The $8 armour stand! http://mattyds.com/essays11.php :D I made one just like this before pennsic this year. Worked great. I added a second ground stake for added stability. I also added A lower pipe to hang leg harness, stained it, and put a coat of poly on it for looks. Total cost: about $15 Total...

Randy - PM Sent FYI: I now have 3 people who have asked for shipping estimates (which have been replied to via PM), and one person interested in Pennsic Delivery. Nobody has actually AGREED to purchase the tent. The tent will remain for sale until the time i actually have money for payment. Thank yo...

Im not sure i understand the texture of "plasticized canvas", but to me it feels exactly like most of the other more period tents around camp. It feels like canvas.

Sorry if that doesnt answer the question. I swear im not trying to be a smart ass.

I believe the carry bag specs are towards the bottom of their site under the specs. I will check on shipping as soon as possible.

Thanks.

This doesnt have anything to do with armor or fighting, but this is the classifieds right? I just moved to Atlanta, GA. in March and moved in with a roommate that i met the first week i was here. We didnt really think things through and needless to say, its not working out. Too bad we didnt realize ...

I bought it last year new from the manufacturer and used it for 10 days at Pennsic. Therefor it has been set up ...

I bought this last year off of the archive and paid around $350. I have recently finished an aluminum version and this is just sitting around. I fought in it for about a year or so, and never had any complaints. I would like to get $250 plus shipping. I would also like to have this sold and money in...

Draqesus Sachason

I have one of his original designs of this sitting on a shelf behind me. It is the heaver version, but it looks the same.

Id be willing to let it go if your interested.

http://www.linengarb.com Last year i ordered a few tunics from Adric13 and the above site. Ive already reviewed the tunics, but to refresh, it was 5s across the board. A year or so later i decide its time to grab some of the Rus Pants ive been eyeing for a while now. Not only are these pants everyt...

The buckles will be in back right?

The buckles will actually be on my right side. I am a "dirty cheaten lefty" (as ive been called) and the buckles being on my right side make it so they are behind my shield.

Thanks for suggestions, everybody. Much appreciated.

I just moved to Atlanta a few weeks ago myself, and there is always something to do. I also had to sit in a hotel room for about 2 weeks before i found out i was staying here and had to find a place to live, so i understand the situation. I actually plan on making my first Atlanta practice that week...

Draqesus Sachason

Quite possibly, depending on what time i would need to be there. When is proposed carpool leaving Columbia to head to the event? Also, when is carpool planning on arriving back in Columbia?

Thank you for the assistance.

I recently started lacing up some lamellar plates a friend made for me, and i have finished the basic lacing. Im not 100% positive i laced it correctly, as i just went for it and figured it out as i went along, using some photos as references. It seems to function fine, but if you have suggestions i...

Draqesus Sachason

Army Surplus for sure, but if you dont have one near you or they dont happen to have one (doubt it), Ive seen them at places like Target and Dicks Sporting Goods for under $50. I got one at Dicks about 2 years ago for around $30-40 if i remember correctly. Ive actually used it at two pennsics now an...

Ive yet to get a practice in. I was told they happen on sunday and tuesday, and i believe i have a rough idea of where they are located. Ive only been here for about 3 weeks and im still not used to the area (or the driving conditions). I have been trying to get my head straight since i moved here o...

I just moved to Atlanta, GA from Indy, IN and havent met any SCA fighter folks here. Being that the drive to Blackstone is now 9 hours instead of the usual 5.5 hours, i was wondering if anybody going, might be able to fit me in a seat, or possibly the trunk, or rooftop luggage rack of their car? Bas...

Received my leather covered bazubands and legs today. The bazubands are a bit longer than i like, but i blame it on my own faulty measuring rather than bad construction, and i almost dig the idea of added protection they may offer above the elbow. Aside from this they fit great and are incredibly co...

Someday, oh yes, someday, there will be a helmet of such beauty.....in a smaller size.

On this day, it will be mine!

Amazing as always.

To be honest, the entire Spangen 4(x) line is amazing. Im waiting for the day i see one of similarity pop up in my size. This will be the day i buy my next helmet.

I have one of these, and while they are pleasing to look at, i have to admit that it is the heaviest hilt i have tried out. I only used it at one practice due to the weight and the stress it put on my arm. Apparently he has a newer design that is a bit lighter, but i just thought i would mention it....

Any chance for an updated list?

i might have interest in the cuisses and knee cop combo. I am always looking for better and more low-profile leg gear. Any chance of a prototype photo?

I also recommend the Hockey Girdle and Knee/Shin (w/ leather on sides). My exact set up is: Thorax Hockey Girdle http://www.inlinewarehouse.com/descpage-TXDG.html Damascus Knee and Shin Riot Gear (w/ about 2inches of added heavy leather to sides) http://www.chiefsupply.com/Law_Enforcement/Crowd_Cont...

I actually came on here to post a review myself, but you pretty much said it. I received 4 earlier this week in Rust, Dark Green, and 2 Black and they are all of equal awesomeness. Cant beat the deal for these, in my opinion.
