes from the early days in Warren, Ohio. When a car was assembled and passed the final inspection, the inspector would paint the hexagons red. The station sedan (wagon) you showed was was a "Standard" level and was unchanged from 1948 through 1950 except that some _may_ have been equipped with Packard's Ultramatic transmission. The Ultramatic was close enough to the GM Hydramatic design that Packard was sued by GM for patent infringement. Actually, the nicest thing I have seen written about Ultramatic performance is that it was built "for leisurely acceleration". I bought a 1949 Packard Standard Touring Sedan (4 door) in St, Agatha, Ontario, Canada and drove it to Detroit, Michigan the first night I had it. With Ultramatic and a 288 CID inline 8, but no dash lights, I checked the gauges with a flashlight. Maybe the car was excited to be going home, but it kept sneaking up to 100 mph. People who have ridden in it say it's smoother and more comfortable than a new car. Packard: Ask The Man Who Owns One.

      If the 56 you drove to the museum is yours, I hope the oil pump has been fitted with a steel plate to replace the original pot metal plate. Sometimes, the pot metal plates allowed air to be pulled into the pump. Custom Auto on French Street in Santa Ana, California used to stock replacement steel plates. And, certainly feel free to delete this comment if you feel it inappropriate to the channel. Edit: You may also be interested in the YT video _Packard Returns_ about an effort to start production of an recreation of an early 1930s Packard.

    Regarding the rotory engines, yes, they used castor oil for lubrication. It was also a total loss system, so the oil was constantly flung out and into the pilot's face. The solution to preventing sudden-onset diarrhea was the scarf. The scarf looks cool, but it was a necesity if the pilot didn't want to make poopy in his pants.
