Would a kevlar vest be a better option? A google search came up with a bunch of options for a vest of this type.

Yes, it was awesome.

Ursus was there so we should have some great pics in a few weeks.

There was also a kid with a polar bear head on his helmet that had a gopro camera for an eye (or at least that's what it looked like).

Question: What does the face of your ball peen hammer look like?

Thanks!

We kept three wheels of each grit with the rule, you had to regrease the wheel before you took it off the buffer.

I use greaseless compound too and I like it a lot. I also keep a wheel for each grit.

Murnig,

It was worth noting.

You can probably make it work for SCA by adding a maile drape. Helm is already set up for that.

I think the second is one of Bashford Dean's helmets from the Imperial Ottoman Arsenal. Here is a link to a paper on those helmets.

PM sent. I'll take one of the slots.

I've been fighting in one of these for a while now. The gambeson is very well made. I highly recommend these.

Hey Cat,

I helped run that Tourney. I must say that I was impressed with Black Talon's effort. I hope you guys come out for it again next year.

Joel,

Yes, there are a number of fighter practices around DC and Baltimore. Check out the Atlantia webpage for more information.

That's great news. Congrats!

Yes, mig welding is very easy to do. After some study and practice you should be able to lay down some quality beads.

FYI, MIG stands for Metal Inert Gas. It is also called gas metal arc welding.

You need to get the digital catalog version of the Wallace Collection book. It's got thousands of pictures with multiple views of each piece. Well worth the price.

Ursus was there so there should be some awesome photos in a couple of weeks.

Also, video has been posted on youtube.

I've had great results heat bluing with Mapp gas.

Received my helm parts right before the snow storm. According to my sheet metal gauge they measure out at 12 gauge.

We all know Adam is pretty great. You can buy from him with confidence.

I think that mountains with the Z is the mark of Baron Heinrich, Bright Hills, Atlantia. He's been armouring for years.

It should be noted that some models have optional parts. The linner, feed rollers, and tip can often be changed out for smaller diameter wire. It's one more question to ask when talking with the dealer about that particular model. Yup, in addition to using smaller wire, some migs offer better contr...

I think I remember seeing Ursus there so hopefully we'll have some awesome pics in a couple weeks.

The web site doesn't seem to let you buy the Churburg book. When I click through to the e-store. The Churburg book isn't an option.

I'm sure Ursus is not one to brag. But for those who did not already hear, he was made a Baron of the Court at Coronation this weekend. Ursus, everything His Majesty said about you improving our society is true. It is an honor to to have met you and a greater honor to have met with you and your cam...

We've been fighting at a local elementary school's gym (sometimes cafeteria) and a church's multi-purpose room for years.

Hi all, This is a long shot but I told my household mates that I'd ask on here. Earlier this year Baron Temur of the Kerait passed away, at Pennsic we honored him by having his sword and household tabard on display in our field pavilion. We came home with the sword but we lost the tabard. We last re...

I have a Miller Maxstar 150 that I like alot. Its an inverter, about the size of a lunch box much much smaller than Samuel's Econotig. However, mine is DC only so no AL. Works off of 110 or 220. If I had the money I would get a Miller Dynasty 200. If you have the room (and power, they need lots of a...
