Do you carry the #1's? The open latchets were what I was looking for.

Lemarchand

So the Title should make it obvious. I'm looking for some leather, open latchet shoes. Westland seems to run inconsistent with their sizing as well as worrying if the order will ever be filled. Any other suggestions?

Lemarchand

Damn Ye Llewelyn! I had to bite my tongue, walk away from the computer and hide my wallet for fear of my wife skinning me alive if I bought more swords so soon! Looks like a damn fine piece though

Mine is a Sunforger. One piece of advice I got after the fact that may have helped. Get a "pounce" brush. It's a flat round sponge on a stick that is specificly made for painting with stencils. Instead of brushing on the paint, you pounce or poke the brush straight up and down on the area you are pa...

I'll take the knees. How much for shipping to Minneapolis 55406?

Lemarchand

I'm intrested in the the knees. Do you have a shot of the back?

Lemarchand

Curse you and your tiny tiny feet!

$185 Merry Christmas

try B. Coole design, they have a nice selection.

Sweet bit o' business there. Glad to see someone snapped it up.

Lemarchand

I cannot recommend them highly enough. Once you start buying from them, nothing less will do. Scott goes above and beyond to make sure his customers are happy and stay that way.

Lemarchand

Yes Please. jrlemarchand@gmail.com

Damn. Well that will show me not to pay attention! Congrats Oz

Or you could do my dad's favorite manuver: "Hold on a second." Tucks index finger under armpit for second, pulls it out, holds it up and looks at it. "Yep, just as I thought. I'm about a quart low on my give-a-damn."

A couple tricks I've used over the years: 1) when clarifying your mead in the carboy (I age clarify rather than add fining agents) shove a paperback book under one side of the carboy so you have a few degree slant to your carboy. It will encourage the lees to slide to one edge and you will loose les...

Galfried: one way to avoid that, (and granted it does not work unless you are purchasing in person) is to buy your own 6oz weight and test it before buying. As for purchasing over the internet I would say: read the return policy very carefully. YMMV

Lemarchand

BTW, just perusing the other pictures, your mortuary hilt looks like a piece of sweetness. With C&T becoming more popular it wouldn't hurt to develop that either.

Sorry, I'm tired and my terminology is slipping. The forward arm...the loop where the finger goes around the ricasso

Quick question, how big is the knuckle guard? I typically fight with two fingers through for a little extra leverage.

Lemarchand

Damn nice piece of work. I'd say that is a fair price.

Cedric: I would say hang tight. From what I understand after Tom is able to wrangle some legal issues with Chiv Bookshelf (long story, and I don't know all the facts) he may reprint with a different publisher. Granted this is conjecture and does not help you in the short term. But if you are simply ...

I made cloth buttons for my doublet, but there are 26 of them and it is a pain in keister when you get to the top and realized you either missed one, or you were off a hole the entire way. That said, it does add a certain amount of periodness to the outfit. On the upside, it doesn't take much to unb...

Lemarchand

Thanks, I appreciate the assist.

Lemarchand

In terms of gauntlets, what does it mean if the gaunlets are grounded or not grounded?

Lemarchand

Save yourself a bucket of tears and dissappointment and bite the bullet and buy good Sunforger canvas. Yes, it's more expensive, but it will last, and you won't get "misted" whenever it rains. It comes in 36" and 58" widths. If you can get some folks to go in with you, you can buy a whole roll from ...

I just finished the stitching on the leather on this tonight. It is my new rapier helm.

Sorry I've never got the hang of actually having the pictures appear in post

Lemarchand

Are they leather or other?

Lemarchand

Ok Pictures with blade alone first, and then the entire weapon. 24" measuring tape in for scale http://www.flickr.com/photos/62682119@N00/5985969291/in/photostream http://www.flickr.com/photos/62682119@N00/5986530360/in/photostream/ http://www.flickr.com/photos/62682119@N00/5985970181/in/photostream...

I don't at the moment, but I can make that happen.

I'll bid $175

Too good to pass up. I start at $100
