But here is my problem. I look at many of the techniques in that video and think "That would be really stupid thing to try" There are several techniques that *only* have a chance because the 'opponent' is standing there and watching as the 'attacker' takes forever to do anything. I mean who thought ...

Okay, I admit. I have very little historical knowledge. Recently I have looked into some period manuals for various reasons, and they just don't 'make sense' to me. Here is a video that seems to do a decent job of depicting the staff techniques from Joachim Meyer's manual. https://www.youtube.com/wa...

If the weather holds I'll drag it out tomorrow and put it up for some pictures.

I would be interested in seeing those pics...

And a nice looking helm....

Okay, last post. Just a bit of 'feel good AA'.... Shipped out two items without getting paid first. Both payments came in without issue, even ahead of schedule.

If you get in contact with Sir Tristan in Northshield (Nordskogan), he made more. He may be willing to sell some he has, or make more.

Oscad

Been a week since payment was sent, still have not heard anything. An update on when shipping will happen would be great :D Checked Paypal, no tracking info was included there. Thanks! Brucer As I recall, you didn't have an address with Paypal, or you wanted me to ship to a different address, so I ...

The shield is still available. PM me your zip code and I can figure out shipping for you.

Oscad

Okay, just got back, and everything that was paid for has been sent. Most will have a paypal tracking number, but the heavy stuff may not.

The rest of the items are still available if folks are interested.

Oscad

Sorry to see you go brother.

Remember, if you change your mind, you can always come back.

Oscad

My bad Dan, thought I sent that. I have corrected my error.

Everyone that has paid, the gear will ship out tomorrow. (I am having a bit of an issue with my local Post office morons and the shield blank... but I think I can work around them....)

Oscad

For those that miss the update in the OP.... As I mentioned, I am in the process of moving. Things are getting a bit more hectic than I anticipated, so its a bit harder to keep up. Any delays should be a matter of days... not weeks. But I wanted to keep everyone updated as to why I am not completely...

Heh... great job Oscad....

$60

Okay, finally got caught up. I have updated the above with DIBS where appropriate, and will remove items as they are paid for. I have one more item going up later today, a hand made bench of nice quality. I am trying to track down a cloth tape measure for the Barbute, if not I will get some pics wit...

Can't believe I typed that....

It was made by Jeffrey Hedgecock at Historic Enterprises.

Not sure I understand.... If you say you want it, then pay for it, you can have it.

If you mean 17), it is just one elbow. I have clarified the post.

And still more.... 18) 7075 Aircraft aluminum shield blank. Lightest and most resilient shield available. 36x24" from IceFalcon. Normally $180, on sale for $160 at the website. $120 http://i1259.photobucket.com/albums/ii544/robwil00/th_IMG_3503_zpsuiqvqd5p.jpg 19) Windrose Aluminum shield blank. 24x...

And more... 8) Girdle Purse/pouch based on York Finds. This was made by Ismaels-Legacy " It is crafted from 2-3 oz oak tanned cowhide. It is hand stitched, dyed, and softened. It has a simple edge groove around the belt loops and flap and has antiqued brass embellishments with a simple brass "D" buc...

Okay folks, we are moving, and thus having a "get rid of everything we can" binge. The pictures link to a larger version. The more you want, the more I will be willing to deal. If you want an item, please at least send your zip code so I can figure postage. I will put "Dibs" on items people have cla...

Oscad

That is very nice... but isn't' 1.5 pretty thin for what we do? I thought 2.0 was the standard.

Oscad

Well, to be fair; when reading the results I was like "who the heck is this Ionnes guy??"

If it was listed as John the Breeder, perhaps DA would have put him more appropriately...

Oh, and if I remember correctly, Thomas had an *amazing* day at Birka....

Oscad

And congrats on the weight loss....

Oscad

Johannes, Suggest to him to keep the ti flat, but to limit or cancel the free repairs for it.

From what I saw, they fight only with rattan. The steel was just for show.

Oscad

the 'original version' was quite a bit different than what is going on now. This version should not be a problem like that one turned into.

Oscad

Hello, This pouch was made by Ismaels-Legacy. Here is the original thread: http://forums.armourarchive.org/phpBB3/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=130749 My pouch has the more accurate Churburg etched buckle, and is more of a burgundy color. It is still new. I has never been used, and lived in the packaging unti...

Oscad

It is meant as a head covering, not as helmet padding.

If you get to pick, you should do Vigil Wednesday night after the unbelted champions warpoint battle then get knighted in the woods :-) Yeah, because making 1000 fighters wait around for your ceremony is so cool. :evil: If you want a battlefield knighting, please do it way before the battles are sc...

Oscad

Well of course. That is like saying "Fighting with a spear makes you easy Prey" Assuming you have no idea how to fight with a spear. If you are used to using a shield, there is very little learning curve to using a larger one. I really can't see someone going from a 36" heater to a 42" heater and do...

Oscad

The lightweight one is much better than 'a tunic'. It has 3 (or is it 4) layers of fairly stout cotton fabric. It is enough to cushion me from my armor, and to help when I get hit.

I spent many years wearing a tunic under my armor, this is much better.

Oscad

Is this Havards first Crown? I have only fought him a couple of times, and he has some way cool talent; but I have a hard time seeing someone win on their first attempt. Dag always does his best in tournament; he has one of the best 'head games' around. (in a good way) I don't see anyone likely to b...

Learn something new.... I just found out that I am 'easy prey' and will make a great platform once I am killed. ;) Seriously folks, there is a lot of misinformation going around here. IIRC my 'war heater' is 24" x 42" (not exactly sure of the length...) I have absolutely no issues running flanks, ru...

Oscad

Okay Glaukos, how about this.

Assuming it can be shown that those goods were stolen, does the original owner have a right to have them returned; even if the current 'owner' bought them without knowing they were stolen?

Oscad

I would just spend the few bucks on a couple of zoombang pads and use those.
