One person has payed, and now has his favor... So there are still 3 availible. If you are on the Dibs list, and no longer want to be, let me know. Current Dibs list: <s>Benedek- via private message at 12:13pm</s> Paid and delivered Valstarr- public posting at 4:54pm Agnarr- public posting at 8:39 Zu...

Rev. George

I have found three of them, I think i might have a fourth, but I have to dig through a couple rubbermaid tubs. Pricing is 20 bucks shipped first class. If you'd like to upgrade to priority mail, add 5 dollars. Current "dibs list": Zubeydah- via private message at 7:37am Benedek- via private message ...

Rev. George

I'll check my stock, I'm pretty sure I still have a couple laying around....

Rev. George

For what you are doing, you might consider casting the mock lock. Aluminum is pretty easy to cast, and would save you tons of time. you might have to do some cleanup, but I think it would definitely help cut back on the labor.

not an expert by far... but i've found that toothpaste on a q tip can get stubborn tarnish out of tight places...

What color were you thinking? While I am terribly busy right now ith real life, I *MIGHT* be able to knock one out in a reasonable amount of time...

Rev. George

My guess would be speed, size/color selection, and/or cost*. Also the medieval design website doesn't give me the confidence to send my money to Europe. -+G *Not just item cost, but also across the pond shipping. Trying to snipe a design for the former is kind of crappy, the latter, not so much...

Rev. George

It is not an acid, it is a salt, I believe... Well... That depends on your definition of Acid- Ahrennius, Bronsted-Lowry or Lewis. The last two are the ones chemist use most often. B_L defines an acid as a proton donor. This is what most people think when they think acid. Lewis acids are electron p...

After looking at my finances, and kicking myself, I'm gonna pass as well.

Rev. George

Yeah... alot of times it goes something like this: GORBAG the SCA fighter runs low on cash. his trailer is in danger of repossession and his 3 dogs got sick. so he pawns his power tools, comic collection and armour, and gets the dogs treated. then his trailer is repossessed, and he cant pay off the ...

Rev. George

I've made a small piece of maille from copper lock washers. it was very sense and quite heavy.

Rev. George

Either that... or I'm the worst estimator on the planet.

Nope... it is likely that you are just optimistic... I suffer from the same problem- I underestimate the time it will take to do a given job...

how to sew a gore (or gusset, depending on your preferred term for it)

I always thought a gore was triangular, a gusset rhomboid... Though I could be wrong... God Knows this Biochem class I'm taking has clued me into that possibility...

It's like it's own crazy sport... that's like calling airsoft LARP. some Airsoft blurs that line. I was invited to do milsim airsoft, by a guy who belonged to a clan or some such that did eastern bloc portrayals. So I was to dress up as an east German major and lead a platoon against the west Germa...

Rev. George

Your ability to take damage is determined by your training, as is your ability to deal damage. When was the last time you were actually damaged? to the point that you were incapable of continuing? because unless you are fighting "william Marshall style", you are playing a game. (Even WM was playing...

Rev. George

I'd buy from the wombat-

But only COD.

Rev. George

Wierd... I was JUST doing the same thing (except this was for a platform in a humidity chamber). What worked best was gradual heating with a heat gun followed by pressing between weights until it was totally cool.

Rev. George is "intermittent"- He is trying to finish his Ph.D., so he can only deal with sporadic work... He also really dislikes talking about himself in the third person... LOL

Rev. George

I'll be able to respond better next week- I'm officating a wedding this weekend, and trying to get my PhD quals started this week. In other words, hella busy.

Rev. George

I think the biggest difference between Latten and Brass is that the former had no set formula, and the latter certainly does. So If you showed a medieval dude brass and asked him what the metal was he'd say latten. If you showed a modern guy SOME lattens, he might have difficulty.

Rev. George

Trivia: Anyone know what the Spanish word for "Brass" is?

Answer- latÃ³n

Business is definitely on the back burner (Trying to get my PhD finished by December), but I could do some small things here and there...

Rev. George

I think there is an unspoken statement to the "don't worry ..." Routine. That is "based upon my experience" Id est: "Don't worry John smith will take care of you" translates to "Based on my experience, you dont need to worry, John smith has always done right by me" I mean unless you physically contr...

How many people "white knighted"/vouched for/praised deadbeat vendors like ArmourWorks, Hammered Wombat, and Templar Bob before the truth came out? How many people would have been saved money and/or frustration if the truth had come to light with the first deadbeat order? Thing is that at least two...

Rev. George

I have, and I guess still do, make clothing. I had one customer who was the epitome of the "amazon syndrome" He wrote me an e-mail almost daily on when his stuff would ship, when he was told, from the get-go it would be X weeks. If I didn't respond withing 12 hours, he posted on the AA paging me. I ...

I have a new, unused helmet. I've owned it for 2 days, tops. According to the label, it is a XXL. The Label effing lies. This thing is a Large, at best. (I wear a 2X, my roomie a 1X, neither of us can put it on worth a damn. If you have a 24" or smaller head, this will fit you fine. It is a 3/4 helm...

Rev. George

What I dont understand is why armourers that quit doing their job when "life" happens. I mean, it happens to everyone, I dont quit my job when "life" happens. Could you imagine, when "life" happens to everyone and we all quit work?!?! Not to excuse bad practices, but.... Your work doesn't suffer if...

Rev. George

If you have a laser printer, the stuff you are looking for is called "transparency film"

Then you iron it onto the metal, and it peels off.

Rev. George

Okay, every kingdom I've lived in called that office "exchequer."

Round these parts, the Exchequer is a kingdom officer, and a reeve is a group officer. So, for example Our reeve reports to the kingdom exchequer.
