I wear my heart rate monitor to some training sessions... I have recorded multiple 1000+cal burned in 1hour sessions, I have also recorded multiple 600cal burned in 1.5hour sessions, so it really does vary.

Beautiful, can't wait to see it in person at St. Ives

Looking good! Where did you get the padded weapons?

A Quick Review of this purchase and these gauntlets: Transaction with Andrey was very smooth! I have only used western union once before so it was great that Andrey was so understanding when I made a mistake with the transaction. Andrey was perfect with communication, kept me up to date with the sta...

Thanks! Just got your message via Facebook!

I will sort payment etc through Facebook as that is easier on my phone while I'm on the road.

Thanks again.

Damien, Respectfully, you have not been 'chasing me' for the full amount for 3 years. The week I purchased the helm you left Phoenix (the reasons for that I will keep private as I don't believe the vast majority of people here need to know what happened there) After that I didn't hear from you, othe...

Mek1485

Might have some of our own stuff to print any way, no problem there...

That you tube video is very inspiring!

I think will email Craig and get some advice off of him if possible!

Thanks everyone for your help, I love the archive.

Cheers

Matt

Mek1485

That is a wonderful reproduction, though price wise I cannot afford that (especially because I feel they will be destroyed after 2 or 3 presentations)

the back shot actually show's me more of the construction ideas he used

Thank you

Mek1485

hahah

Yeah unfortunately we aren't able to go that far...

I will be looking into different duels and such, so hopefully we can avoid the pigskin and lard!

The shields were what I was really interested in... Thanks for the suggestions, I will shoot some emails off later today

Cheers

So, background first... I am currently putting together a few different ideas for a 'play' of sorts for my 15th century re-enacting group, the sole premise of which is to show a variety of different aspects of 15th century tourney life. So many other groups do the big fight displays and mini tourney...

Mek1485

What about us Aussies? I can pay extra shipping...

Mek1485

I will definitely post pics when done, its one of the duties I have as a member of the archive :P And don't stress about me moving from the 14th cent...

Mek1485

Thanks guys

Hey James the Italian half gauntlets would work, I am however looking for more along the lines of finger gauntlets with the articulated thumb... I think I will get a paif of half gauntlets made up for me as well though, one can never have too many

Hey guys and gals I am in need of a little help.
