Aldwyn of Lancashire

Hello, This is Aldwyn of Lancashire, formerly a member of the St. Colin Priory. I have not been involved in the SCA now for a few years, and have decided to sell our tent. It is a Panther Primitives Regent Pavilion 16x16 tent w/ canopy fly. This tent has been used one time, at Great Northeastern War...

Hello All, Here is a photo gallery from Saturday's fighting of pole arm tourney and field battles at Panteria held in Thetford, VT. over Memorial Weekend. I took the pole arm photos while my fellow Brethren, Brother Alex, took the field battle photos. Great time fighting and meeting new people. Enjo...

Congrats D!!!! Yea!

I received my 14th C. laced shoes w/ Vibram soles in late Nov., and they are great. Nice and comfy, well made.

I've bought stuff from Frank in the past (belts, leather for projects) and have found Frank to be great in communication and helpful in ordering. 5 Stars.

For those who were photographed or interested, here is a link to photographer E.F. Kitchen's SCA book and photo exhibition:

I've used Rec-Specs for quite awhile.
This is what I have: http://www.libertysport.com/products_de ... decolo=294
I use a WMA kettle helm and have no problems. I have also used them w/ my Ironmonger bascinet helm and no issues.

Aldwyn of Lancashire

I have bought many a belt + straps from Frank in the past and could not be happier w/ his product and service.
A great vendor.

Aldwyn of Lancashire

I'm out. I ended up not bringing the camera this year.
I hope someone has something good...

Aldwyn of Lancashire

Good call, Ursus. I hope that goes well for ya!
Love your work.

I'll bring the camera again, but I'll be fighting as well.

WMA/Adam is simply awesome. I own his standard kettlehelm w/ detachable grill for over 5 years now and still love it!
Top notch in all facets.

Aldwyn of Lancashire

That is my photo of Adam + Marla as well as the effigy photo, which is my favorite.

I will also post photos from the Fort Knox Demo as well as last year's Demo later this week. Love that fort!

Aldwyn of Lancashire

That is a magnificent looking event! Love seeing the photos every year. That is the event I would love to attend and photograph.
Well done to those there.

It was a great tourney. I'll work on more photos.

"I know I saw somebody, who I think posts on this board, wandering around with a camera, and am pretty sure they took a pic or two of me in kit. Feel free to post them if you have them. I don't even have a picture of my in it yet!" Alexander, that would be me who was wondering around w/ the camera a...

Try Windrose Armoury:

I've bought several items and never had any problems w/ delivery or product.

Gest, Take a look here: http://www.gothiceye.com/pictures.asp?categoryID=3&offset=9 Scroll down and you will see an image of Sir Roger de Trumpington and the knees from that time frame. He is not wearing couters though. You will see that the 13th C. knights did not wear couters w/ flared edges. They...

Aldwyn of Lancashire

That looks sweet! Nice job! Make me one????????

Can't wait to see it in person.

Looking for a riveted or alt. row maille hauberk, in the realm of a 44-46" chest, 17" arms length, 36" from neck to knees, in general.
If anyone is looking to sell, let me know!
Thanks

Aldwyn of Lancashire

d'Antioche,
I'm interested if things don't work out.

Aldwyn of Lancashire

WOW, just Wow. Fighting at a castle-my dream. I'm jealous...
Some nice pics there as well. If I couldn't fight, I'd photo the event which for me, could be just as fun.
Have fun to those who attend!

Aldwyn of Lancashire

Brian, I have the H34 style and BTW, love it! OK, I attached maille around the back, sides, but trimmed the front of the grill to about 3 inches above the chin of the grill. If had to to it again, I'd keep a bit more in front, similar to B. Amos' kettle. I like like the look of it. Have fun w/ it! A...

I got my COP kit from GAA. His plates were of 18ga. Good protection, but wanted something lighter.
So, I then cut the same plates out of a 1/8" ABS plastic sheet, using copper belt rivets #10 size w/ a 6oz leather shell. Much lighter.
Good luck!

I use a c-belt to hold up my leg armour.
I believe http://www.houseofthewolf.com/ could help you out. I think he makes them.

Aldwyn of Lancashire

Dang, I'm jealous. Nice work GK!
Enjoy the armour, ML!

Aldwyn of Lancashire

Owynn, Congrats on getting a Berry masterpiece--you are going to love it! I got the kettle helm w/ removeable grill. Very cool. OK, this is what I did-- First I cut a strip (maybe 1.5" wide) of closed cell foam so it fits the around the base of the helm. Then cut two more strips (lay one strip East-...

Ursus, Speaking as a newspaper photog, I want to see the action shots from single tourney to the melees to the large field battles. On the larger battles, show the wide shot giving us a sense of the scale and number of combatants. Then zoom in for those slices within the battle. Shoot the good looki...

Aldwyn of Lancashire

My congrats to you as well, Klaus!
As an owner of Klaus' work, his work is fantastic and a great guy all around.

During a recent heat + humidity spell, I wore my UA tee, under a linen shirt, w / my CoP + full arms. Worked out very well; kept me cool.
I'm the guy in the kettle helm in these photos:

Your Grace,
I will certainly pass along your compliments! Thank you.
Maybe someday Kristin and I will make Pennsic and will be armed w/ my 400mm sports telephoto lens!

Aldwyn of Lancashire

Hello Duke Logan, To answer your question, the photographer would be my wife, Kristin. I'm the guy in the kettle helm, BTW. I also took a few photos of the final bout. Being a professional photographer by day, I'm teaching her how I want SCA fighting to be shot. She is getting the hang of using my d...
