So do I.

Stacy Elliott

Ah, nevermind.. I got it in with a bit of twisting and mallet work..

It is so off that I do not see how to even pry it close to aligned.... Will send photos when I can. Probably next week.

I had Eric weld the face together but it does not come close to fitting in the upper part.

What is the best method to get the two pieces to line up without warping one it the other?

Stacy Elliott

Does anyone have instructions or a picture tutorial on putting together Eric's Topfhelm?

Condoms for swords?

So, I heated Mild sheet steel to less than red and dipped it.. It came out nice and brown.

I heated SS rings to red and they darkend rather well..

Giles

Stacy Elliott

Has anyone heard of making mild steel black using coffee grounds?

Your picture clearly shows your sword over the top of your helm. That is the society sign for "I yield" or that you are dead...

Stacy Elliott

Yeah, you are old and slow too...........

OBTW, your picture makes you look like you are yielding...... Just say'n.

Your Grace,

I believe you meant to say "Lighten up Francis"

(if you were quoting Stripes)

Hmmmmmmmm.

It was built and used specifically for Hastings 2000..

As for historically accurate, nope, but it was not meant to be.

It was built for rebated weapons at Hastings 2000 and for SCA combat after.....

Thank you.....

I am amazed that the first shield I made like this is still fighting 11 year later.

Since the last essay went unreadable I rewrote it. The newest version can be found here: https://docs.google.com/present/edit?id=0AR5F7hzSKG2SZGdrajhtNmRfNzIyZDI1YzZrZGg&hl=en_US This is NOT an invitation for open criticism.

Stacy Elliott

Yep, I was going to point to the Black Prince myself.....

Giles

Stacy Elliott

No he isn't. Not from what he wrote. Yes, I am asking for that...... Here is the original that I posted.. remember, this is just a cross post. All, A few years back I found and image that showed the assumed armor worn in the SCA. 1. All “fully armored” fighters are presumed to be wearing a chain ha...

Stacy Elliott

No this flyer was handy to hand to them as we fought. They could read about the basics and then we were done we could answer detailed questions

As for the comment about the armour. How about helping rather than snarking.

Cross post from the above..

Looking for a picture to put in a demo flyer to explain the SCA armour convention.

All,

My Daughter is putting together her heavy fighting kit for SCA fighting.

What form of groin protection has been successful?

I had incorrectly assumed that ladies lacross would require a cup of some sort....

Stacy

Stacy Elliott

Ranger Joes sells them online.

Stacy

Stacy Elliott

Why on earth did you attach everything to the outside of the helm band?

Stacy

Stacy Elliott

Sean, At that point I was tired of digging through all the emails and lies to get you the details. Since you were working for W, how hard was it to ask Doe, or Balin who already had the details? At any rate, the customer has received a refund through Doe. I hope the best for Waldryk. Stacy

Stacy Elliott

Balin, Sean, Doe, Yes, I am very bitter about this and Waldryk and Snow's treatment of the Lady I represented. How about you guys comparing notes on the Customer I am talking to all of you about (Balin, it was in June/July that you were dealing with this and mostlikely remember being told by Snow to...

Stacy Elliott

At this point, ALL I want him to do is HONOR the sales he as already made.

Stacy

Stacy Elliott

Lord Balin,

I am glad to see things are improving.

Hope to hear from him soon.

Stacy/Giles

Stacy Elliott

Nope, but I will try the Drachenwald Mailing list.

Stacy

Stacy Elliott

Sean, I have been asked by a Mrs Loomis, in Germany to get her order filled or refunded by them. Snow wrote me a few weeks back and said she would contact Mrs. Loomis and she has not. She quote email problems. I offred to be the Email relay, but she did not respond, nor did another message get throu...

Stacy Elliott

I guess I knew of him during the "good" cycle. Watched him make tentpegs for people for free after the tornados hit camp. I was at his elevation for Armoring... Knew some guys that worked at his shop and liked it. But, damn........... To stop making is one thing. To keep peoples money knowing that w...

Stacy Elliott

Guys and gals... Anyone know the truth about Waldryk? He is not answering emails, (Again..) He is not honoring past orders that are paid for.. This just does not sound like him...... I don't get it. Something has to be going on that we do not know about... Yes, I know he had storm damage.. Yes, I kn...

Of course I was told I had crazy viking eyes when I was in can so it's up to you :P When I went to Army Basic Training, way, way back in the day (all male, enlisted, infantry DS), after weeks of profanity, combatives, shouting and being yelled at, I was brought into the office to meet ALL the drill...

Stacy Elliott

I would sometines use shouting during a shot as part of a pattern fake: low snap - leg <YAH!> offside head - <silent> low snap - leg <YAH!> offside leg - <silent> low snap - leg <YAH!> offside head - <silent> low snap - leg <YAH!> low snap - leg <YAH!> rising snap - <profit!> It works well with guy...
