Good Lord! That's beautiful!

I have a set on order with Icefalcon.

No way. Blow up the picture. You can clearly see two separate layers -one is steel, the other is leather, and the whole sandwich is held with split rivets. In fact I had wondered if there weren't *three* layers, two steel with a leather backing, but I can't see any evidence for it, and that's needl...

Hell no you're not. I'm all bought out for this year, however, so I couldn't join in. Just as a curiosity, what's your aim, SCA, re-enactment, both, neither? There's a group coming over to Crossroads in Time in June from Texas and I wonder whether you'd be interested. You'd get a chance to see some...

Aaron's already sent me a pic of the buckle he MADE :shock: specifically for my project to compliment the buckles on my other gear. I am so looking forward to seeing this thing when it's done and making use of it. This may sound weird, but am I the only one here that gets a little endorphin rush fro...

And what, praytell, is wrong with being a Renjunkie? She sounds like a nice young lady. Christopher As I wrote that phrase, I thought I had recalled seeing your handle - no offense meant! I'm actually hoping to get to our nearby festival this October/November. And she is - unfortunatly she's headed...

At present, I'm not involved in SCA, and, as far as I know, don't know anyone amongst my friends who is. So, at the moment, I don't have a piece of rattan that isn't incorporated into patio furniture (though I do have an Albion Landgraf that might make for an interesting picture.) This will be a lit...

You hear $100.

That or hickory smoked.

In a nod to the half of me that is of Italian ancestry, I'll up the bid to two pounds of pancetta.

At last, my gauntlets have arrived! Well, actually, they arrived almost two weeks ago, but I've been working too much to write it up. I also made a little discovery (which I'll mention later) that prompted me to do this now. These gauntlets were the last piece of an order from Steel Mastery. I would...

[quote="Ansell"]I do not recall ever seeing spaulder lames articulate under the rerebrace like this. They appear to be reversed from what I know. There are what appears to be rivets along the lames and a hinge for the rerebrace. quote] I think I recall seeing a discussion concerning the direction of...

I have a semi-custom 3/4 harness from Steel Mastery that I'll put up pictures for once the gauntlets arrive - they weren't happy with the articulation of the first set, but sent me all the other pieces and remade the gaunts. They should be here within a couple of weeks. I have a picture of the helm ...

Number 22 does it for me.

Since you're not especially happy with the pauldron/arm transition, how 'bout this for a thought: Starting at the point where the half-round plate on the outside of the pauldron ends, taper the pauldron on the same line as the lapel of the suit. This would give a "Zuit Suit" feel to it and might als...

Incidentally, one of the bad roman guys in the background sports a sort of sallet with ... wings Okay, this might be a bit out there, but, given the guy in the winged helm appears to be the only one in such garb, and given that he is mostly hidden, hanging in the background, might this be a represen...

While I'm no expert by any stretch of the imagination, this thing certainly appears to be a modern, mass-produced knock-off. At best, the guy has been sadly misinformed; at worst, he's trying to pull one over on someone with more dollars than sense. Given that he's been provided at least a few notic...

Flea markets yield cheap tools.... Also, tell her it is this hobby or strip clubs. As one who lives in Spring, a suburb community of Houston, I can attest that the strip club threat carries some serious weight. There are some areas of town where you can't swing a dead cat without hitting a titty ba...

This is my favorite. Why? Because it's mine!

I got a nice pair with my harnass from Steel Mastery. Don't have pictures with me, but I'll try to get a picture this evening and add it to the post. Should be under $500; nothing too fancy, but nice, late XVth century Gothic. As promised - pictures added. Brass rivets; cast buckles; blued; besagews...

I'm by no means saying that I wouldn't order from them again. and thier Quality is great. but this isn't a $20 t-shirt, but a helm almost a grand. :shock: Its just towards the holidays, its been like a weeks wait before i got a response. hopefully it will come on Wed. for my birthday... I'll hit th...

I emailed them a last on Jan 3, still no responce. I still have no tracking # All i can do is wait... but any longer... I'm not sure what i need to do in order to get my money back!!! its just crap that i've waited this long with no responce from them... If you check their website, you'll see that ...

I have a 3/4 semi-custom, late XVth, Gothic harness that I commissioned from them. First shipment took just over 3 weeks; second just over 2 weeks. This was to Texas. Manufacture time was a little slower than expected, but largely attributed to electrical concerns at their shop as the Ukrainian wint...
